Just picked up my Blazer from the body shop today. God i missed driving it for the last 4 days. too bad it has to go back on tuesday and get the bumper corner piece resprayed where they missed and realign my main bumper. huge gap on driver side, no gap on passenger side. oops on their part.

 

well today i think ill have to detail the inside of my truck out. maybe make some cb radio mounts so it actually looks like its supposed to be in the truck. im going to meet up with a couple people from the cherokee forum. gotta keep the jeep recovery team presence. lol. we are meeting up at the dog n suds in fox lake around 5-6. so incase anybody else wanted to go there let me know. im thinking about heading down to pick n pull in wadsworth around 3 or so before hand. let me know if you wanna chill or something!!!

oh and i decided i am going to take my truck to proctoberfest. its next weekend up in cedarburg WI. im not sure exactly where or anything like that but i know only a couple hundred people go. im gonna try and wheel my 96 cause i have no way of getting the k5 up there. incase anybody wanted to go with to that let me know by pm and ill see if i can get an address for ya.

 

(Last night) Drove my buddy to buy himself an Exploder, and then left it at the bar after my bday party there. Was a darn good time.

I Need to get some vacuum hose and finish off my CB mount one of these days too.

 

also thinking about making some lincoln lockers for the k5. not too sold on it yet.

 

took rear driveshaft loose so i could grease the u-joints, dad had put greaseable u-joints in a couple of years ago but the lack of clearance with the driveshaft installed makes it impossible to grease unless you take the driveshaft loose from the diff & drop it. used a c clamp to hold the bearing caps in place while greasing. also greased the front steering linkage.

 

ok, not really what i got but close enough....
my blazer got a little brother couple days ago.
my younger brother picked up a 2001 zr2 for 2500.00!!!

man i wish i had the cash....oh well.
great deal to, went over it with a fine tooth comb...couldnt find anything wrong with it.
even has moon roof and newer tires/brakes.
has 160k on it roughly....guy wanted to ditch it because of "poor gas mileage"
so my brother got lucky.

on the plus side it is the same color as mine soooo i called dibs if he ever sells it.
for parts or driving.





best part....he was driving a 99 exploder...got hit...was totaled...they gave him 3000.00 for that pos...so he actually made 500.00...
i told him "best dumb luck of the year"!!

hopefully he will soon be a member here as well....told him you guys know all there is to know in the blazer world around these parts.

 

Very nice warthog they do look like twins haha great deal also

 

Looks so ho hum YAWWWWN stock next to yours .
I'll bet he'll be talking your ear off about what to do 1st & next & next & next with it lol

 

Installed the hitch on my 87 K5, those front bolts are a bitch.

My help failed me and let the hitch fall and hit me in the side of the head while he was trying to line up the bolts.

Owwww my head hurts and its been 6 hours now.

 

ouch that sucks

When i installed the hitch on my blazer i got a floor jack and made the jack hold it while i bolted it

was kinda a pain but easy
