Didn't do much yesterday but drove my Blazer back home after dinner last night and parked it. I jump in with my cousins and went to the bars for a couple hours for my cousin-in-law's birthday last night. Now time to add some miles on my Blazer to go to work and back home. Hope everybody have a good day.

got those outer tie rods done on that co-workers '04 trailblazer. wasnt too bad a job, bout a hour & a half. did notice some play in the l.f. wheel, and theres some noise when going down the road, think it needs a $100+ hub bearing. this truck has been one thing after another, and only has 106K miles on it. glad it aint mine.

Yesterday... fianlly bit the bullet. Changed oil in both Bravadiva and the Tbird. Mobil 1 5w30.

Made bigger mess w bird than Bravadiva.

Bad thing: all 4 crimps at filter remote lines seeping.
@%##%#@%#@!
Tempted to take off then Cut crimping collars and reuse same lines with dual gear clamps just to see what happens!!!

Also forced to use AC filter on Bravadiva despite recent filter revelation... too lazy to stop where they sell Purolator. Interesting Motorcraft 400S filter will screw on and seal... difference being recess of top plate. Not taking no chances. will use AC D till I can get a good filter.

I did some body work too, just not productive.

My blazer met a rock and one thing led to another.
I also broke my licence plate mount on the back bumper.

Yeah, that's why the door corner is bent out.

Okay, here is the pic of the zr2 in the yard when I got one of my skid plates:



And Gio, is this the bracket that I needed to get for the skid plate?





And here is a pic of the skid plate I got. Look at all the sludge on it. Good thing simple green took most of that off!

Okay, shew! Lol, I'm glad I got the right brackets. I'll probably install that skid plate and bracket next weekend. It shouldn't take much longer than the oil filter skid plate I'm hoping.

I was considering getting those flares, but 3 out of 4 had cracks in them, either on the inside or out. Would you still of got em if they had cracks?

And that was the first Zr2 I've seen in that yard.
