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.

ahh naa they looked so good in the picture tho

I saw a few zr2s in the yard here but the flares were gone

Yeah, this one was stripped of almost everything already lol. The axles were both gone and I believe a lot of the suspension minus the shocks.

But if the flares didn't have cracks on the inside of them, I might would of got them. Looked like somebody spilled white paint or did a horrible job on primer too. What does the junkyard usually sell them for to you?

Either of you guys happen to have another trip to your yard planned anytime soon? I need a steering column cover for mine but the local yard has nothing at all.

Finally got to the the rear window defog fix on both the Bravadiva and SilverBird.
Doing it the RIGHT way!!! Helluva lot harder on the bird because of the rear window slope.

And wrote it up with pictures -though pretty crappy ones- on the latest thread on the subject.

Default Hi friends!

I`m Mariusz from Poland(Europe) I have bought a year ago 97 Blazer LT full time 4x4. It`s really kickin` ... car But I got big problem . I`ve bought it without front driveshaft, so in winter time it`s difficult to ride through snow. Somebody could help me? In Poland there is no spare parts for blazer at all. If I find sth, it`s appearing a car with electrical switch of 4x4. It`s not my model. So please help me. my mail is mariuszmateraATgmail.com

Default Fixing break line issue

It appears my back brakes don't work as a result of a leak. I somehow still have stopping power with front only. I spent money on the back and the young grease monkey missed the problem and simply bled them and said it was air lock. Two days later I noticed a leak under driver side door.

I bought some tube. I am going to replace the worst looking line. I got a tip here to leave the old Line in place.

Going to do a double flare or two to fix this problem I was willing to spend money on, but now I will do it my self.

Tips?

Last 2 posts should be moved the the appropriate threads so they can possibly get better help.

Me too. Probably not for awhile. But there is another pull-a-part I'm near now since I'm in another city. I can check to see if they have any BlaZeR2 the next time I go.
