cool, thanks

it's not structural, just annoying to hear it rattle all the time. making it quiet with the "bubblegum" fix sure did make it nice and quiet inside for a little while!

I installed some new speakers all around this weekend. Was the first I did to my "new to me" blazer. I have a few other things I want to do but I am trying to not spend money on this Blazer and concentrate on my Camaro.

i took a look at my k5s today to try and get a plan of attack once i start working on them and i saw that the front clip would be a direct swap!!!!! the only difference would be the hood not being long enough but i can deal with that. the doors will be a direct swap too. all the same mounting hardware but im not sure if i would be able to keep the power windows.... and i would also have to chop off the top of the doors in order for them to work with the top. but ill make it work. either way im really excited to start working on them. damn weather!!! i need a good week or so of fair weather in order for this to go smoothly.

Got my own insurance for my Blazer. It is pretty high but I figured because of couple weeks ago. Letting my brother drive it with me because we both work at the same place. I am happy that I finally get to ride in my Blazer again Found out today that my court date moved back to January 24th instead January 31st

the wheels on this thing are some cheap aftermarket polished wheels that were really oxidized bad from years of neglect. since its too cold to wax them weekly, i figured coating them in wd-40 would help preserve them through the winter, guess i'll find out.
