Good luck litterbug.

Tibby, it's an ebay intake with the filter that came with it. I plan on making a heat shield and getting a k&n filter for it soon-ish. I'll have to get some vids of it today.

Hey Thogert,
When you figure out this:
"Current project: Figure out why I'm blowing a fuse when I try to pop my rear hatch."
Let me know I've been blowing that fuse randomly for over a year now, never really looked into it but it would be a good thing to get fixed

I think it started when I put the leds in my gauges. I probably pinched some wires or something behind the switch when I took off the dash.

Hmm mine started long before i messed around with anything in the dash, My theory is there is a short somewhere between the dash and the hatch.

Just an update on my blazer. The body lift came to a stop because part of my sway bar had been broken off for awhile and that needs to be replaced. I've been driving with a broken off sway bar for quite awhile now. But since the lift is going on, the sway bar needs to be replaced and a new idler arm . Hopefully the lift and replacement parts will be on this weekend.

I've had a bad day between this news and some news from one of my professors. Hope it gets better. I'll keep my head up.

On another note, that noise up front wasn't wheel bearings, I think it was a chunk of the sway bar getting caught somewhere or something like that. :/

The blazers don't like to make any kind of repairs/modifications easy or simple.

Blasted through a few snowbanks in the parking lot at work. It was a blast!

Ok some vids for you.


I made a second one because the first wasn't uploading right to my Photobucket.

In the second one you can hear it sucking in the air better than the first one.

Sounds good thog! Oddly enough, I had the same squeak during my exhaust vid. Seems like all blazers do it!
