Ive been doing some cosmetic stuff to my Blazer. Nothing fancy at all. I plasti-dipped my rims, glued a hood scope on(the hood needs replaced anyway and its just a tiny scope from AutoZone), did some free hand painting on the hatch(I did a bow tie) and free handed my and my old ladies and my daughters name above the door handles. Also, i painted some lines on my taillights(supposed to look like taillight gaurds). Im not gonna spend that much more money on it as the Blazer is falling apart. Both the outside mirrors need replaced, the wiring all over the Blazer is FUBARed, the transmission is on its way out. Once the tranny goes, this Blazer is gonna be parted out. Im not gonna say that Blazers are junk because this one has had way to many "backyard" mechanics that messed with it. The motor still runs strong. But anyways, Im still waiting to do the rear spare tire carrier. I just got done moving into my new house so it kinda got sat to the side and forgotten about.

Do you use it to see things? Can it raise up like on a submarine, or is it situated more like what's on a sniper rifle?

Finally got around to putting my cd player in correctly and make it look like it fits nice and proper.
