Finished my bolt in receiver hitch for a pull point up front or for a winch. Installed LS1 efans upfront instead of the belt driven hog and wired the relay to a in cab switch to turn off when in deep water.

That's funny. I never thought someone might think that.

In another life I had another wife. I also had a K5. I miss my K5.

I like to be able to see & be seen, that goes for tail lights as well.
the headlights were strickly for show. i kept my nice ones for at night and when i want to show off i put these in

Just ordered some Monroe Reflex LT shocks for the blaze! Can't wait til they get here! I have heard only positive reviews on these shocks, so I thought I'd give them a try. Anybody running these shocks on their blaze, jimmy, or bravada?

And I thought about a boot for the shock, then thought about it again and thought naw, don't want one. All they do is trap dirt and promote shock decay anyway. So looks like I'll be going naked boys! =P

Didn't really do anything, but got a tracking number for one of them thar multifunction overhead computer dealiebobs. Kinda psyched about that, partially because the fuel gauge is almost as accurate as a Mini14. But mostly because I'm kind of a geek.

Got a Bunch of blue & green LEDs on the way for an instrument panel like the cool kids have. Really hoping they both show up at the same time.

Well I killed a chirping squirel under the hood by replacing the belt tensioner and pully today, then went down and ordered my 30" BF's. Can't wait to get the tires and spacers on.

Ouch!!! I went through that a couple of weeks ago with a rear spring replacement. It took about a half an hour of pounding it from both sides, impacting the nut on and off and spraying crap on what I could get to. Not to mention I had to cut the bastard due to chevys ingenious plan of placing the head of the bolt on the freaking INSIDE of the frame. Good luck, you will get it.
