over the weekend i changed the fuel pump on the jimmy, with a 3/4 full tank of gas. Definitely wasn't the easiest job in the world but i got it done in a couple of afternoons. Starts better than it has in months now and the gas gauge isn't jumping all over the place anymore too.
The only problem now is that one of the solid lines, which i never even touched except to replace the fuel filter, that runs to the front of the truck is leaking just ever so slightly. It looks like it's the smaller one and i'm still looking for the exact place it's leaking from. I guess that all the new pressure from the new pump is revealing the weak spots, lol.
Does anyone know if there's any place that sells the complete line?

You might be able to call them and ask if they will sell just the bases for those. They do separate from the bulbs so they might.
I went to the pic-a-part and got one tail light housing for the led project. Too bad I didn't have much $$ or I would have come home with a tire carrier and maybe some leather seats.
Maybe next time.

Well, I noticed the other day my speaker mounting bracket was busted on the rear drivers side, so yesterday I made a template out of some 1/4" MDF to make new ones. Today I cut them out. Later on when I get home I'll sand the edges a little bit to clean up some of my rough cuts, and toss on some black paint. Tomorrow I'll remount my speakers.

I installed the cone from a CIA from a friends Dodge Neon SRT4. With a little clip on the rubber, it fit right up!! I drove it up the street and back and it runs like its new again!!! Heres a pic of it. I know its rusty but its been sitting now for almost a year. The filter is still clean. Ill get a new one soon. Just wanted to see what it looks like and how it ran with it. It will even spin the tires now!!
Today, I got my all my LEDs in the mail and threw em on the blazer. I then vacuumed, shampooed the carpets, and took it threw the carwash. Ordered some Wind Deflectors for the windows, advance ran out of them -.-

Got replacement sockets and higher power LED's (I hope) for my instrument panel today. I was going to install them over lunch, but decided I didn't want to do it under a deadline. If I have all evening, it'll take 15 minutes. If I only have 30 minutes (because of the drive to the post office) it'll take 45.
Six of these in blue (remembered teh socket this time!)
To replace these wimpy things that took a couple weeks to arrive and resulted in me mangling the factory sockets because my soldering iron lacks pointy
I hope the fact that the Superbright product has 5 LED per bulb means they'll be brighter than the Taiwan/PRC/wherever single diode doohickeys. Not 5x brighter, I hope. But still better than what I bought first (thinking it would save money, never seems to work out that way)

.
So I scoured the yard for a driver's leather seat and I finally found one. This seat is full powered and came out of a 2000 Blazer I believe. I had a little bit of a time getting the seat out because it had no power to the seat. But all in all, got it out okay. My seats are charcoal gray and this one is off-white colored. So I'll either dye the seat or take a stab at reupholstering. The seat is already in the blaze but only 3 of the 4 sides of the seat bolt up. I guess that's what I get for getting a seat out of a 2000 blaze and putting it in a '96 blaze. Of course, I'll either drill the hole in the seat to make it fit or swap the tracks with my '96 cloth seat I suppose. The wiring is completely different too. So I'll have to fix that. My wiring now is 2 prong, the seat is 4 prong. Oh the troubles of seat swaps...
