I also rewired my fogs with a relay today so that I could use a new switch to run them.

Finished making my own draw bar for the hitch I just put on. Used two pieces of 1"x2" steel and welded them together to make the 2"x2" male end to fit into the hitch and then used a piece of 5/8" steel 2" wide and welded that on top of the 2"x2" bar (of which the 5/8" piece already had a hole in it). And to top it off, after drilling the 5/8" hole in the bar for the pin I used a grade 8 5/8"x4" bolt. Double nut for now, but gonna drill a hole in the threaded end of the bolt to use one bolt and a clip. If that thing breaks, my blazer will be broke long before, of which I shouldn't have been towing that much to start with lol

Replaced both of mine(2002 Blazer 4WD). more recently the engine to remote oil filter lines. It wasn't fun but could have been worse. Just be prepared and you will be fine. Be ready to use a very long extention(or several together like i did) to reach the bolt and also jack the engine up slightly in order to get the lines out.

I don't have a way to jack up the engine unless I use the scissor jack that came with my truck.

I don't want to nor am I suggesting you do something dangerous or risky but for informational purposes I used a hydraulic jack with a nice wide piece of wood on the pan in order to jack the engine up just enough to remove it(without loosening any motor mounts, also it is not recommended to jack an engine by the pan but that’s what I did).

All information posted is for informational purposes only. I take no responsibility and assume no liability for any action taken from my post. Anyone attempting what I did does so at their own risk.

Sorry about the clause, seemed like I needed to throw that in there.

Fair enough. So jack it up but I don't need to loosen the motor mount? Wasn't aware they had quite that much flex in them!
