Changed out the O2 sensors before the cat (general maintenance), oil/filter change, replaced steering stabilizer with Rancho (much beefier), put my sway bar back on with new Energy Suspension bushings after having it off for over a year and put my new to me aluminum skids on.

Ummm what does "feels like I'm riding on clouds" sound like?... sounds great to me! The DS bucket leans back & to the left on mine, maybe the previous owner was gravity challenged? lol

yea they are. only thing I wish they had was seat warmers... Not sure how hard they are to find. just look for a blazer that says trailblazer on the side. usually has zr2 rims with gold in them and a gold pin stripe

Pics of the aluminum skids would be nice. Are they diamond plate & shiney as all hell?

Get an aftermarket seat warmer/massager that plugs into the lighter/aux socket. Then you have the bonus of not sticking to the leather in the summer or freezing your assets off in the winter.

But with the factory seat warmers wouldn't there be extra or a different wiring harness?

& I know what Trail Blazers look like. I dispised them for the longest time because when I was searching for LED Tail Lights for my '02 all there was around were for Trail Blazers. Now there's more of a selection that are for Blazers.

And the front bearing hub assy's I got for $117 incl. ABS
