ooops the $117 was for both hubs... your ABS wasn't part of the hub bearing assy?
I have a '02 & the ABS is part of the bearing assy. (has the connection for the ABS on the hub) Engine is a late model (no EGR etc) but thats odd.
No wiring harness for the ABS?
ok, I'll put the beer down now lol

Not shiney nor diamond plate. Just the standard aluminum skids just like these, although my front skid has been trimmed and modded a bit to work with my winch mount:

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

I'm not even sure if the trailblazer additions even came with seat warmers I'm guessing the harness would probably be the same but I'm not sure

huh.......you'd think with the TrialBlazer package being so upscale, heated seats would be standard with that package.

Am I the only person in the world who gets a massive back ache from seat warmers? I tangled with 'em once on a 150 mile car ride driving my friend's explorer back from the beach. Ever go that far with your back tied in a pretzel and without ever touching the seat?

Regards,

Today I had enough of trying to scrounge center console parts for my 94. When I bought my right fender I noticed that the guy had a 97 with a console in it. After I went to look at it it was the same color as my interior. The console was in perfect condition and he only wanted $50.00 for it including the brackets. So it's upgrade time for the little pig. If anyone's interested I might do a DIY post with pictures. It looks pretty easy just the parcel tray (forward console) in the 94 has to go because the 97 goes all the way from the heater box to the same rear location as the old one. Gotta modify the floor outlets and relocate the lower power receptacle but it shouldn't be too bad. Then I can start looking for some Trailblazer seats.

Today I installed new wheel bearing hubs and new KYB shocks all around. I gotta say 43 degree is not as warm as it sounds when you have to work on your car outdoors.

I had to patch the passenger rear tire on my K5... Picked up a nail. Nothing a plug patch wouldn't cure!

And on the heated seats comment by TFisher... They do have an off switch. I think they are great on long trips. Heck, even my short trips to/from work in the winter are nicer with the heated seats in my Rainier. My Bravada and Bonneville both had them as well so I am hooked. I wouldn't mind putting heating elements in the K5 seats! (kidding... or am I??)
