Got a receiver hitch from the pick a part from a 96 today (only 1 tube style and fortunately it was the only one not rotted away as well), gotta make the slightest notch my brackets though so it will line up with the holes correctly. Stupid minuscule difference...

What brand of rotor and cap did you order? I have 70k on my '03 and I am about it tear it down to check for condition, shouldn't be done at 70k?

Replaced the 98 grill with the more 'up to date' one. Still gotta color match it but just couldn't wait to get the old one out

Took a heat gun, old credit card, and goo gone and finally finished removing all the previous owners bumper stickers, which were not at all confined to the bumper.

Tibby what did you end up using on the rockers they look awesome man!! Also sorry for the hassle of those bolts but glad to see it worked for you.
I used Rustoleum truck bed coating on 'em. I did the rocker panels, door jams, and the chrome strip on the front bumper. Here are a few pics of all that.

And stuff happens man lol. I'm just glad I was able to get the bolts I needed.

(I know, I know. My driver's seat isn't gray lol. I have to get it dyed soon. I also have to bedliner my brushguard and grille again soon. They held up great, but have taken some abuse. Especially when I had to push a guys suburban with my guard. Might do tow hooks as well.)

My latest mod, a door chime swap. Instead of the annoying diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing! You get a nice pleasant ding! ding! ding! ding! ding! Much better imo. I swapped a '96 Pontiac Grand Prix door chime module in my '96 Chevy Blazer. A guy had a write up for 1st gen blazers (Shout out to RetroBlazer and his '91 Blazer that first had this idea!) and I just did it on my 2nd gen blazer. It is a little different from the 1st gen. The 2nd gen door chime module is located below the radio and to the left of the ash tray. If you still need help finding it, I have some pics. Also a video of what the new door chime sounds like.
