Technically did nothing today...Picked up a new radiator I hope to get put in tomorrow and I ordered my PA BL kit today...Bummed to find out the kit comes with grade 5 zinc bolts..So I will be replacing all those with grade 8 when it comes in...

Default started front sway bar disco, and throttle body blade mod!

so i cut off the fin on my throttle body blade, i drive it on gravel mostly and every time i take off i spin the tires now lol, lots of low end torque and a lil hp gain only took me 10min.

I also started an easy front sway bar disconnect using a 3/8 5in bolt with a paddle nut and a lock tight washer my bushings crumbled when i took them off so im gonna wait til tomorrow to finish that project a whole lot more flex with the sway bad disconnected! Hoping that i wont need to drill hole through bolt and the lock tight washer will just keep it tight,

Yesterday was a busy day for my Blazer. Fixed an annoying exhaust leak (sounded like a tractor) got some 33x12.5.15 tires, took the subs, amps and box out of the back (getting ready for winter and daddy mode) put my rear view mirror back on, washed it, topped off the fluids... I think that's about it.

Built the box for the sub yesterday/last night. being drunk slowed down the process. All I have to do today is cut the hole for the sub, mount it and see how it sounds. Then all I have to do is take the sub back out and wrap it or paint it, have not decided on which one I want to do yet

Drove it 2 hours to hang with my friends for the night. (got 21.5 mpg) Then got a call saying I have a new job as a courier, so the Wild Thing is now a medical courier vehicle That is until I buy small car. Its 1000 miles a week so Ill be racking up the miles. Had a fun time driving and was pleasently suprised on the high mpg.
