Just bought a Pioneer double din touch screen and a ddin bezel. Bought a pair of Alpine 6 1/2 componant speakers and heading back to buy a 300watt alpine 4ch amp. With all you guys (esp Alton) help around here I think its gound to be an easy install

Dont feel bad Garbage trucks are the most heaviest trucks around. They are always over loaded.

You have a better chance pulling a semi with a loaded trailer.

I know tell me about it:P It was worse because it was literally stuck on what seemed like nothing, thats what happens when only one of the rear axles gets power and those are the wheels that are slightly suspended in the air

I wish I didnt have my camera or phone with me! Although it would be a pretty ridiculous picture.

And Yes, new tires for next year, 33's when you come help me put on a body lift this summer! I was trying to figure it out, I think the tires only have about 100,000km on them I should be good for at least another 20 years right?

2001 2Dr 4WD, bought it new $21K and has 110k miles on it now. I'm replacing upper & lower control arms, CVs, and hubs. I collected the parts over the past 3 years after I noticed the CVs leaking. Had to add caliber mounting brackets, 1 rotor, pads, and stabilizer bar bushings to the mix. Total parts cost me about $700. I got one side done this past weekend and will start on the driver side tomorrow. I paid out the nose for an oil cooler pipe at the dealer today, $88, but at least I'll stop the only oil leak. A few years ago I did the upper & lower intake manifold gasket replacement that worked out very well.

Does anyone know where I can get rear axle bumpers called secondary springs? Dealer says they're discontinued.

Thanks to this Blazer Forum for the great tips I can find here to help me along.
