filled it up (again!).

this thread should be "What do you put in your Blazer every 2 1/2 days?".

Does ripping the impact strip on the back bumper off count??

Started out as a decent day, Got my Black Widow Rack Basket from ups,took it inside, plowed the driveway and while unhooking the trailer from moving it around to plow, the latch on the tongue caught my Impact strip and tore it clean off!!!

Bought a pair of ZM6 rear leaf springs from a 98 Bravada with 112k miles on 'em. Picking them up tomorrow after work. Also, I got new leaf hadware; grade 8 front and back bolts and grade 8 9/16" u-bolts. I have a pair of bushing for both sides (since I was going to use them on my shackles) so now all I need is 2 more bushings and I can finally:
* Fix my saggy back end
* Upgrade from ZQ1 leafs to ZM6 (+capacity, +1 leaf, +0.46" lift!!!)
* Strap on my +2" shackles!

Oh yeah bought the wife a necklace with diamonds and flawed gems that were inperfectly formed in the Blazer today also. (They were trying to pass off shiney coal as: Black diamonds.... ) So now, what used to be thrown away, is being tacked on to good stones, and driving the price up! Hurray for the recession!

replaced my DS wiper.

found out on the way to work this morning, that the little strek i've been seeing for the last 2 wks was actually a 3" tear!

funny the things that pop up when you finally get some white stuff after a long dry spell.

just listening to the 11:30 weather report, Washington has gotten nailed by over 40" in the last 2 days. lucky bastards!

put a flowpro muffler on my 97 Bravada a few days ago, I cant handle loud raspyness, and this muffler has sure exceeded my expectations, its very low key, provides a little more spunk and im sure itll go well with my new intake whenever it arrives.

other than that its the stock piping to the stock exit for now, im trimming down my exhaust tip, and going to have it welded on soon which should turn up the sound just a tad... for a v6 its the closest v8 rumble i have heard yet
