Put some clear turn signals on my truck looks way better than the amber and no chrome.

I finished up my major suspension work on the '98 Jimmy. I had my local shop press the control arm bushings in for me. I picked them up at 3:30 in the afternoon. I reassembled everything and was done by 2am. In addition to the control arm bushings I replaced the torsion bar crossmember mounts, all four shocks, sway bar bushings, and end links. It was a long job and I got a lot of grit in my hair. Now I'll have a hot shower and go to bed content with the knowledge that I'm keeping another great truck on the road.

Replaced the CV axles, wheel hub bearings, knuckle seals, front shocks, all the ball joints and took it in for a front end alignment.

Today I did nothing but set up a time to hang out with my buddy and get the Alpine type R off of him.

I replaced a lower control arm with ball joint and a tie rod end on the wifes mustang yesterday I really hate fords and their stupid engineers!! When I was finished I took it to my friends at the Porsche shop and they threw it on the alignment table and now its perfect!! They charged me zero dollars so that was a big win!! As for the blazer the wife is still driving it and I'm in the idea and part gathering process. I talked to the inspection and emissions guy when I took the mustang back for reisnpection about motor swap and sas compliance and he said just do it and bring it to him and I will pass lol! So thats one huge worry off my back

New tires, upper and lower ball joints and outer tie rod on the driver's side.







Fenders will definitely need to be trimmed.

I honestly can not wait until Sunday. This Power acoustic has been a great sub, has literally taken a serious beating and has not missed a beat, even being over powered. But I need more. So the 4th Gen Alpine type R 12 for 100$ will suit my needs well. Dual 2 ohm voice coils which will pull 1000wrms from the amp, I can do with that. Its always said, once you build a system, it will no longer be enough, and you will want more. I think once I get this, and the JBL components, It will be plenty.
