Just got back from getting an inspection. Failed... Knew I would though! Just did it to see what it would take to pass. Just need new front brakes and wheel bearings. Woo. I thought there'd be more. Just ordered the brakes. Hubs/Bearings should be here today.

 

today i stopped off at the local offroad shop since im in need of a new driveshaft for the rear. right now im driving around on a jerry rigged driveshaft with washers used as spacers so the yoke straps get some grip on the caps. couldnt get a conversion joint on the count of the driveshaft yoke being something rediculious. anyways 300 for a new driveshaft or im gonnna shop around. see if i can find one for any cheaper.

 

 

Wow I'm dumb lol

 

Remember those tires I had put on the Jimmy yesterday? I left home to drive into Tacoma and got as far as the bottom of the hill in front of my house and the left rear tire was flat. I called my brother-in-law and he came and picked me up and ran me up to the shop where I grabbed my three-ton floor jack, a 19mm socket, a big ratchet, and a spare tire. I changed the tire down at the bottom of the hill and got back on the road.

 

I'm jelly, that's the one component my sound system lacks right now. I miss the deep vibes you can only get from a sub.

 

Started rubbing my wheels down with some 000 steel wool, they had some corrosion from spraying "Hot Rims" on them when I first got my blazer.

 

Mounted my HighLift Jack.

 

I was thinking about mounting a hi-lift jack on my Blazer, but then I started thinking...what would I use it for.

 

Got the body bushings, and voltage regulators in the mail today. Now all I need is the floor pans and the drivers upper cab mount then I can get the cab mounts fixed.
