Just finished up my Efans! Here's a peek the rest will come tomorrow in my build thread.

Factory shroud trimmed and reinstalled

I've still got some more to do as far as cleaning up wiring and I'm going to fab up an aluminum rad and fan holder but its functioning on low when temp is reached or high if the ac is on so I'm happy.

Replaced the driving lights I crunched while muddN last week and put on a roof basket.

Didn't do anything too exciting today. Drove it for the first time in a week and I got new insurance for it. (Hence, the reason it sat for a week.) Tomorrow after work, I will be taking off my receiver hitch. I won't do any hauling with it, so no need to have it.

Put a new 4x4 actuator in and put some rocker guard on the bottom and lower side of the truck, I will be putting a new vacuum switch in soon.

No worries... They would certainly be more appropriate on a lowered truck but I still think they're a huge improvement over stock headlights, both in looks and performance. There are other aftermarket lights that are way better lookN than these but these were what I could afford. I do like em and they definately turn heads.

so many projects so little time.
Wow safe to say it has been a while!!

Don't really have to worry about much with a fully bedlinered truck eh?

Gave the blazer a face lift and added wheels spacers! You will have to go to my build thread if you care to see pics

Man theese things are money pits. I threw about $700 into it in a few days period. Inner and outter tie rods($80), two new upper control arms ($250), labor plus an alignment for it all, $370. Only to drive about 30 miles and have my freakin caliper bracket bolt fly off and cause me to loose breaks and get stranded in BFE while waiting for progressive to find a towing company to help me. Freakin caliper messed up my rim! ={={={={
