General Chat Chat about all things Blazer (and related vehicles). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

The LT lights are the next project, but what do you guys think? shade the original ambers or just the LT amber sections?

Liking the speaker work bench haha nothing better than the at home shops!
Sweet looking blazer!

How do you like the LED light strip, I was thinking about getting one for my first gen. How did it fit between the bumper and the gate? any issues when you open and close it?
I would just use it as a brake light personally, as I installed a 3rd brake light on my 3rd gen when it did not come with one (tapped into the wire off the brake light switch and ran it all the way back)

Works great, I suggest sealing it again when you get it tho, this was a cheapy for 30 dollars and got some condensation.. works great no issues with clearance

Just ordered two more ProComp lights to add near the door pillars similar to Gitch and a few others Also the engine degreaser is sitting doing its work on the motor as I type this!

Edit: Just ordered all new plugs, wires, cap, and rotor All Delco and Delphi of course except the wires. I went with MSD wires I hope this doesn't bite me in the a**!!

Today I only washed it. But within the past week or so I replaced all 4 tires, and did all 4 brakes.

Filled up the tank in prep for the journey tomorrow, 50.03 for 14.7 gallons. Also realized, that once it gets to blinky light there is about 5 gallons left in the tank... LOL

Well, I have the digital cluster, so when it gets low, part of the gas gauge starts to flash.
