I picked up everything on Amazon for $117.20. The wires were $48.24 and the plugs were $33.18 for all 6.

Well, I got the door panels cut and fixed, and both rear door speakers in, what a difference.

Well,Ive done nothing to mine. BUT i did replace lower pressed in balljoints for my first time (always used new control arms to avoid this) but to find out it was easy as hell. Once i figured out how to use the press clamp,i had the old one out and new one in,in 5 minutes,i thought it was kinda fun since ive never done it. I wanna do mine now for the heck of it.

Haven't done much at all lately. Cleaned and oiled my air filter, changed my cb antenna from the back left to the back right of the blaze and added a tennis ball so it wouldn't hit the body of the truck. Now I can actually go through a drive thru without the person working there flipping out. I also just sold my massive sound system in the back. 2 12s pushing 600 watt rms and the amp with it. Got the money and turned it around and bought a sub, vented enclosure, and amp off Amazon. My aim for the second go around was to get a much smaller system that was a bit less powerful. I wanted some cargo space back but I still wanted the low end to be in my sound system. That's it for now. Sometime soon I need to sand down the frame and bedliner it. It is starting to look a little... rough...

If you were a few hundred miles closer I could hook you up with rebuilt long block.
I had an engine blow up on me a couple of years ago but it had high miles and had been abused.

Found out one of my tires was at 20 PSI last night, filled it today, installed a UV dome light.

Started working on a switch control panel for my signal lights. I'm making something to go into the void beneath the aftermarket radio I have, so there isn't that big hole there. So my head and tail light flashers will be hooked into it (they're hooked up now, but the switches are located left of the steering wheel), as well as lights I plan on adding in the future.

Well I have some catching up to do, I changed my oil and replaced my cone filter (WAY overdo see picture) Then I installed my college graduation present from my parents; a 4.3" Double Din touch Screen stereo. I had to buy a double din dash off of ebay since I had the 1.5 Din, installed back up camera and grounded the parking brake wire. Everything is installed and clean. But the dash I bought was tan and my interior is charcoal so I still have to paint that. Only the only other thing that happened was I lost my valance on the highway (oops) so my front bumper looks a little funky for now.

Last weekend I took her down to my girlfriends river cabin. love driving those country back roads!
Lil Dirty...


Finishing up the stereo/backup camera install


My two loves: My Girlfriend and My Blazer (at the river Cabin)
