Got the truck "trail ready". Heading out to Hidden Falls Off Road Park today. Lots O rain last night, 2100 acres and 200 miles of trails to explore. First rain in months, place should be jumpin...

 

Sprayed some rust inhibitor and undercoating underneath the blazer. Fixing to test the MAP sensor on it.

 

another coat of primer on the fender, should be putting some paint on it this week, if I am able to get the week off from work.

 

Made some mudflaps for the 96 today, had the patterns from where i made a set for the 97 a few years ago. Added 5" in length to all 4, cut them out of semi-trailer flaps, cheap and very durable, could outlast the truck!

 

Installed new swaybar bushings

 

put 300 miles on it going camping in VT. got 18 mpg on the highway! Iguess the new 8mm wires and super coil helped a bit

 

I replaced the upper radiator hose on the wife's 2000 Blazer. It had weakened and started leaking where it crosses the EGR tube. Fortunately my wife spotted the problem right away and went straight home and shut the truck off.

 

Hey, hats off to your wife for catching something like that.

 

This was the last 2 hours of my life lol!

If you notice they say Asia-Spec so they aren't for the Blazer but the Murano rather First time ever doing them and I would have saved myself had I not first forgot to put the dust shield back on and then had I put in on the right direction when I did finally get it on there lol! Its a pain cause it sits behind the hub assy rather than being bolted onto it or held on with the caliper mounts like the Blazer. Owell overall it wasn't a bad job at all and its so much nicer not feeling like there is a damn lion in the car with you lol!

I also opted to not purchase the new addition for the Blazer just yet because I would rather use the money to get my Argon tank filled and back.

 

Went and looked at this zr2, might be picking it up!
