repaired the smashed grill.

had chrome,bought black. i like it

 

Just ordered the soldering iron...Thanks. Got rid of my circa 1987 iron that had a 50/50 chance of actually melting solder. Greater odds on a hot day.

 

nothing

 

I turned my rotors. They needed it badly, it was starting to crest grooves where the break pads sit.

I also changed out my factory Bilstein shocks with Rancho... Man there is a huge difference. My blazer is handling much better.

I've been having a lot going on with my truck, I'm debating starting a build thread with all that I have already done, and with the more that I plan to do...

Oh yeah, I also found out that I have some kind of nasty leak of some random fluid coming from some undisclosed location. I'm thinking and hoping that it is break fluid from when I slightly over filled the reservoir.

 

I am curious on why you turned them instead of replacing? These days it is more cost effective to replace than it is to turn/resurface.

 

Wrestling with 4wd. Have a vacuum up top. Replaced actuator last fall. Put in new vac switch and new line from source to switch. Next will replace line to actuator. Transfer case works, And can hear tccm working. If new line to actuator doesnt work I`m putting in a cable

 

Skip the headache and go cable now you won't regret it!!

 

Well, I tend to buy "performance parts" that cost more money than the usual cheap replacements. The rotors I have on now are much thicker than standard replacements to allow multiple turns instead of whole replacement. (Along with other benefits such as less warping) I went this route because a new set of cheap rotors cost ~35, but need to be replaced along with your brakes. The set I bought were ~50, and can be turned 2-4 times before being too thin to replace.

 

yeah I know, would ve been done 2 days ago! Its like a mission now.

 

I put on some friggin lawn edging fender flairs the other day, it only cost me 5 bucks and looks decent.
