So as the title suggests, where do you guys work on your Blazers?
I'm curious as to all the different places people work on their trucks. I personally try to do all the work to mine I can in my parent's garage. What about you guys?

Still better than nothing right?
I installed my stereo and a few other things in my dorm room parking lot. That was quite uncomfortable.

I'll have to take a picture of my garage when I finish organizing. I've just pulled everything on to the floor. Completely reorganizing it. Because I can't find anything.

I had to work on the side of the highway one. Wheel fell off. Every semi scared the crap out of me. They would not change lanes. And it was on the highway side I was working

I always try to do work on my unit at home in God's garage (as I don't have one) as I have a well stocked tool chest. I did opt to have it towed home when my wife called me to tell me it quit while driving,I suspected fuel pump and it was. When the alternator quit at 4am on my way to work,I charged the battery in our shop,ordered a new alternator from NAPA and drove it home where I swapped out the alternator. Similar issue with the water pump,I called my bro from work and asked him to go pick up a pump come to my work and follow me home. I did "borrow" the strap wrench from work that night to loosen the fan however...

all my trucks have always been to big to fit in the garage until my current s10, so much nicer to be in doors in the winter. depending on what im doing i can bring it to work and mess with it too. lifts and power tools make crap so much easier
