Default What I've been up to...

Okay, so I've been neglecting my blazer over the past few months due to a Jeep project I took on, but I've managed to do a few mods here and there.

I swapped all the factory lights out of the gauge cluster, HVAC, dome lights and the door controls from LED Lights, Bulbs & LED Lighting Accessories - SUPER BRIGHT LEDS







Decided to build myself a light for the center console. Wired it into the cigarette lighter.





And the switch for it.


After months of listening to my amp rattle on the top of my sub box, I decided to move it to a more practical (and safe) location.




Welded in a Flowmaster 40 series and a 2.5in tip


Ordered a CAI from ChromeIntakes on Ebay, threw their air filter away, replaced with a K&N and built a custom heat shield out of scrap metal. I absolutely love it! Only paid $35 for it with free shipping.


Busted out the Plasti-Dip and painted up my front end.



Love this view





Had some scrap metal left laying around from Jeep project so built up a spare tire carrier that goes into my receiver hitch, its also on a hinge so i can open the tail gate.



And last but not least, I installed an overhead display. Went from having nothing to a complete with a compass and thermostat and range, MPG and all that jazz. I am thinking about doing a complete write up on how i did it later on, what're you guys think?

(Yeah I know I need to calibrate my compass lol)

Well that's all I have so far...
Next to come, small 2in lift, some 31's, big 3, and some new suspension.
All input is appreciate.

Thanks guys!

Yeah it seems as though we are lacking in a good write up on that particular subject. It would definitely be useful for those looking to do it in the future.

Mileage and trip? No. Compass and temp? Maybe. You'd at the very least need the sensors for the comp. and temp. but I have no idea how much is controlled by the BCM (if any) and how much is just sensor input into the DIC comp.
