I'm sure someone would nominate you Alex, but I don't think you reach the minimum post count!!

Can't wait until you post up your super secret mods on your truck. And once you start posting on here again!

Accept. And will get a few pics in. Nothing too exciting about this ride except I resurrected it from the dead. Still not finished though. I will say the Gen 2 console looks pretty sweet. Here's what was done to this ride. It wouldn't run when I bought it and someone had hit it in the rear bumper. It does have a rear spare tire carrier with full size spare.
Fuel pump & FPR
Heartthrob cat-back exhaust system - sounds pretty nice with the turbo muffler
New catalytic converter & "Y" pipe
Fuel filter, spark plugs, tune-up & oil & filter change
A/C fixed - LP switch, blower motor relay & switch and repaired wiring
Digital dash swapped out with one from Digital Dash Solutions - everything works
Temp sender for gauge
New rear bumper, impact strip and filler panel and painted to match gray trim
Window motors, replaced broken clips and replaced three switches
Tires - Put stock 235/75/R15 Goodyear Wranglers on
Pioneer KEH-P2030 In Dash Cassette (yes a cassette deck - has XM and 12 disc CD changer controls to be added later)
Infinity 4X6 In dash and 5 1/4" in back doors
Removed t-case, resealed, installed with new rear trans mount and adapter gaskets
Replaced three U-joints during t-case repair
Brake light/cruise control release switch - was making ABS light come on above 15 mph
Oil cooler hoses and adapter gasket & "O" ring.
Upper radiator shroud
Power steering pump
Serpentine belt
Idler pulley
Brake hoses - old ones were collapsed inside making brakes drag
Right front caliper, new front pads and turned rotors
Brake hardware in rear brakes (drum)
Lift struts on rear glass - defroster in glass and wiper system (both work like a champ)
Repaired all interior lights and wiring
Battery
1997 Blazer center console install after painting to match interior and relocated second power outlet
Found it had RKE during console removal so purchased 2 key fobs and reprogrammed to truck

Prbably more stuff that I can't remember but for a 16 year old truck it runs and drives great. Everything now works on it and it's even legal (if you can pass inspection where I live you're doing pretty good - especially the emissions) Still got a little more to do on it. When I'm done I'm probably gonna have to sell it. Wife won't let me start on the Jimmy until I do. I told her we have enough driveway. What's the matter with people nowdays?
