Brakes

Replaced the rotors pads and calipers on all four wheels. Oh and I replaced the upper ball joints. Since it's still on axle stands I'll do an oil change and coolant change on the weekend.

You know you love your Blazer when you'd rather spend $600.00 on new tools and parts to fix something yourself rather than pay the garage $250.00 to do it.
