basemodel67 · 05-30-2010, 12:41 AM

Not a dang thing.

I was on here all day, doing research. Does that count?

**JJorgensen52** · 05-30-2010, 12:57 AM

replaced my original 6 pin trailer harness with an RV 7 blade / 4 flat multiconnector and added a class III hitch

then I drove it around collecting thumbs up

wwotr · 05-30-2010, 01:27 AM

I strated it up and moved it 10' forward in the Garage, so my Wife could get to the Paint Supplies.
Then I moved it BACK!

FlounderGDI · 05-30-2010, 09:37 AM

I took my truck for a little drive and a mini photo shoot... and then to get lunch where it left me stranded at the local Smokehouse Parking Lot... $40 tow home and a lot of swearing at the distributor didn't do much to brighten my day... I've already replaced the Cap, Rotor, Module, and the Coil a few weeks ago... It ran fine since until yesterday when I just don't get any spark at all... so I'm pretty much at a loss here. I'm thinking it's time to go for the Gold and get myself one of those Skip White HEI's and hopefully be done with the issue.
Here are a couple of the Pics I shot... at least those turned out ok...

All the pics were taken with an iPhone Camera so quality isn't stellar... The first pics were taken with an app that gives it that Vintage look... Pretty Cool in my opinion...

Sinister · 05-30-2010, 01:48 PM

Put on a new front bumper today.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 05-30-2010, 05:01 PM

I started out the day by just wanting to change plugs and wires in the blazer and now its turning into a full engine compartment revitalization...Still not done just in on lunch break..

Painter D · 05-30-2010, 05:11 PM

Did more burnouts.

Shyguy · 05-30-2010, 06:27 PM

Helped my brother replace the front seal on the a/c compressor on his '95 4 by 4.

After we got the seal in we filled it with R-134 and it cooled great.

Before that I was building some shelves in my wife's sewing room.

**Palf70Step** · 05-30-2010, 06:31 PM

Something I have not done since Thanksgiving, touch it. I spent the day cleaning the shop up some, but hoping to get more hands-on this week while I am off.

darush01 · 05-30-2010, 06:49 PM

I primered in the fender and broke two ratchets trying to remove my broken trailing arms

trusty72 · 05-30-2010, 07:44 PM
