Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Everyone is way ahead of me, finally found time to pull the Battery out and charge it to see if it is any good, bought my 16 year old daughter a 93 Blazer for Christmas so I guess mine will go farther on the back burner! Hope to get the Rocker panels ordered and start the install on those this year. Anybody have a good link to a how to thread on those?

Was holding out for some original buckets but got a good deal on some Tahoe buckets. Got them installed yesterday.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Looks pretty nice. I think I'll be getting the same when I get to
My interior resto. |
Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Bought a new battery. Hopefully this cures the latest dead battery issue.

Got some parts back from coating: zinc plated, turned out excellent. They look new. You can read the date code etc. on the clamps.
Hat's off to members 72K5CSTDarkOlive and Ironcanine for calling my attention to this process, which restores the original finish. Thank you! |
Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Wow! I didn't know about this. My struts could use this treatment. Point me in the right direction, Pete.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
The parts looks even better in person! Those little springs in the struts look great. I dropped off a pile of greasy parts (struts, riser, hatch strikers, clamps, bolts) that I did not prep or clean in any way to Kaehr Coatings in Albuquerque on a recent visit: http://www.kaehr.com/index.cfm
They have a minimum charge of $135 IIRC, which is what I paid plus return shipping cost. This is a great way to go. Kaehr also does phosphate coating (Parkerizing) for door strikersm body bolts, hinges, etc., which also return looking new. |

Sweet. I also wanted to get my tow hooks parkerised as well. Looks like a one stop shop. I'll be contacting them as soon as I'm ready.

The PO installed aftermarket clear marker lenses. I found some really nice OEM Amber marker lenses and OEM screws on this forum. I love this place! Looks way better. Like it should. The little things that make us happy. Lol.
On it's way is an OEM blue Bowtie grill emblem. Mine has faded to clear. |

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
I'm putting in a new ignition switch. The wire that comes from the Voltage Regulator then goes into the back of the fuse panel connects to the switch but I can't find where it comes out of fuse panel.
Anyone know what color wire it is. I have a brown/white stripe wire that is one small silver wire that isn't connected to anything and looks like it was connected to old ignition switch. My new ignition switch plug has pink wire, double red wires, purple wire, double green wires, double brown wires. Have all but alternator wire figured out. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Worked all weekend trying to finish up my Accuair Elevel install. All that's left is powering compressors and the rocker switch to hook up. Should be done with it in the next couple of days. I hate electrical so I called it a night.

This took some time but thought I would share. Got new front wheel bearings, seals, and brake pads and installed them. I got so tired of "life time warenty" alternators from Napa dieing on me every 4-6 months and ordered a power master 110 amp alternator. Also installed a 3 core Champion aluminum radiator and dual 14" electric fans. Also put new MSD street fire distributor, 8.5 mm wires, Weiand Stelth intake, and Edelbrock carb. Just thought I would share for thought provoking or motivation 👍

In the past week I installed a 72 shell with billet grille (kept the 69 bumper), updated halogen headlights with integrated blinkers/running lights, and made a old-school style front push bar for the 72. Added some Hella 700FF lights wired to the bright circuit via relay.
