Today it was trying to get the grille off and the front headlights out that drew the blood. I like the idea of the clips that hold them in, except where the outer ones are placed under the fender.IllogicTC said:

Watching the ball joint project, I figured he had enough on his plate at the moment. I was pushing the TXBlazer LED inserts, starting his LED mod bug off gently. After he gets all of his functional stuff working properly, THEN I'll start feeding his LED mod bug more.dmanns67 said:LEDs FTW. Dont let Carlton hear your replacing incandescent bulbs with more incandescent bulbs
Damn. Did it fall out again?jimmyjam said:
Funny thing is.... Even though I'm a vendor for a business that sells Leds...I barely have any in my own vehicles lol.... The tb has switchbacks and Cree headlights (or rather will have them again once I finally send my old driver to Kevin... Keep forgetting to send it out...) And the Blazer has Rigid Duallys on the light bar...Blckshdw said:Watching the ball joint project, I figured he had enough on his plate at the moment.

Well, I think I put more of a bug there for you...Blckshdw said:Watching the ball joint project, I figured he had enough on his plate at the moment.

You are just slacking... A vendor who doesn't even use his own products...Darkrider_LS said:
Probably doesn't help that I haven't really had the time to figure out what bulbs I actually need for both suvs...djthumper said:
I really need to take the time to read through it lol... For the longest time I was concerned that going to leds in the interior would mess up the delayed interior lighting (think it's called theater lighting or something like that)djthumper said:

These are snake oil like throttle body spacers. Their claims have no basis in engineering or physics.

They were extensively discussed here just after the site started:

Literally a 36mm socket and a torque wrench that goes over 100 pounds (and one that can hit the little under 20 for two bolts) is all you need, everything else takes common-size stuff. Technically it'd be a 35mm for the stock axle but people say a 36 will work just fine and as a bonus work with some aftermarket axles that supply a slightly larger nut.Envoy_04 said:Man, do I wish I had time to get on here and hang out with y'all more often, been booked up with classes and work - looks like the entire summer's gonna go that way. Picked up a new idler pulley for Mom's Voy at NAPA this evening and popped it on when I got home, no more pretending it has a supercharger!
Also picked up a wheel bearing/hub assembly to replace the one on the driver's side - Dad just got new tires put on plus a line up and we were sure all the noise was the rough old tires, turns out some of was, but the bearing had a lot to do with it too. I guess that since Mom got it when it had 30,000 and now it has 121,000 and we've never had to replace one on it, that's a pretty good run.
Side note: Dad wants to take the thing to a friend (trusted, very competent GM mechanic who has his own place in addition to his job at the GM garage) to have the hub/bearing assembly put on. I've tried to tell him that it's no big deal and we can do it here and save enough money in labor to put on the front sway links that need replaced, but he seems set on having it done elsewhere. Am I crazy, or is it a fairly easy job?? Bear in mind he and I are both good with wrenches, plus I tear down golf cart engines as a job - surely the bearing would be a piece of cake!
