What did you do to your GMT today?

I just went through a 7 hour workout getting the fuel pump swapped.
For the record, I've done 1.4 thousand pumps in my life, but, with the exception of my pickup, they were all done with the convenience of a lift.
I figured I'd show the world how to wrastle the tank out and swap out the pump just like they'd be doing it in their driveway. Turns out, that f***ing sucks, big time.
MUCH respect to those who have done it in the driveway.

Took me two days to do mine - with a full tank of gas. Worst part is, it didnt even fix my issue
Everyday i think how less stressful life is now without that thing

Did mine in the drive way and it went great. Had very little fuel in it and it was done in a couple of hours.

Got her caught up on everything. Changed the oil, flushed the tranny, rotated the tires, replaced the fuel filter, and washed her.

I've been really happy with my Firestone Destination AT tires. They are 50,000 mile rated, I have 42,000 miles on them right now, and I don't see any way they'll be worn out in the next 8,000 miles unless they wear suddenly fast. Good road manners, decently quiet, good traction in all weather. I've been through a pretty crazy snowstorm with them and they did amazing. That was when they were practically new however, and we really haven't had a good snow since then, so I'm not entirely sure how they handle snow after a good 20k-30k miles of use.

Appreciate the incite.
One of the sets I was looking at was the Firestone AT tires. Looks like they have a pretty good rating on tirerack.
I'm also looking at the Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S, General Grabber HTS , and Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor (pending budget)
changed the oil in her today while she sits and waits for the adjuster from the tow company that tail whipped my drivers side

how about what i DIDN"T do to my TB today...
today i was in my tb, pulling out of a strip mall. pulled up to just before the sidewalk. a car makes a quick turn into where I'm pulling out of. there is a minivan behind her that stops short. behind the minivan is a truck with a 12' trailer that stops REALLY short, locks up the brakes, hops the curb to avoid rear-ending the minivan. tires screaming
. i'm seeing this in slow motion trying to slam it into reverse but i doubt there was time to get the trans to engage. the truck + trailer is now on the sidewalk/grass, misses me by INCHES. would have TOTALLED my trailblazer if it clipped me. Had I pulled up to the street, i'd be t-boned in the driver door and probably be badly hurt... wow...
Lesson learned, I am not driving my TB until carlisle! except to clean off the shit stain

David owes me DB consulting fees, and he likes buying tools, so problem solved
As far as what I did to my GMT today, test fitted a mirror mod. As you can see, the LEDs are too bright

Musta been before my time over there, since that doesn't ring any bells. But you're welcome all the same Ray! 
Todays project, install Spohn adjustable 4-link and panhard bar.
Here's the links
Panhard in, starting on driver side links
Everything's in and adjusted, axle is centered
Pinion angle looks a little off
Guna hit up my alignment guy to adjust pinion angle after I do the c-notch.
