Had the windshield tinted today and added a tint strip.

 

Off subject But when I was going thru the thread I saw where you changed out your headlights and fogs. Did you do all of them HID?

I put HIDs in for my headlights and LEDs for the foglights.

Do you like your set up? Can you tell a difference? Did you do highs and lows? Edited by TungstenZ71

Installed a Go Rhino bull bar with rigid Dually's, and T-Rex hood brackets with rigid D2's.

Yeah, you can definitely tell a difference. I like the color a lot better and the light output is better too. I went with 6k for both. The fogs are real bright. I haven't done the highs yet but I'll be going with LEDs for sure since HIDs take a bit to get to full brightness.

Thanks! I had my dad make em for me but I'm sure you can have a vinyl shop make em for you.

 

Do you think he could make a couple for my visors? I'd pay you for them and pay for shipping. Us brownstone metallic boys gotta help each other out :thumbs:. You can message me about it if you want.

He could but I bought very little chrome vinyl and he had the silver but it was the end of the silver. He and my grandpa are taking about closing the shop down... :(

Is your headliner black? How'd you manage that? The visors look sweet too!

Sorry to hear that they may close down the shop. I would buy whatever vinyl is needed, I'm just not sure of how its done and what would be needed to buy. If you could let me know the process and what needs to be bought and I would buy it all and mail it to you to get cut.

You'll need a small piece of silver or grey. That I can't help you on because he already had it and it matched pretty good. Just a 1 x 1 foot square would do or a 2x1 since they come in 2 foot rolls. Then get a longer piece of mirror chrome vinyl wrap. It didn't want to cut very good so he had to waste alot until he got it to work right

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • That computer lies!
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
