Well, it wasn't today but, this weekend and I don't have pics YET but:

Added Havoc HS2 Steps, Truxedo Pro15X Tonneau & WeatherTech Mudflaps...

 

Today I'm going to try to get under the truck and remove the front air dam..


Future plans,

I found a local guy who wants to swap his center console for my jump seat.

Would like to swap in a chrome grille for a look similar to the high country front end.

Front window tint.

Paint protection film on the front end maybe...

Have you looked at what it would take to get the cameras working correctly if swapping to tow mirrors? Thanks

We already offer a solution to that on the website :)

installed the Amp Research manual override switch for the Power Steps. I think it came out pretty good.  Called for a 3/4" drill bit and biggest I have is 1/2" so I made it work lol.

Been contemplating this switch but I get too much joy from yelling at my girlfriend to step on the step so it won’t retract when she shuts the door [emoji23]

Seriously abridged version:

 

Bought truck in early July from dealer in a state I'm not a resident of. Took possession of truck on July 31. Dealership sat on registration and titling paperwork until September (confirmed by state agency that handles the paperwork. Bank is now threatening to increase my interest rate on my loan because they don't have the titling info. I've also had to call the dealership for new temporary tags monthly. I'm now in another state. My state of residency returned paperwork to dealer last week because they didn't submit the forms I gave them in early July. Dealership told me I need to get a VIN verification completed. I've done this in other states before and know it takes a police officer a maximum of 2 minutes to complete. Utah says any police officer anywhere in the country can do this. California police officers say they can't. First police station sent to another, who sent me to another, and so on until I found out at the 5th one I need to schedule an appointment with DMV to get a police officer to sign a form (California once again finding ways to complicated things that don't need to be complicated). Later found out a military police officer can handle the VIN verification and sign the form. This whole ordeal took majority of the day. Hopefully I'll have permanent license plates by Thanksgiving.

I just went over all that is offered on your web site and didn't see anything mentioning that you are able to get the camera's to work properly when swapped from regular to the tow mirrors on a 2019 model.   I do like the fact that the tap to pass can be lengthened.  To me three blinks just isn't enough but when my trailer is hooked up it does 6 I think which is perfect.  If you can get the camera's to work properly then it looks like I'm going to be getting a set of tow mirrors. :)

That’s the custom VPM programming.

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • 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.
