^^listen to him he knows what he's talking about lol.

On my 98 it's a little different but instead of reusing the old pin I welded in a new bolt. I added a bushing and now they close perfect. I don't know if you can do the same on yours but you may be able to buy new factory bushings since you're are 22 years old and probably quite worn

Ok. Well damn I'm in the money then. No sagging, wires already have a connector. I don't have a reason not to. Lol

I alreay have one blazer tire carrier to make a tube door out of. There's plenty at the JY ($15) tube doors!

I only want tubes because police around here seem like they would jump on you for that.

What year blazers? I should look into that. I haven't done my door mod yet because I'm lazy lol, also I'm trying to work out the door sensors so my lights don't stay on.

You're falling behind man in all finished up front and with a high of 70 all next week I'm pretty excited. Oh got me some mirrors too.

For the interior lights just unscrew the switch the doors hit when closed on the body and remove the connector. You may have a small black connector by your other wires that when unplugged do the exact same thing

I went with these. Only problem I see with you is I had to drill out my home for the bushing and in turn the mirrors fit snug. They probably won't fit in your home unless you make a mount

The door opens and shuts level now. SWMBO was suitably impressed.

Kudos ODGreen!

Miller time!



...and this combo might also be used for the oil filter adapter per the previous discussion? And no welding necessary!
That'll break that gear wrench... I used a standard one and did that once I got the bolt broken loose.

ZJ plugs are that much easier

Lol I've never been pulled over for no mirrors.

I plan on doing a write up in my build on Thursday or Saturday if I have time.

I was lucky I got mine. If I couldn't have, would have gone with trailer plugs.

lol weather's been way too ****ty here for me to care enough. Last few week's been in the upper 40's and rain/snow every now and then. Been finding it more entertaining to take the motorcycle out.
