Whats up Atlantic Canada?

...and yet another reason to lower your banana.

The Rangers may be the ones built by Friendz in Low Places, they have been selling for cheap on Kijiji lately.

I finally got to ordering new parts for the truck. Had to get a new front wheel hub assembly. I ordered a CAI which should be here this week, and also all new blue LEDs for the interior lighting. I'm ordering a glasspack for it shortly.
You got any pics of that new xtreme kit you got on it? I haven't seen your truck since the show. Where did you get your headlights?

Don't have the kit on yet still waiting for brackets, could use 3M but I'm picky and want it done right.I'll have pics up soon as something goes on. Got the headlights (Carbon fiber Projector) from ebay.

Always a reason to lower the banana, it's definitly the Friendz in Low Places group I seen them going lately too.

BeyondeXtReMe · 09-30-2009, 03:18 PM

180 thats crazy, is it brand new? is it the oen one? cuz they're like $1200 from stealerships around here

Oh yeah it's OEM and brand new with the part numbers stamped and s10, blazer stamped on the inside. Trust me I almost shit my pants when buddy told how much. That's why I'm in the process of scooping up a couple kits.

What do you think would be a good price to ask for the kit.

BeyondeXtReMe · 10-03-2009, 12:50 PM

hmm I should talk to you about getting a spare

Sisk · 10-05-2009, 09:40 AM

Got my gauges switched over to blue LED on the weekend. Just waiting for the other bulbs to arrive so I can do my HVAC and other lighting.

Ignore all the lights on my dash. Lots of sensors gone in my truck lol.

I was gunna pull the bulbs for all of them, but I know exactly what each light is...so I figured it would be better to work towards fixing the issues lol.

whosbad · 10-05-2009, 07:45 PM

I pulled my ABS light cuz the cables always got wrecked and man was it loud when it worked, and the shift bulb cuz it wanted me in 5th to do 60 km.

Looks good, I have the OBDII scanner if you want to clear them. I also had to pull the ABS fuse cause it would make this weird pulsating noise under normal braking conditions, and would lock the back tires up in the rain. Works perfect after pulling the fuse but the lights is always on.

Thanks man, but I have access to a scanner too. My buddy works at Macphee Pontiac, so I can get them cleared anytime. There's no point tho, they keep coming back. My engine light is my MAF sensor, and my ABS fuse is also pulled (which throws on the ABS and brake warning light). I had the same problem as you with locking up and funny noises. I figure it's my wheel speed sensor on my driver side (passenger side is brand new). I will be needing a new hub assembly eventually, so I'm just going to wait til then to fire the fuse back in. Service 4wd is because I don't have an encoder motor or front driveshaft in it right now lol. A connector to the encoder motor was all corroded, so I'm just working on getting it re-pinned now. Hope to have the 4x4 fixed for winter.

All of my 12v LEDs came last night. They're replacing the lighting on the dimer switch, steering wheel controls, door controls, 4x4 control and rear wiper control. I have a feeling they're going to be a pain too since they have to be soldered on. I'll post up pics whenever they're done. I'm also gunna pick up a deck soon to match all the new lighting. Can't have all blue lighting with a stock delco deck

KennyR · 10-06-2009, 03:19 PM

Hey everyone, some nice looking rides here in the maritimes. I'm building a 1993 s10 now, a long way to go, but i'm getting there. I'll keep checking back. i'll post picks as i go along.

Kenny

Sisk · 10-06-2009, 03:30 PM

Hey Kenny...Welcome. Good to see more Nova Scotians on here.
Got an pics of your truck as it is now?

whosbad · 10-06-2009, 08:15 PM

Hey Kenny, I was wondering if you knew Scott MacLean from up that way. He has/had a really nice red and black Xtreme, been a few years since I spoke with him.

KennyR · 10-07-2009, 07:31 AM

Hey, i know Scott, haven't seen him in quite along time, it had a very nice extreme. I have some progress pics, first day pics and now pics, i'll post them, a ways to go yet, but getting there. I'll post more as soon as i get them.

Kenny

KennyR · 10-07-2009, 08:00 AM

oops, here are the pics.

Sisk · 10-07-2009, 08:46 AM

Nice looking parts of a truck you got there...lol. The frame looks good all painted up though. Looks like a good project.

KennyR · 10-07-2009, 11:24 AM

Thanks, it is a good project, working on the cab now, 2 new sills in, 2 cab corners to go in. I'm blasting it and painting the inside next.
I'm trying to source out new tach, speedo, oil, water, volt, fuel and boost guages. I have to re-build the dash, changing it alot from factory to house the guages i need.

Hmm does that scanner work for toyotas too? I know some of them are universal... cuz i need a code cleared on my dd

As far as I know it is universal for any OBDII, your welcome to try if you want. Just let me know I'll stop by or something.

SONOMAZRX · 10-10-2009, 06:49 PM

Also welcome to the site Kenny

Sisk · 10-10-2009, 09:02 PM

Tinted my lights today. They turned out awesome. Also got a cherry bomb installed the other night. Sounds pretty good.

Installed my filter that night too. Thought I had posted pics of it, but apparently not..

SONOMAZRX · 10-11-2009, 04:37 AM

Everything looks good, but the tail lights look like they need to be cleared, or is it flat on purpose

Sisk · 10-11-2009, 08:44 AM

Quote: Originally Posted by SONOMAZRX

lol...that seems to be the consensus on GM truck forum too. The tint comes out flat naturally. I could have thrown a coat or two of clear on them, but I really like the flat look. It fits in well with the flat tire carrier and the flatish window trim (it's pretty faded). Normally I don't like the flat look unless it's on a flat painted vehicle, but for some reason I really like the look of mine.
We'll see though...I may clear them. It's an easy thing to do if need be.

If you like it then keep it, I think it looks fine just wasn't sure if it was intentional

Yeah, it was. Although looking at it in the sunlight I may end up clearing them after all. They're a bit patchy. But that will be something I'll look at when I paint my rims and grille next weekend.

Sisk · 10-18-2009, 06:56 PM

More updates...got the rims and grille painted today. They turned out really good...

yellonoma_ss · 10-21-2009, 08:47 AM

Seen the Blazer crossing over the MacKay Bridge, it sure sticks out now. Looks good all blacked out.

whosbad · 10-21-2009, 09:19 AM

Any thoughts of doing the chrome bumper and grille strip on the front in satin black?

My truck stands out much more with the monochrome grille versus the chrome...and I didn't have to paint it like a banana.

Sisk · 10-21-2009, 12:16 PM

Thanks man..lol, I saw you too the other day. Didn't have a chance to get my window down to wave though lol. At least my truck is a bit more noticeable now.

And Barry...I was actually planning on painting the chrome when I did my grille. I'm not a big fan of chrome, and I've seen a lot of painted front ends on blazer's I really like. For some reason though I think the chrome fits in on my truck with the whole blue and black theme. I think doing it all black would darken the front end too much. I may paint the lower chrome piece though (the top of the actual bumper) and leave the bowtie bar chrome...just to keep some division in all the black up front.

whosbad · 10-21-2009, 11:27 PM

Just an idea...btw, fix your headlights before the forum police find you.

tt85_GM · 10-21-2009, 11:56 PM

they know, i allready told them.

BeyondeXtReMe · 10-22-2009, 07:35 AM

hahaha I did that last night. I was waiting for someone to say something about it

. No one over on Blazer forum noticed it..leave it to you guys lol.

SONOMAZRX · 10-22-2009, 11:51 AM

I'll have some treats to post for you guys here in a couple weeks, soon as I put the truck to bed for the winter. Got alot of parts to go on

Barry.. before you know it you will be driving a banana too...

I agree, the grill chrome will look good left and painting bumper chrome will make it look more agressive on the ol' blazer.

Not unless I paint the rest of the truck satin black and I am trying to represent an old rotten banana.

I still think the grille would look great blacked out.

Sisk · 10-22-2009, 04:01 PM

Are you talking about ALL blacked out? Bowtie included? I think that would be too bland...everything being black

. Like I said though, I may paint that chrome piece on the bumper to be black...it would lessen the chrome. Maybe I'll photoshop it to see what it would look like all black..but I don't think I'd like it at all.

whosbad · 10-22-2009, 09:08 PM

Yup, all the chrome should be satin black. Maybe do something with the bowtie? Blue?
Here's mine all blacked out...

Sisk · 10-22-2009, 09:47 PM

Hmmm...it's a thought. Looking at mine I think I'll definitely paint the chrome on the bumper black. I'm undecided about the bowtie bar though.

And yellownoma...driving across the bridge today I noticed you had what looked like LED light bars for driving lights on the front. Those new?

yellonoma_ss · 10-23-2009, 12:24 PM

Yeah I had to get something to pass safety inspection this month because I converted the headlights to H4's running directly off the battery (w/relay), which means no more drl's. I still can't figure out how much I like them, I've had them on for a few weeks working out some bugs (bad grounds), there bright as hell at night, hidden under the grill when there off, and visible during the day. I'll take a pic soon.

BeyondeXtReMe · 10-23-2009, 04:08 PM

sounds cool, I wired PIAA 'driving' highbeams in my fog light position and put silver stars in my lows/highs, I have projectors and did the quad headlight relay swap... LOL it's real bright!

Sisk · 10-24-2009, 07:09 PM

They looked really good man. I'd like to see some pics of them though, didn't get that good a look as you passed.

Big Pappa · 10-25-2009, 08:26 PM

hey guys
Thought i'd pipe up From Moncton: heres a crappy pic of my blazer

Sisk · 10-26-2009, 09:06 AM

Welcome Pappa!
Not a bad looking Blazer. I like the flat black. If you're into the whole forum thing head on over to www.blazerforum.com. It's a great forum too.

Also got a cherry bomb installed the other night. Sounds pretty good. Installed my filter that night too. Thought I had posted pics of it, but apparently not..

The tint comes out flat naturally. I could have thrown a coat or two of clear on them, but I really like the flat look. It fits in well with the flat tire carrier and the flatish window trim (it's pretty faded). Normally I don't like the flat look unless it's on a flat painted vehicle, but for some reason I really like the look of mine. We'll see though...I may clear them. It's an easy thing to do if need be.

Although looking at it in the sunlight I may end up clearing them after all. They're a bit patchy. But that will be something I'll look at when I paint my rims and grille next weekend.

Any thoughts of doing the chrome bumper and grille strip on the front in satin black? My truck stands out much more with the monochrome grille versus the chrome...and I didn't have to paint it like a banana. Last edited by whosbad : 10-21-2009 at 09:24 AM.

Didn't have a chance to get my window down to wave though lol. At least my truck is a bit more noticeable now. And Barry...I was actually planning on painting the chrome when I did my grille. I'm not a big fan of chrome, and I've seen a lot of painted front ends on blazer's I really like. For some reason though I think the chrome fits in on my truck with the whole blue and black theme. I think doing it all black would darken the front end too much. I may paint the lower chrome piece though (the top of the actual bumper) and leave the bowtie bar chrome...just to keep some division in all the black up front.
