Updated the look of the Jimmy a bit

[White2000LS]

So i got some parts off of a local S10 Guy for the Jimmy, including a non broken glove box, some new "ears" , rear ash trays and speaker covers, because mine are trashed

But heres some pics...

Before






After the factory "sport" Mirrors



I have no idea why that shot came out so angled, sorry forv the poor quality, cell phone is all i had

And of course, some extra money shots

I got lucky and was able to pry this logo off the broken glove box that came on the jimmy and swap it over to the one i got from the blazer. little bit of contact cement and you cant even tell thats not the original glove box. Hey, gotta keep it a Gypsy, right?



and of course the wonderful 4x4 under hood liner




once i get a better camera, i will be taking retarded amounts of pictures, camera phone doesnt do this thing justice as to how clean it still is


Little background on the Jimmy, I picked it up from a local S10forum member for 400 bucks. It is a 1988 GMC Gypsy 2.8L 4x4 LOADED with the factory Z71 Offroad package, factory sunroof, Optional Guage cluster with Tach. It is a Gypsy, and it is loaded to the hilt. Reason guy was selling it so cheap is because it had a blown motor. He had 4500.00+ in new parts with recepits on the thing.

Never heard of the factory Z71 package...

You are the first person i have met with a factory sunroof in 88, other then myself. Can you get me a pic of the switch?

Then its not factory. There is no such thing as a Z71 S-10 Blazer.

Oh and your underhood light is out.

[jtcfanof3]

You need to find these rare fender emblems,I found mine on EBAY and made it a toolbox trophie!

Anybody have the factory sunroof RPO code?My 89 Blazer has that basically same sunroof,down to the squares on the outer portion of the glass.
BTW,most 88 Blazer/Jimmys have the tach,mainly 86-88's got that tach,my 88 Blazer has one as well and so does one of my buddies 86 S-10 Ext cab.

Hello:The Off Road package &
The Tachometer
had to be ordered that way or you didn't get it.
It could be a Dealer, Sales Manager. Salesman,
or it could a promo, who did it?
But somebody did it.

Well every 88 Blazer cluster I have found(found alot!)and seen have had the tach,minus the plain jane packages.Musta been part of a Tahoe package.

[billythekid]

Musta been part of a Tahoe package.
It isn,t part of any package.
It is a stand alone Item, Like a radio.
have seen Forest Service Trucks with no
options, but with a Tach??? Weird

I have seen my share of 88's with tachs so........someone was ordering alot of them that year then!

[jtcfanof3]

Just for example,88 cluster on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/S-10-...spagenameZWD1V

[blazin14]

My 88 Tahoe has a tach

[White2000LS]

got some new picsss NOTE: this truck is a work in progress and is far from done.

[jtcfanof3]

I see a digital dash back there,and just so ya know,unless your changing the tranny,that cluster wont work,you have a cable driven speedo in that 88,so unless your updating it as well,you may be surprised when you remove your stock cluster.

[White2000LS]

yeah i know, got it for free along with the Drac Controller and the cluster plug dont know exactly what i want to do with it yet

[White2000LS]

So uhh Bumporino



Is it normal for the Jimmy to have really thick aluminum skid plates underneath bilstein shocks, and a front steering stabilizer shock?

[billythekid]

Yep: It is part of the Off/Road package

"How clean it is" with rusted lower drivers door, dented bumper and fender, blown motor?

[White2000LS]

the surface rust on the door? the easily replaceable bumper, or the motor thats getting replaced right now?

How about 0 underbody rot?
its a 20 year old truck. In my area any vehicle 20 years old with this many miles is a salt eaten wreck. What do you expect? gleaming immaculate paint and a perfect body?

Take your bullshit elsewhere fag and GTFO of my thread.

Yeah i wouldnt call surface rust, real rust. Rotted out Frame rails, floors and sidewalls = true rust. I wouldnt say Immaculate paint but it looks good.

[jtcfanof3]

Ya,I dont know anything about that!

Rust eaten salt eatn......what?
LOL
We all have to start somewhere!

It's a ****ing pile of shit. If you say it's "clean" then yes, I would expect good paint & and a rust free body. It's just another POS like any other.
