UPS brought my winch bumper kit this afternoon...

It's Lockable

When I bought the Blazer the owner didn't have a key for the back window, so after I found the part at LMC Truck I ordered one right away. Waited a week or so and the mail carrier brought the the new lock. I got right to work and installed it, put the tailgate back together and went to lock the window.
Sadly the lock came out in my hand... after taking the tailgate apart again I discovered that a little piece inside clutch called the pawl was broken and that the piece that holds the lock in place.

Back to LMC Truck and another week of waiting the new parts came in on a cold and rainy day, but today is beautiful and I had enough energy so I got it all fixed and I can now lock the back window...

        

Needed a Sexy Woman to give me a hand, but a couple of 2x4s worked well...

New Pawl, Spring, and Lock

New LED Headlights

Got the new LED headlights in this afternoon, super simple swap. Much brighter, so far I like them... Also finished installing the Light Bar. So Far I'm Happy with the setup.

Got the Autofeel 50 inch 288w Philips LED Light Bar Flood Spot Combo Beam today.

"Led Light Bar:1 year warranty,100% original high intensity PHILIPS led lamps, Durable aluminum housing, Unbreakable polycarbonate lens, stronger stainless brackets,shock-proof waterproof (IP67), 28800lm, More than 30,000 hour lifespan.

Spot/Flood Combo:our Spot optic projects light over great distances in a concentrated beam,This makes it perfect for high speeds and situations where you need extreme distance. Our Flood optic, while offering just over half the distance of the Spot version, provides twice the coverage area. When combined, The Spot and Flood optics provide the perfect combination of both distance and area.

Combination of Lens and Reflector:the compromise has wide beam pattern of a flood light while also offering the focused distance light you would get with the spot light.

Brightness: lights up the night like day! 50% brighter than normal one.

Easy to Wire & Mount: the aluminum alloy bracket is solid, fits securely, is flexible, and can be used for different lighting requirements. Wide operating voltage range: it can apply to different types of trucks, boats, cars, 4X4, ATV, 4WD, SUV, UTE."

I didn't want to drill holes in the roof and I will be driving in the woods and didn't want to take the chance of hitting low hanging limbs, Plus I have a really nice brush guard to use...

I need to do a little research before I drill a hole in the firewall so it's not wired up yet. I'm happy with the location and the way it looks...

One of the girls wanted to help...

Winch Bumper Kit

Found This Winch Bumper Kit on the "CUCV parts and vehicle classifieds"
Have been texting back and forth with the gentleman that put up the post. I feel that this is the I'm going to go...
I like the way it looks and I think it will be a fun project to build.

Blazer Wheels

Found these wheels on the Howell County Auto Parts, Thinking that they would work with a set of real off-road tires we went to look at them with cash in pocket... :-(
Someone had cut (I should say butchered) the center hole almost out to the stud/lug nut holes. I don't know what they used but it was horrible, and he didn't have the bolts for the bead lock rings so I would have to buy 128 bolts and nuts.
Well I did not buy them... did go for a nice ride in the country...
