    Here she is. Sorry that the pic isn't the best but there has been a lot of snow so I took some in the garage but this was the only pick that came out good due to the lighting. I would like to post some better ones when it warms up.

    Hey guys. Sorry its been such a long time, but work has been sheer madness. Good news is I got my SS front end painted and installed, ill post pictures soon. I have my old front end I want to sell. Whats a fair price for a used front end from 02 LT? Theres no cracks in it and looks new.

    Im currently in the same boat/traiblazer. My gauge is 2 notches under 210. When I replace the T-stat, you guys are saying dont use AC-delco but use something else. What are really good brands to use? I saw motorad has been mentioned but just wondering on what else is there or how good motorad is.

I checked Ebay and clear ones are about $50 each :mad: Ill have to wait untill some cheapies pop up, I dont think I can justify spending $100 on just the...

    I was going to orignally do that to save on money and time, but i found a whole set so I couldnt resist :biggrin: Whats going to look really cool is that there is no SS's in my color, so it'll make it a little more unique.

    Ahhhh, Ill turn the turn signal on and take readings on which pin is giving me an output when the signal is on and is not when its off on the block specified :duh: Dont know why I didnt think of that. Thanks ScarabEpic22 :thumbsup:

    Yeah, I was looking that up, thanks. Ill just sand down the cover and get it smooth before its painted. It doesnt look complicated. I sent Jman a message with a question I had regaurding to what pin exactly should I terminate the wires. He specifies which block but not which pin, wouldnt it...

    I called the stealership for the hell of it, I know I know, they wanted $610 for one sideview mirror!!!!!!!! :crazy: Iv looked into aftermarket stuff, but im really leery of it. Iv read that the glass is really wavy and the parts seem cheap. Iv checked GMpartsdirect.com and the ones that I want...

    Thanks Porkins, that was really helpful. I saw an SS on the road today and I do like the rear end. I guess they look different in pics to me *shrug*. The rear ends seem to be easier to find and less expensive than the front end, though thats not saying much, but I hope I can get a good deal on it.

    Im looking at different online parts dealers and ebay. They say some sideview mirrors wont fit on certain years, thats all baloney right? Any year mirror will fit and mount on any year trailblazer right? I would find it very hard to believe GM would change the sideview mirrors for any reason due...

    Im not to sure what to do about the rear bumper. The SS bumper looks really bulky and fat so im not to much of a fan of em. I might go with 06+ LT bumper, or maybe an Envoy or 9-7x? Also, what do you do to add the support for the center of the 06+ bumpers. Mines the old kind so if I just slap it...

    Definitely remove the roof rack, unless you use it. I never used mine. With the roof rack gone it really adds a much smother look to it and its really easy to do. Look at my album and youll see a before and after picks :thumbsup: I got this great idea from fireman4215 to install raptor lights...
