At $25 an hour, that is a steal for a shop rate. Most any place I see anymore are closer to $125 per hour. That adds up quickly!!!

Finished up the brackets to mount the propane tank under the driver side rocker area. Tucked up nicely and other than the pressure relief valve, you cannot see it from the side. Very happy how this turned out and just need a jack and remove 4 nuts if need to service. I was using metal I...

Got some free time to get some more of the floor work done. Got short slats cut, drilled and all of them painted. Still need to do more short slat for the middle section. Was able to get the front and middle top sheet cut and test fitted. Very happy with how this is coming out. I still need...

Well.... we are another couple who doesn't pay credit card interest, as we pay off our card every month. Prior to 2020, we just used our debt card to pay for the daily stuff. After the pandemic started, we started seeing a lot if issues locally with skimmers being used (even in Target) so we...

Bump for the New Year! You know you want this!

Well between being sick and then rain, I haven't been able to get much done. I did get a set of Diode Dynamics SS2 C2R flush mount lights for X-mas. I had also picked up a plug and play dual light harness from them, that plugs into the factory trailer wiring. I think I had less than 2 hours...

To me they are two very different vehicle use cases. The Blazer, which are cool on their own rights, is more of the classic car type at this point. Restore/restomod and cruise around and enjoy it. The Suburban is something I would use for adventure traveling. Like you said, it has EFI and...
