It was a top day.... Since snow is forecast, probably a good time to get them ready for winter
them?
well the FJ40 too
summer
not summer
let's try that with the Blazer
oh wait... first I need to move the forklift.
which would be easy if I knew where the keys went
then, of course, it's not ready to be put on anything
pressure wash
first round got most of the dirt
then soap
then sticker removal
cleaned up okay
then on the truck
next up is paint. I have new seals, but I needs some help in the paint department

Assembly continues
got the panels for the door
then spent quality time cleaning and painting seat belts
the other dirty one
then cleaning
ugh
assembly picture
and painting
before the uproar... I'm getting the belts rewebbed. None of the aftermarket products have the door popper that Blazers have. Meaning, big, ugly hole if I don't reuse them.

glass installation
first rubber
then clean glass
then glass
Have I ever mentioned I'm not a fan of aftermarket panels?
note, 2 screw holes to hold the windwing in place
missing something?
they forgot to drill this hole
we take this moment to not destroy a door while unsticking a regulator that somehow managed to get caught in the glass channel
glue the pads in place
and the other
now that I've calmed back down.
glass in driver's door
glad I put sound deadener in it... so less tinny
a tip. These things are good tell on how good the rebuilder is.... they go under the screw that holds the windwing in place. Forget them and the door will squeak and rattle (well, squeak and rattle more)
I did forget to put the mirror braces in... ah well, tomorrow
