Moving SUCKS. But a change of perspective helped me see the opportunity!
Просмотров 7607 часов назад
I moved shops again. That’s right. Three shop spaces in six months. Despite what can feel like road blocks and set backs, when looked at with a fresh perspective can be full of opportunity. I thought would voice some of my perspective changes and how they help me see how I can improve and grow. Hopefully they can help some of you guys too!

This has to be my all time favorite Blazer build. The attention to detail, craftsmanship and pure perfection created by Dan Parsel in his garage is the stuff of legends. Every item meticulously scrutinized for weakness and function. Creative solutions, nothing but the best and all under the capable hands of a master fabricator and builder. I was honored Dan brought his Blazer to my open house a...

I really don't like the location of the factory fuse panel. It is difficult to get to, and awkward to work on. I have relocated the entire fuse panel in this Blazer build to the engine bay passenger side. Less mess and easier to work on! Makes me want to go swap my entire wiring harness out of the K30 Blazer!

In my constant evolution to make wiring cleaner, easier to troubleshoot and more reliable I have started labeling as many wires in my harnesses as reasonably possible. It may take a little bit longer but the clarity and ease of diagnosing problems later on make it a no brainer for me. I have been asked several times how I go about labeling and thought I would put a video together highlighting t...

    I'd like to put a cage in my 76 Blazer but don't want to lose my stock spare tire carrier. I've been racking my brain to come up with a way to carry my winch. I have hitches front and rear to mount it but would like to keep the winch stored inside in the back locked down. Maybe some kind of tray that slides out onto the tailgate in order to ease handling? I don't know?Definitely don't want to get hit by a flying winch in a mishap!

    • @MerricksGarage
      @MerricksGarage 3 дня назад

      I wouldn't trust anything that slides to attach my winch to. I just use a locking hitch pin and leave it on the truck

    • @AA-gj3kt
      @AA-gj3kt 3 дня назад

      @@MerricksGarage That's good sound advice. If I had a good solid mounting platform secured to the floor and something to slide the winch off onto so it could be pulled out onto the tailgate? My Blaze sits a little to high to reach in thru the open window and pull it out, besides those days are long gone for me! These sob's around here these days won't be deterred by a locked hitch pin. A couple years ago they used my firewood to stuff under my jeep axles in order to steal four 38.5" gumbo monster mudders and wheels!

    Mires factor is up to 3 times the weight of the truck if it's above the fender line most will never deal with that but it is possible always use a 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 never use a straight pull unless you have to if your stuck enough to need a winch your stuck enough for a 2 to1 it saves your winch

    Wiring harnesses ARE labeled. Thats why they use multi colord wires. I would rather follow a blue wire instead of having to twist & get a light on a label & get my eyes in a good position to view the label as the angle is weird. Go work on a Winnebago every GD wire is yellow. Oh, they all have a goofy number which makes no sense so you have to look up the wiring diagram to see what x-873-y goes to. No, give me my colors. !
