I got some goodies in the mail today
First off is my painless wiring harness
My initial impression of the kit is very good, a brief look at it showed that the loom is split in 3 sections, Dash, Engine and Rear. Plus a fuse box.
All the wires are labeled, and color coded. It came with a 33 page installation book, which includes a diagram, plus charts for writing what goes
where, and what is used. The dash harness has wires for all the "regular" guages. The kit also includes alot of accessories like wire
connectors and zip ties (more than enough to do the whole car every 3 inches). All in all (other than the $270 price tag) I am happy.

My second set of goodies are the pieces I picked up for the front suspension. What I bought: 8 hiem joints, 8 brackets(with bolts), 2 ball joints, and
2 screw in fittings for the ball joints. I also picked up 8 ft of tube (not pictured) for the new A arms. I already did my front suspension, but was
not happy with the way that they fit together, the way it looks, or the adjustability of it. I was also slight leery about the strength of my
brackets. My rear suspension is composed of the standard 4 link with the panhard bar, I used heim joints all around. I plan to re make the whole setup
and cut the old brackets off, mount the new ones and make new A arms. My old front suspension was a modified westfield A arm set. I had to lengthen
the bottom A arm to fit with the blazer (same as S10) steering knucle, it just looks ugly, and for a ball joint I used a slightly modified tie rod
end.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
