My SEXY Blazer Xtreme

**bwhitfield24** · 01-15-2008, 09:51 PM

Best Picture I've taken yet. This was taken about 12 hours after getting home from picking it up. I live in Texas and flew over to Atlanta, GA and drove it straight back, with the help of my dad. 13 hours straight through.

I've done some minor upgrades to it including this, my custom short throw shifter. This started out as a B&M Short throw billet shifter. I had dad take it to work and cut the top part of the shaft off and add threads to it so that I could screw the stock shifter knob on it.

I've also installed a touch screen navigation unit that I bought off ebay. This is a factory GM unit out of a full size or suburban or tahoe or whatever. It was installed with absolutely no modifications required except to unlock it.

I have also relocated my third brake light to inside my blazer.

Another one of my projects for the blazer. I installed steering wheel audio controls.

ya looks good...you gonna lower it any?

**bwhitfield24** · 01-17-2008, 09:34 PM

Yes, it should be getting lowered soon... although I'm not exactly sure when. It was supposed to get done this month, but unless it gets done this weekend it's not going to get done this month as I have plans next weekend.....

**bwhitfield24** · 01-17-2008, 09:36 PM

BTW, it will be lowered 2/3 using spindles and blocks.

**Merritt** · 02-29-2008, 04:08 PM

Nice, how much time/money went into the steering wheel?

**bwhitfield24** · 03-14-2008, 10:39 PM

A couple of weeks doing research and gathering parts/pieces

**Merritt** · 03-17-2008, 09:22 PM

Nice, I might have to look into doint this to my dime in the near future.

**Onimun** · 03-31-2008, 02:49 AM

hey B, the navigation was a direct install? I wouldn't mind getting that unit for my Blazer.

**VortecBlazer** · 04-03-2008, 10:14 PM

what all was involved with the navigation touch screen? wiring, dash mods, etc.

**Flatman** · 04-04-2008, 10:07 AM

Nice bleezer! I want one of those navi units...how much did it go for on ebay?

**bwhitfield24** · 04-06-2008, 05:48 PM

There were absolutely no modifications required for the touchscreen navi unit. I did have to have a friend with a Tech 2 unlock it though, but it's the same connector as the 02+ RDS radios, and the screws are all in the same place too! All you have to do is find a place for the GPS antenna to go, but that's not hard to do. I've also installed an Ipod device that runs off of the XM channels, so i can listen to my Ipod now when I'm driving.

I payed right around $1k for it, but you might be able to get it cheaper. I had the extra cash from an insurance settlement, that's why I didn't think about the price much, I just wanted it.
