Later on they hit it with boost and an electronic ignition for the 400 hp I was talking about before.

I can totally understand why you wouldn't want to put money in that engine. But, they can be fast.

 

[Joey D]

Well what can I say? I was proven wrong.

yo i have a 1987 chevy s10 blazer

and i love it

 

[Joey D]

Blazers are good vehicles, sure they are slow and bulkey, but they will run forever.

 

[eliseracer]

Hey Blazin, what's your truck look like from behind? I've never seen any shots...

 

[Joey D]

Well the big OakTown sticker is now a small one on the left hand corner, the West Coast chopper one is gone and there is an Oakland University one in its place. Other then that thats the rear end of the truck...not that exciting.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

Your blazer is looking really nice. If I still had my blazer I would definetly want those lights on there.

 

[Joey D]

Thanks, but I seriously thinking about selling it. Maybe I don't know, if I get the right price.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

What would you want to get if you sold it? I dont think its 4wd (not sure) so that means you park it in the winter since you live in Michigan. Do you have a daily driver?

 

[Joey D]

The Blazer is RWD drive with a 3 inch drop putting it at like 5 inches lower then a stock Blazer. But its not terriable in the winter, I have good tires on it. The only time it sucks is when we get over 7 inches of snow...I can't drive then. So ya its daily driven.

But I want a Cobalt SS non supercharged I think

 

[ak47matt14]

ya my blazer is 4x4 its good to do **** in
i just installed my sound syestome in from my old chevy cavalier

i went offroading (BY MY HOUSE) GOT STUCK AND USED A FRIENDS DODGE RAM to get me out

WAZ UP COMARO

 

[ak47matt14]

HERE IS HIS MONSTER




CANT FIND MY PICS OF MY TRUCK
NOTE ITS STOCK

AND HERE IS A BOZO THAT GOT STUCK AT THE SAME SPOT I DID JUST ABOUT 5 FT AWAY i didnt help him. sucker trying to offroad with 7in ground clearince

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

haha looks like some of the good times I used to have. However my old mud truck had 44" tires and a massive lift. When it got stuck it took a lot to get it out. Its no fun if you dont get stuck. Pics of that truck are on my site. You would never believe I only bought it for $500. I sold it for $1000.
Now I have a mild white truck with 35" tires that I only drive mabey 2 times a year. I just dont go off road at all any more. Cant afford the gas. I play on my quad instead.

Yeah I know what you mean. My daily driver is a Saturn and if we get over 5-7" I have to get my white truck out. (not the mud truck)

I have plans for the back of this truck.

 

[TVRKing]

Sorry. Couldn't help it.

 

[Joey D]

I wish I could get some dual exhaust like that, but the only problem is all the kits are way to off roadish looking for me. That however looks pretty damn cool.

What about buying the tips you want then modify your blazer to fit them. If you know how to weld it would be very easy. And it looks like they miss your hitch. Just make some brackets, notch the bumper, and weld the tips to some exhaust pipe.
After a second glimpse, it would not clear the hitch as pictured above. You could still find a way to make it work.

 

[Joey D]

Ya I can make anything fit with the plasma cutter, wheel-o-death, and a welder...but like I said I want to sell it. But if for some reason I don't I might try it out.

I could only dream of owning a plasma cutter! I used one about a week ago to install 2002 interior into a 70 camaro and the plasma cutter is the ultimate tool!!
CUT my time in half!

 

[Joey D]

I don't have one but my girl friends dad has one so it makes it easy. It was so much easier to use stuff like that when I was lowering my truck. I really want to buy one though.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

If you find a good deal on one I really want one too. Im trying to keep an eye out for the best deal. I wont have one this year but hopefully within the next few years.

 

[Joey D]

Did some photos tonight on after I got out of class with my buddy's Redline

 

[Slicks]

Looks great! Especially your 3rd and 4th pictures.

Comparing it to the Ion, wow! I didn't realise how low your truck was!!

 

[Joey D]

Thanks!

Ya and the Ion is on coilovers too . But ya my truck is a lot lower then it should be for a daily driver.

 

[Joey D]

Thats right, daily driver, in the snow and ice. Although tonight was intresting, I was plowing the roads!

 

[Slicks]

Ooooo.. nice pics. The truck looks good there.

Do any donuts? I'm really jealous.

 

[Joey D]

Oh ya I did lots and lots of donuts and I can hold the truck sideways in a perfect drift too. Also I can throw my hand out the window while doing it. I was a lot of fun.

We also hooked a sled, then an intertube to a rope, then tied it to my trailer hitch and basically rode around. Also my buddy skied behind my truck. See I don't need 4WD to have fun in the snow.

But my buddy kinda had a run in with the Ion (from a few posts up):

 

[Slicks]

Oh, ouch. How'd the curb take it?

 

[Joey D]

The funny thing was he was going like 10 when it happened, but he broke part of the curb. And the best part is we got it all on tape too! So when I edit everything it will be good to go.

But ya he...

- Snapped the half shaft
- Broke the control arm
- Ripped the strut out
- Bent the strut
- Bent the rim (brand new)
- Ripped the tire (brand new)
- Messed up the tranny
- Messed up the under body

Grand total:
$6000 bucks worth of damage.
