gettin a blazer now
 

well my original plan was to sell the k5 s**tbox and get an astro as a daily driver/dragger. but i guess these are getting pretty rare. so i found a couple of old body style s10 blazers in my area for cheap and i was wondering what to look out for. i know you 1st gen blazer owners may have some tips for me on what to pay close attention to when i go look at them. such as areas that rot on all of them, certain leaks, or any problem areas these trucks known for. i know the 2nd gens inside and out, but ive never had experience with a first. thanks fellas. drag on!

I've got an '87, does that count?

nevermind. we just got a 97 2 door 4wd 80.000 miles traded in at my dealership and my boss is hookin me up for 2g's. id say thats a pretty sweet deal! and its been serviced at my shop so i know its been maintained great. plus it was a little old ladys so it wasnt beat on. the only problem is its way too tall...not for long[sm=badbadbad.gif]

LOL...I can't wait to see how low this one gets. I can't believe the deal you got on that!!

RE: gettin a blazer now
 

nah, im not going crazy on this one. only a 3" drop and a 98+ frontend conversion. i guess the wife is planning on taking the blazer and leaving me with the escort. oh well

Sweet deal dude

Yeah I'm lowerin the Blazer this weekend. I'm goin 2" drop all around until I can get my bags. I'm just tired of the bitch sittin so high, lol.

Have fun with the Escort ;)

RE: gettin a blazer now
 

oh, i will. im ordering the bags and cylinders for it this weekend.

Yeah I have buddy here in town that has a ZX2. He's got a wall with 4 15's in the back, bags/cylinders, lambo doors, it's pretty sweet for an Escort, lol.

Keep us updated on the Escort and the Blazer. I know this is a Blazer forum but I'm kinda interested in the Escort buildup too, lol

RE: gettin a blazer now
 

holy ****, that sounds sweet! ask him if it was tough to mount the cylinders? i have 0 experience with them, and no clue what needs to be done. im gonna try to use the stock upper mount and fab up a lower, but i don't know what to expect. you got to get a picture of that thing! and i promised myself that i wouldn't do anything to the blazer till i get the escort and sonoma done...but its going to be hard to resist. mabye i can just crank down the torsion bars and throw some blocks in the rear to get my by for now...

are you serios about the blazer being to tall?? or is this some kind of low rider obsession
