how to fix a 4x4 blazer the cheap way

Link no worky. What is it?
OK just watched it. That works, at least for awhile. The slide collar won't stand up to continuous use, I don't think, or at least hard wheeling. It's a dumb design from the factory, for sure. Best to just do the bravada shaft mod, and be done lol

I feel ya, man! If it works for you, go for it! You can get the bravada shaft and tube in a junkyard for around fifty bucks, though. All you really need is the shaft, you can reuse your old tube, just have to make a block off plate for where the cable goes in.
I'm just a little biased against the stock axle disconnect. It's left me stuck without working 4wd in a couple of crappy situations. I had a homemade posi lock setup, and the slide collar wasn't engaging fully.

Man, y'all have better luck than me! I had to replace one of the gears, it was all chewed up from partial engagement, and wouldn't lock in. Then, it came unlocked on me when i actually kinda needed it. It felt engaged by hand, but under load it would slip and leave me in 2wd.

He ended up replacing a bunch of s#it.
I do keep a pair of vice grips handy. Used to be for my seat recliner.

And with the cavalier seat swap, I was finally able to return the vise grip to my tool box!

Did you get pics of those seats in yet?
