I know the truck is gone but you wouldn't happen to have any of the old wheels off the blazer laying around anymore would you? I do like the 4runners alot and they make a decent offraod platform just a little expensive for alot of things but still a hell of alot cheaper than my stupid Discovery.

Haha alot is an understatement!!! I just finished parting it out two weeks ago after making payments on it for 14 months and not being able to drive it due to a softball size hole in the block!! It had 99k on it and I was just driving 50 mph and it blew on me. I'll never but another one that's for sure.

a least it didn't burst into flames. There was one sitting in my local garage that was burnt to a crisp. I've always heard electronics in those were the first to go out

I wish it would have I tried to light it on fire from underneath when it happened so the insurance would cover it but my wife wouldn't let me lol!! I did have several wierd electrical issues with it along the way too. One time I had a short in the 3rd brake light and the stupid truck wouldn't come out of part WTF is that. The worst part is that a used motor that I know nothing about is $2500 for that thing. If I were to spend that kind of money I would want to rebuild it and I didn't have the time to spend rebuilding it at the time so I would have had to pay someone to do it so I looking at $6k by the time it was finished. Not worth it for 12mpg's!! I bought my Blazer for $2k and I'm way happier now than I was with the rover.
