Thanks for that info. I'm torn on what to do. I bought a 95 2door 4X4 a couple of months ago for $1,500 and needs work. Their are a couple of nice ZR2's by me in the $4,000 to $4,500 range that I could get in the next couple of week.

Problem beeing I would be out of cash for a wile. But I could sink $3,000 in the 95 now and make a fairly nice one. Decisions

It also depends what you want it to do. Want to lift it, put some 33's on? It's more work to get a Non-Z to that point. Also, if you have an auto, you will have the smaller rear axle and if you want to take it off-roading with 33's, might not be the best idea. You should maybe factor in a rear end swap into the cost for your 95. That blazer is a standard and came with the stronger 8.6" Rear end (as do all ZR2's).

Make a list of what you want from the blazer and add up all the estimated costs to get each type where you want it to be. Factor in purchase prices and everything for an accurate comparison.

LOL I didn't even realise that. Nice catch, wow the weather was much nicer last year. It's not nice enough to start working on it yet, it's still snowed in where it was parked for the winter.

I had also recently did some work in the interior. I put the dash back together, installed a cd player I had lying around. Ran power for the drivers seat and installed it.
This is the greatest looking driveway ever... blazers and s10.. I would like it more if they were first gens. I love them, but still... amazing driveway.
