Guess I forgot to update this...but it survived another gambler after I fixed it! Didn't even break anything...just a big dent from a tree. Lots of other blazers and s10s there...had to be at least a half dozen. I wheeled with a couple of them.

Well, I'm a little late but here you go.

Fixed up this POS on the cheap and it's making a great winter beater. It's amazing what difference in aesthetics some paint, wheels and stickers can make.

Had to fix the rear axle, that was the last video. Swapped some offroad/street blazer parts around.

Also did ball joints, fuel lines, brake lines, (used) caliper & rotor on one corner, ebrake hardware with ghetto actuator. Painted the grille black, did my red/black bowtie treatment along with some Z69 stickers. The Z28 wheel offset and some rear spacers actually help with stability a little...widens track by 4" in front and 7" in back. I yanked out the terrible head unit install and put the leftover factory CD player in...been rocking some DMX. Sanded the ragged and prickly shift **** and swapped the metric cluster to my US one from the Gambler.

Lots of fun to have an #aintcare winter beater. Dump the clutch and kick the *** sideways and slide around. Then if it gets stuck just put in 4WD and drive out. Good times.
