Perhaps not the most unique nickname, but I like Star Wars, I have a white truck, profit???

I picked up this 2004 Chevy Blazer at the beginning of the month from a used car dealer, so I know I overpaid for it, but I really wanted a newer truck that would be (hopefully) more reliable. It has 167k miles on it, but it's clean. The interior is mint, has cold A/C, sun roof, and a tow package; all things I want and need. It does have quite a bit of bubbling on the lower body lines and around the wheel arches, but the frame and suspension is very clean.




I plan on bedlining the lower body lines with Rustoleum Professional along with the hitch and bumpers, and installing a tire carrier for it and some Firebird wheels. I don't have crazy plans, just want to keep it reliable while I pay off the loan.

 

It looks like it could use a good cleaning. Other than that it looks nice, I like white blazers.

 

She's a nice looking ride, I would suggest maybe an add a leaf kit depending on what your towing... I have a little pop up tent trailer and it was low when I was pulling it, since I added the leafs it's been level and rides better then before

 

All four calipers locked up on me, so I had to replace them along with the pads and rotors. The one rear caliper wore right through the pad and the piston was rubbing on the rotor. I bought all Wagner products from Rockauto. $350 shipped; pads were from Napa.





Right before I replaced my brakes, my A/C clutch locked up. I knew it was coming so I had already ordered the A/C kit for $120 on Rockauto. I still have to finish installing it, but the compressor was thrown in so I could at least drive it. Had to throw in a new battery too.



I threw my AR39's on for now. I like how wide they are, but these aren't the rims I'm going to keep, just have to get the new ones put on these tires.


I found this Lund aspoiler I had for like 6 years. I kinda like it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯



I also just picked up an angle grinder, sanding disk, and primer to start taking care of the bubbling paint once it stops raining.

 

Very nice. Looks like the tires all lign up straight, did you throw on some spacers on the back?

 

They don't, haha. I could use 1" spacers on the rear.

 

Like the spoiler on the back a lot. Some euro tail lights would look great.
Looks a lot like my blazer used to. I also have a 2004 white 4door (4wd) blazer. I've had for about five years now, been doing lots of upgrades here and there.
But, now I think I'll have to get a spoiler

 

Have you done ur AC compressor yet? Yas it hard and did the freon shoot everywhere like propane does? I've never done any ac work and I gotta do mine.

 

I actually dig the spoiler. I am not sure if it would look better in white or not.

 

Hey TaJohns34,

Personally, I like the black. It's a good contrast. Black & White contrast is a classic look. If it was in white I think it would be too much white - nothing breaking it up. Just my two cents.
Good luck with your project.
