118. You can plan on just doing one thing. But repairing/replacing one thing ALWAYS leads to repairing/replacing another (couple) things.
119. Open rear carriers combined with non working 4wd SUCKS @$$ in thick mud...
120. Just because it worked for another members blazer, DOES NOT mean it will work for yours even if they are virtually the same in every way.

127. A blazers cup holder was not designed to carry hot liquids over bumpy roads.
128. Auto 4wd makes no difference when 4wd won't get you out
129. Replacing a u-joint requires 5 people, 3 hammers, 2 ratchets, and a therapist.
130. Turning the volume up always makes the rattles go away.
131. A brush guard does not guard as much as you would expect it to.
132. If your mechanic tells you that your blazer is equipped with a 3800 V6 you should run.
AND I'VE ONLY BEEN AN OWNER FOR A WEEK!!
