Granted, I bring several large tarps so the carpet in the back doesn't need steam cleaned in the middle of November, and the smell on the drive home is a bit stronger than in a pickup, but besides that it does just fine. Oh, gotta quarter the elk rather than hoist it up a tree limb and back under it, but I never shoot anything but antelope close enough to a road to get away with leaving it whole.

But the all the others I've read so far look true.


1xx - before you curse how hard it is to work on, try changing the water pump on your wife's Chrysler Voyager after it froze up and got the timing out of sync.

104(a) Right after you notice how many Blazers are out there, you'll notice that most of them are the same color as yours (this might only apply to silver)

165. the compartments in the back seat area of 2-door blazers are great places to hide drinks and such from people ;P

165- Cut a hole in the floor in the rear above the fuel pump and hinge it up, you will thank yourself later when you need to do it again.
166- Do not use aftermarket spider assembly, only use delphi, or you will be kicking yourself in the *** later.
166- stiff gas charged shocks+city driving = feeling of riding on wooden wheels.
