Well we all know the blazer is in deep S#1T right now.... So buddy at work gave me the idea.

Sell the blazer, minus subs, head unit, and tail lights, and buy a 4x4!

i mean, we've had this conversation, my 2wd isnt going faster or going through mud easier. So why not get a 4x4 and really start getting it lifted etc.

What do you guys think..

Sell for a 4x4? if so, what could i get for my blazer right now?

If you are really into off-roading and that sort of thing go for it but more than likely the 4wd will eat more gas obviously so if it is mainly your daily driver I would stick with the 2wd or get something more fuel efficient if it was me.

I got to say I'm glad mine is a 4x4, even with stock susp. it's still alot of fun. IMO do it.

I just sold my fuel efficient car (neon) to get back in a 4x4 Blazer. I say go for it if it's what you want.

Check out Craigslist, you may be able to trade someone for their 4WD since so many people want better gas mileage.

yeah we've got some, but i really dont want to take the chance of pulling a bad motor. I mean, look what happened to mine, nobody would know unless they started it or saw the inside. Im going to save up some money first and look at my options.

Sell it and buy a fullsize. There are more aftermarket parts for fullsize vehicles.
