General ChatChat about all things Blazer (and related vehicles). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.
Finally got to 100,000 miles on my 2001 Blazer. I have had it 5 years and it was on 70,000 when I bought it in 2016.
Lockdowns have meant few miles in the last couple of years but it is still a reliable workhorse when needed.
It’s the third Blazer I have had over the last ten years and by far the best.
It looks like there are now less than a hundred left on UK roads so they are fast disappearing which is a great shame as there is nothing else like them.
Right hand drive parts can be a nightmare to get but fortunately I have built up a shed full of useful parts to keep it going for as long as I can.
The Blazer Forum is a brilliant source of information to help run such a rare vehicle .
