I can get it to peel out, but it also helps if you brake stand it or the tires are cold. Mine is stock except a K&N panel filter. I plan on exhaust and maybe a cai, will get better gas mileage and a little more power. Just make sure everything is tuned up to specs. Also I have no idea how the blazer would get stuck in your driveway, I have driven almost everywhere some of my friends lifted jeeps and pickups have gone and never got stuck, when some of them have (this is stock with highway all seasons on it).

So I would definately look at a CAI and making sure everything is tuned up (fuel filter, cap, rotor, wires spark plugs, air filter, oil, differential lube and transmission/transfer case fluid).

might want to make that picture a little smaller I can't even view the whole thing because it is to big

and as for a 4 foot snow filled driveway..........that is what shovels are for , back when I lived back in NY we constantly had snowbanks taller than me and plenty of days where I had to shovel the driveway 4-5 times because it kept filling up that fast

mine is bone stock also and i dont really think these blazer's were really built for off road because my wife got stuck in our drive way but then again we live in bfe and on a farm and before anyone says anything about female driver this one can drive anything and she loves mudding in our 95 bronco with 44" tires and detroit lockers sometime she goes and pulls my friends out

but back to the topic i dont really want to spend a bunch of money on this thing is losses it value to much around were i live i was hoping there was some easy ways to get a little more bit out of the 4.3's
I definitely have to disagree about the off road statement. No they're not rock crawlers, but up here (6700 feet above y'all in the Colorado Rocky Mountain area) after all the deep mud trails right after a rainstorm, the foot of snow on the road from the week long blizzard, and almost double the amount on the trail, my Blazer refuses to get stuck, period. Plenty of power and grunt under the hood for me. As for the upgrades, exhaust/intake is almost always the cheapest effective upgrades you can do to a vehicle.Of course, a proper tune-up should always be done first (Lenny mentioned most of everything). My only"peformance" modwas a drop in K & N andI honestly didn'tnotice a difference at all but i'm satisfied with the stock power as it is.

you gotta floor it when the tires are fairly cold still, but mine will bark and shes bone stock.
I guess that depends on the tires you have on... My Goodyears would lay a streak of rubber until it got to 15mph. My BFGs barely bark!

I agree with MR Blazer LT, The best CHEAP upgrade is a CAI or a custom exhaust. Bot will run between 200-400 buck depending on the brand and quality.

I can break my BFG's loose at any time in fist gear... and if I'm romping on it, they ALWAYS squawk going from 1st to 2nd... The factory rubber would squawk going into 3rd... (when you could get it to... It doesn't really like shifting into 3rd at high RPM, lol)

And it took Toyota and Nissan until the current generation ofmini-truck to have a V6 that has more torque than the 4.3... by 6 ft/lbs for the Toyota... and 21ft/lbs for the Nissan.... Though, pretty much all other mini truck/suv's stomp the Blazer for HP...
