i like that black one....lol

but that first one is sweet too i like the fender flairs alot!! and is that a marker light on the fender or just a reflector?

 

I wouldnt buy it if you plan on keeping it for a permanent driver. used Parts would be HARD to find and this thing would end up costing money later..Even though ir'd be cool to have it.

 

I think that black one is sweet. But I do agree about the whole not being able to find very many parts.

 

>>>>I had previously rented Blazers while holidaying in the USA so I was not totally unfamiliar with them. Of course the UK supplied models are RHD. I am generally very pleased with it. With a 4300 V6 engine under the bonnet I didn't expect it to be economical to run I bought my 1999 Blazer in January 2010 with 72k on the clock & full service history. - and it isn't! I have achieved 25mpg on a long run with the cruise control set at 65mph but in reality, and with varied driving situations, expect around 20mpg at most - often much less. Some literature claims up to 28mpg is achievable - personally I think this is impossible? But, if like myself you don't do massive mileage the fuel consumption alone should not put anyone off buying one. Driving a Blazer is not the wallowy experience many people assume it to be. The suspension is suprisingly stiff &, considering it weighs nearly 2000kg it drives & handles quite well. Steering is an old recirculating ball set-up but feels pretty positive. At the end of the day - it is not a light sports car so nobody should expect it to handle like one. For me it is a useful & practical vehicle that "does what it says on the tin" so to speak. Build quality is very tough. I regularly tow a 1500kg braked trailer with ease. For me they are something different - only 700 were sold in total in the UK. There was no diesel option avaliable & for that reason alone I believe the vehicle was doomed on the UK market. Do not be put off by this, and by people telling you that parts are difficult to obtain - this is simply untrue. That having been said, don't expect your local Halfords or motor factor to stock many parts. You need to get used to using mail order if you own one of these. I have got hold of most service items via UK-based suppliers within a couple of days. It is just a case of knowing where to go - access to the internet is almost essential. Most parts prices are comparable to Vauxhall spares. DIY servicing is no more difficult than any other vehicle I have owned. Reliability has been pretty good, check front wheel bearings - they seem to be prone to failure but are easy to replace & around £120 a side. Join the owners forum too - a great place for technical advice.<<<<

This is a review from a UK owner posted on Autotrader, maybe parts are not to difficult to find here...?

The owners forum, maybe he could be complimenting you guys on here?

Thanks for the advice, I will certainly give more thought before I buy one of these

 

I have contacted the dealer selling the blue Blazer & all being well, I will travel over to Birmingham tomorrow & have a gander at it, also hopefully to see who has been servicing it (service history) & I shall ask some awkward questions... eg. spares availability. If they do not answer my questions to my satisfaction I will give her a miss! I will let folk know what happens

Can't be a solid axle. You can see the torsion bars hanging from the drop brackets for the lift. I'm not 100% sure but it looks like the sticker is for Superlift which would mean the black truck has a 6" suspension lift.

Does this help? Its from the other images of that black lifted car

 

Oops! Just noticed that is a copyright image..

 

I phoned the dealer selling the blue Blazer......no answer, no reply to an e-mail, so I phoned his cell phone, "sorry, not opening till Monday but yep, still got the car", Moondog thinks he will give that one a miss. Phoned a dealer selling a red car, "sorry, car is away having a new alternator fitted, it will be back mid-week", think I'll give that a miss too, which leaves the private sale lifted black car... 100+ miles away, not far in US but in the UK, almost the width of England, gonna give that & Chevy Blazers a miss, shame but still... Jeep Cherokee's & Grand Cherokee's are much more plentiful but hey, I like the look of these Chevvy's!
I will leave the photo's up as evidence that there are a few Blazer;s (S10?) in England

That's the rear axle I too would say it is a superlift 6" IFS lift as you can clearly see the drop bracket and the t-bars..
