Alright, here's the deal.
My Jimmy is still kicking, but I'm not sure for how much longer lol. It needs tires, catalytic converter, a TON of rust repair, new fenders etc... I've always really like the Xtreme S10/Blazer and have noticed them starting to pop up on Craigslist for the summer.

So here's my question, If you were in my position, what would you do? I enjoy off roading but I have friends with trucks that I can go along with. However, I do enjoy drviing my own truck off road. On the other hand, the Xtreme's are just plain awesome, and would be a blast on the road.

Decisions, decisions, decisions...

So I've been in contact with a guy selling a 2001 Blazer Xtreme on CL, the thing is, it has no power options! Locks, windows, it's all manual. I didn't even know that the Xtreme's didn't come with all the fancy doohikies lol. So I guess I'm wondering (gosh I'm so spoiled) if it is possible to swap in the stuff from my doors, the door switches and motors etc, in order to have all the power options?
