yep sold it, it is going next week the guy that bought it is gonna try to get it to run or just use it for parts for his 97 got tired of this truck had it for almost 6 years, got me a 04 explorer to replace it 3 weeks ago, yes im actually a ford guy but the wife got this thing when we were dating, it may have more life into it or may serve to keep another going had a lot of good and bad memories in that old truck i started my own lawn care business in that old thing carrying it on in my explorer, even though my explorer is 2wd ill miss the 4wd in the blazer but i moved onto a newer nicer SUV.
Here is some pics of the old truck sitting in my driveway as it sits, i also happen to be looking at the weird blazer quirks thread, one of my "favorites" is the hood thing i had to fonzie it trying to open it half the time

 

Dont feel bad. Im trying to sell my Blazer and if I do, Im looking at a 2001 Ford Crown Vic police intercepter

 

Ill never sell mine. Ive driven it a whole couple months, parked it uears ago, and dumped thousands in mods into it so far. It will ride again one day...

 

yeah same with mine every since i bought my silverado

 

Don't really feel bad I'll miss it in a way but I just got tired of it
I also just want it out of my drive

 

Well I sold my 97 Blazer with 180,000 miles & regretted it every day, so I bought a 98 Blazer with 102,000 miles & I'm keeping it. I might buy another one as a spare.

Good luck with the EXPLODER. The trannys fail regularly. My buddy had an 05 Explorer & 58,000 miles his tranny failed & $3000 later he was in business. He bought it new. He was a mechanic for the city & the cost was because when the fail they wipe out hard parts that are very expensive. See you can't even check the trans fluid in the newer ones. You have to take them into a shop just to add any fluid. I'll take my Blazer over any Ford. I owned many Fords in my days. Oh I take that back I would take my old 56 Ford sedan with a T-Bird 312 that I built with the ole 3 on the tree with overdrive. I had A whooping $300 in it back in the 60s. That was a bunch of money. I rebuilt the 312 for $50 paid $250 for the car in perfect shape.

 

i guess you'll move on to an explorer fourum now good luck with ur newer car and atleast you kept it american theres just something about saying i drive an american car thats gives me a warm tingling feeling
that reminds me of this song now haha - AMERICA F*#K YEA!


America **** yeah-team america - YouTube

 

Only way I'd sell the Blazer is if I could get an Astro in the same or better condition as my truck. And since anything in the same year range with similar miles is still $2-3k more than my Blazer's worth, I'm sticking with the Blazer. Can't beat being paid in full!

 

^^^^second that...new car smell wears off long before the payments stop.
dont get me wrong...who wouldnt want a new car....i just dont like the payments

 

I just traded my 04 blazer in for a used 2012 Traverse with 10,000 miles on it and fully loaded (except leather). Walked out the door paying 29 for the traverse. Got 4 for my blazer which had some issues including a broken gas gauge.
