Been thinking about letting our Blazer go. Wife saw my buddy's '95 Volvo 940 ... and I saw the fact that the thing had NO rust, and found out it's got a non-interference engine & RWD - a mechanic's dream! So we started talking about it, and just happened to find one on Craigslist. Paid $800 for the thing - came with snows on steels, and OEM alloys with summer tires. Got a damn good deal. Just needs a fuel pump and a few minor repairs. Has leather power heated seats and 3-way memory! Sunroof too! I think we're goin' yuppie ... Gonna look out of place in this neighborhood.

Just got the Blazer running better than ever too with the new ignition parts. Oh well. That's the automotive game! Someone's going to get a really great deal. Just drove it yesterday - thing flies now with decent spark and a free(er) flowing exhaust. What a difference. When I get some time I'll throw it on the Classifieds here ...

I just had a flowmaster 40 series muffler and down turned tip put on my 2000 Blazer. Made it sound alot better without being abnoxiously loud or mid to hi pitched noise. I might try a high flow cat in the near future.

I recently replaced all my shocks. Wow, they made a big difference!
I found a close-out sale on Monroe 59302s so I got a pair for the front, and for the rear I went with Monroe MA764s and the AK64 dual line kit ..... no more droopy butt, lol.

Well she's not 100% blazer or jimmy any more but she is at heart - I pulled the toy up on the lawn today to wash a winters worth of road grime off - I will put bets on the fact that I have one of the few RX7s that the owner has too stand on a ladder to wash the roof and back window

Hey do you by any chance have a sound clip? Put on a Trush welded muffler which is a copy cat of the flowmaster and its not to loud but not to quiet. I want more rumble lol

Just installed My Hella Horns from my Impreza. Stock and these are pretty loud nothing like an air horn. Also got to replace the old cig lighter. The old one would not hold any of my chargers.
