Washed one Blazer and got a good picture of it and welded up some fenders on my other Blazer.

Set up a new "shop light" to throw some light on the Blazer when pulling those late wrenching nights

I've never ran a cover on mine, and it doesn't seem to get dry rotted any faster than the other four.

If it was on the roof, I would agree with you

I was just thinking that from a "looks" point of view a cover would be a must if I had a spare located on the rear of my Blazer. But then again I grew up in a time when spare tires that were mounted on the rear came with covers. Pickups, no; everything else, yes.

Oh, I gotcha. Aethetics are a matter of opinion, I guess. Personally I think it depends on the look the vehicle is going for. My truck is kinda rattty, function over form. For a nicer vehicle, a cover can look nice

Years ago I had two covers on my old 84 S10 - first one was stolen - the second after I attached it so it needed unlocked for removal when they couldn't get it off who ever wanted it destroyed it - I gave up .....
