General Chat Chat about all things Blazer (and related vehicles). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

what have you gotten done on your blazer today?

At any rate, I wouldn't tear out the 4wd, just put in a mechanical-shift transfer case and be able to put it in 2hi. or (gag) a push-button shift.
Thats what I meant, I always buy 4 tires, I have had a few sets of rims, and all of them have brand new tires on them, but its neither here nor there. But I will prob go back to 4wd in the future, I have seen the mechanical shifts on the web for decent prices, I have also seen the push button ones but they have gotten some bad reviews. All In all, I have had this truck for over 5 years and have put over 100000 miles on it... Its paid for and still has alot of life left in it. I will not get another car note, thats a big no no for me...

that's why i have a door lock key to each one of my vehicles with my house keys, which are on a lanyard, and are always in my right front pocket when i'm out.

also makes it a little safer when you warm up your vehickles in the morning.

i agree and disagree with you. great idea, did it when i had my cavalier. only problem is someone can break your window and steal the truck with the key in the ignition. Remote start. about $100 bucks installed, never need to worry about stolen.. not trying to start a fight with you
