Not everyone can be as fancy as you to have full coverage on a 20 year old vehicle, some people can only afford to drive older cars and dont have that luxery.

Get off your high horse stop your name calling and bullying people because they cant afford the finest insurance like yourself.

Dudeeee.... He wasn't trying to start a confrontation.... Take it easy.

My dad is paying for the insurance and it was a lot cheaper to have a young driver with only *comprehensive?* (where if I hit another car my insurance would pay for their cars and not mine). I guess I am kind of glad I don't have it because then insurance would have definitely totaled it. I can get the front end parts off craigslist for under $300, use my old wheels (for now), and swap the rear end damage from off my parts car (97 jimmy).

By the way will a 97 bumper swap on a 2000? They are a little different style and I can't get in to look for another week.

There goes chesty again blowin sh** way out of proportion! Rich simply asked the guy a question. I don't see anywhere that he claimed to be any better than him because he doesn't have full coverage does anyone else? Seriously chesty your annoying please either become a contributing member of the forum or go the he** away!!

oh, you are right, I have full coverage insurance... again... dummy. Before you speak... try to figure something out.

But thank you for telling me what I have, or else I would not know. (sarcasm)

Thanks man, that is why we lost our last blazer, comprehensive/ liability only. There was frame damage and they took it, would have cost more to fix it. I still mix that rusty but trusty truck.
Chesty is a real piece of work. to say the least.


if the frame is straight, fix it man.

Changed out both wheel hubs up front. Took about 4 hours, running back and forth from the parts stores and tool shops added about an hour or two to that. Real easy! Doin' brakes now.
