Long story short, life happens, hardly been driving the Blazer, considering selling it as I could really use the money right now...




Not really sure what it's worth considering the age, mileage, condition, and mods (not that mods really add up to much when it comes to resale value, I know how that goes...)




2004 4 door 4wd

207k miles




Mechanically it's solid, nothing stopping it from being a daily driver. It's been throwing a code for an upstream O2 sensor randomly, and there's a slow oil leak that I have a gut feeling is the rear main, but it's very slow (will leave maybe a dime sized spot on the ground under the truck after sitting for a week), those are the only issues that I'm aware of that should be noted.




Aside from that mentioned, everything works as it should and nothing is broken.




Exterior wise:

-roughly 1" lift with rear shackles and torsion bar adjustment

-31x10.5 MT's on aftermarket 15" alloys

-matching spare on 2 door rear mounted carrier that's been retrofitted on

-brush guard

-Smittybilt 8k winch tucked in the front

-24" LED light bar on the brush guard (controlled by a switch in the cab), 52" curved LED light bar along the top of the windshield, (controlled by a switch in the cab), and LED pods flush mounted into the rear bumper (turn on automatically when shifted into reverse)

-custom made HID projector retrofitted headlights

-custom LED retrofitted taillights




Engine:

-K&N intake

-DR44 145amp alternator off a Suburban (upgraded charge wire to battery as well)

-Dodge Intrepid electric fan conversion (controlled by a switch in the cab - auto starts with ignition-on)

-Flowmaster 40 muffler and gutted cat covered l converter (gutted when it clogged, never got around to replacing it... no emissions test in FL so never really had the incentive to replace it...)

-Yellow Top Optima battery




Interior:

-Diamond Edition seats, door panels, and steering wheel

-Android double din radio (bluetooth, navigation, wifi, etc)

-Rockford Fosgate component speakers in the front, JL Audio mids in the rear

-Pioneer Profession Series 800 watt amplifier pushing a pair of Rockford Fosgate P3 12"s in a ported box in the back (fed by 0 gauge to the back seat, then stepped down to 4 gauge via a high current quick disconnect - the entire sub/amp assembly can be removed in minutes to get more room in the back)

-Gauge cluster and dome lights all changed to white LEDs (extra LED lighting added in the rear cargo area that comes on with dome lights)

-Custom mounted with a 3D printed bracket CB radio in the center console (not wired up yet)




Repairs done:

-Brakes - both front calipers replaced, drilled and slotted rotors, and ceramic pads installed

-Transmission solenoids and internal wiring harness replaced as well as a fluid and filter change done in the process

-Fuel pump replaced with lifetime warranty unit from O'Reilly's

-All ball joints, tire rods, idler and pitman arm, and worn out steering rag joint replaced with Flaming River solid joint

-Both front wheel bearings

-General tune up a years ago, and regular oil changes at 3k miles










I'm sure there's more but that's pretty much the gist of the major things. Would also be getting a ton of extra parts with the sale, and even a second set of wheels and tires (16" Camaro wheels with some Micky Thompson AT tires on them)










I really really REALLY don't want to get rid of the 'ol girl, but things are complicated right now and I'm just running different scenarios through my head, and one of them involves parting with the Blazer...

 

Last time I looked, blue book for these things even in excellent condition was like $3500. Even with the upgrades, someone might not be inclined to pay more than that like they would a Toyota or Jeep since the S10s simply don't have the reputation those trucks do.

 

Man, I am super bummed reading this...One of my favorite Blazers on here!

But I understand when stuff comes up, you gotta do what you gotta do.

When my Blazer was 'totaled out' from hail we had here, about 3 years ago, I received around $3,250.00. The insurance guy said it was one of the cleanest he's seen...

I think with everything done to it, and the level of maintenance performed, you could ask around 5 Gs....especially in my parts, where the 4x4 is needed every winter. Not sure how much they're going for in FL.....maybe check out others similar in your area, and price appropriately.
Might end up making more breaking it all up....selling the wheels separate, maybe the grill guard, winch, etc. Would take longer, but just a thought.

Hope everything is ok with you guys. Much love from the Midwest!

 

If it is well maintained, with your mods, I would think/hope more like $4000? To find a true body-on-frame SUV is pretty hard at that price. You might have to wait for the right buyer.

 

5gs truck and tires, depending on the amount of parts, may e could starts around 5500-6000. There no shortage of proof of work to go with it. And for a 4x4 winched setup, ready to go ride, I would drive down for it lol, but no cash. I've always wanted a clean southern truck, always been jealous on how clean they are compared to our salted canadian ones...

 

Honestly, I hope you can figure something out and don't have to sell it.
