Default D 5UPE from UK.

Hi folks. Ive just purchased a 2000, 4.3 LT Blazer for jetski retrivial and general use. Im not sure if I'm going to keep it long as I have found it hard sourceing parts for it. Ive just put 31x10.5 R15 A/Ts on the rims. 30s would have been right for it as I had to cut the bottom corner arch off for turning clearance.

Anyways I'll talk about this more in the forum.

Hello and its good reading on here.

Welcome to the forum!!! Glad to have you. You should post up some pics of your ride.

The reason why it is hard for him to find part is because he is overseas, where the blazer is not as popular as America. Also if he does find parts over here, some places won't ship out of the country and if they do it would cost a fortune.

Sorry I haven't replied earlier. Yes, parts are hard to get over here. This one I bought was made for the Uk (right hand drive) and not something you see on the roads too often here.

I have managed to find a UK based dealer who buys from the USA and Canada, and parts arrive at the door in 5 workin days. Not bad.
I'll post some pics soon and see if theres any modification changes made as to use in this country.
Thanks for the welcome.
