Hello new to site.
Hello I'm new to the site and so far I love it. I am looking into getting a 01,02 4 door blazer and had a couple of question I was hoping someone could answer, are these trucks pretty capable for off road use like mild trail riding and driving through snow. how do they perform offroading. also is there anything that I should pay close attention too when I go looking at trucks. thank you for your time.

Welcome to the forum!
As for as offroading goes, I can't really help you, I have a 2WD. But I have gone a couple of DRY, MILD trails with it, seemed to do ok as long as I drove it smart... Didn't get stuck.
I would recommend taking the truck to a shop before you buy it and have them run a diagnostics on it, ie hook it up to the computer and make sure everything is running right. Have all the fluids looked at. If they're in good shape then that shows the truck has been upkept, if they're not... who knows how long its been since it has been serviced..

Welcome to the forum, I'm new as well.
I have a two wheel drive but can tell you it is very capable of going through some very sticky stuff. I know guys that have the four wheel drive and are very happy with it's abilities. Get the truck looked at by your mechanic, he'll charge you 75 bucks or so but it's well worth the cost. Good luck!
