I recently purchased a 1994 S10 Blazer 4X4 with 48k miles. This is my first Blazer and I am a novice (to put it politely) when it comes to vehicle mechanics, but I want to take good care of this old beast and keep it as my primary driver for the next decade or so. It obviously was not driven a whole lot over the last 25 years, and sounds like it. The whole truck
sounds like it could use some grease and the exhaust is pretty loud and obnoxious. Additionally, I am hoping to make minimum modifications to set it up nicely for mountain biking and camping trips A couple questions regarding that plan:
1. Tires: The car still has factory tires which are pretty shot. Pretty sure the current size is either P205/75R15 or P235/75R15. Either way they look pretty small and wondering if I can go bigger without a lift.
2. Bike Rack: Has anyone out there mounted a bike rack on the spare tire in the rear? Wondering if the hinge could hold the extra weight of the rack plus two bikes (75lbs or so)
That's a very nice looking blazer. For the bike rack, I'm not sure. I have a second gen, and I installed one from a 2door onto my four door. I use a strap to the roof rack to take the excess weight off the hinges when I have the bikes on it.
