Default hello from pennsylvania

hey the name is joe, or winkler lol
i just bought a 1996 chevy blazer 4x4 4 dr LS with 240,xxx miles... it runs and drives like a dream ... hoping i can get a lot more miles out of it.
I have named it the "Green Lantern" as i plan to get plenty of off road lights on it lol
i may not take it off road a lot due to the mileage but i like the style of adding lights
im always open for opinions and slight tweaks to do stuff on my 4 days off of work so i will be doing some hard research trying to do some modifications... so if ya all kno anything help me out

thanks,
Winkler91

Hi Joe! I live in Pennsylvania too. We bought our first Blazer in December since we needed a family vehicle with 4X4 to get through occasional heavy snow but did not want to make too large of an investment. It's a 1998 LS, four-door model, maroon, with 134,000 miles. It drives like a new vehicle, and is built better than most of the new, over-engineered, over-priced plastic/aluminum clown cars coming out of the factories these days. I won't mind spending money on it in the future to make repairs or do maintenance since I really like the Blazer and expect to keep it for a long time.

Here's a thread that I've already found veyr useful...
