Compared to the other cars i had, the handling of blazer is awful and so is mpg (around 13,7mpg and i was trying to be easy on the gas 
) but i still love it! The space, the comfort... .............Also i would like to put in xenon HID kit because the original head lights are pretty poor. Also dont know how it will work because i dont have lenses in head lights :/
Thats about it for now.
Anyways, great forum you got here and i know i will be learning a lot from you guys!

like rriddle3 said already, that's not a good comparison. but seriously, you really don't think it's good handling vehicle? for what they are, these trucks handle great, IMO (and i've had quite a few of these trucks).
look in the Member Group and Special Buys section for the thread by HIDextra.com. they're a forum sponsor, and have various deals on HID conversion kits. numerous members have installed their kits, & posted their opinion on them for us.
this statement,
makes me scratch my head............are you missing your headlights, or are you just not sure what is replaced in a HID conversion?
be sure to post up some pic's of your truck when you can.

Great to have you Chop!!! You just gotta love it!!! A guy from Croatia driving around in an old Blazer, that's awesome!!! That would make a great Chevy commercial. If only more people would here in the US could understand and respect such a great truck!!! Glad to have you Chop!!

I dont have any pictures of it yet but i could certainly take some.
Its a stock LT 4x4 version.
@old skool luvr
The handling would much improve with bigger rims and not so large tire size i guess. I got stock 235/70/15. 17 or 18 inch rims would make a lot of difference i suppose, i drive it in the city mostly.
About the headlights, i guess my translation was wrong. Lenses is direct translation from Croatian but i guess more correct term would be projectors? With no projectors the light beam will be scattered everywhere and it might bother other cars.
(its not easy for me to translate this )

)you can do a cheaper upgrade than buying 17's or 18's, you could just buy a "LT" tire.
as in a LT235/75/R15 instead of your current P235/75/R15.
the LT tires have a more stiffer sidewall (more plys), thus giving you better handling characteristics.
while the stock 15" wheels are no comparison to a set of 17's or 18's (even my factory tear drops-by far the nicest of the bunch), if handling is what you're after, then this would be the cheapest way (unless you know someone looking to unload a set of 17's/18's that fit your truck.
the headlights;
the HID kits sold on here (and i'm sure everywhere else?) are a direct fit, and don't require anything else to function properly. take a look at this member's install for those HID lights kits i mentioned above.

Thank you all for the warm welcome once again!
TomSawyer, your comment really put a smile on my face. thanks man.
Old Skul luvr,
Thats a great info. To be honest, i didnt know about LT tires and the thought of tires with thicker sidewalls never crossed my mind
17" wheels will have to wait anyway because with the amount of money i spend on rebuilding the automatic transmission(around 3000 dollars, i know its expensive but its the price we get here) i dont have much to spare.
Thanks for the HIDs link. Ill be ordering them asap
