I'm the even newer guy...
Hey folks. Just joined today, bought my 3rd Blazer yesterday. I've had a 1993, a 1999, and now the second 1999.
Hopefully this vehicle is going to serve several functions.
1) Plow driveway. Won't be beating on the truck, small driveway, hanging a Snowdogg plow on it next week.
2) A "toad" for the motorhome. Some contraversy around this. I know there are two different xfer cases in these trucks. This one has the "Auto 4WD" function, so the xfer case can be put in Neutral, which to me would indicate it can be towed either 4-down, or on a dolly. I read somewhere else where even though it has a neutral position, this person still didn't think it could be towed, so I guess the jury is still out on this for now.
3) Truck for me and the dogs. HATE not having a truck around
...and they LOVE going for a donut from time to time

TOO many. Trying to simplify, believe it or not. I'll post some pics later.
The Caddy is Momma's, so THAT'S not going anywhere soon. The Lincoln has 145K on the clock, but it's in great shape, and is actually a great car for New England...V8, Front wheel drive, and it gets 25mpg on the highway. Motorhome was new to us this year, and the Camaro is a full frame-off resto. Came back from paint last winter, and now I've been slowly plugging away at the reassembly process.
