Default just bought my blazer last night

Hey guys,
I sold my 2WD 2001 Ford Explorer Sport for $3750, and along with money saved I got into a flawless two-owner 2000 Chevy Blazer LT with 94k miles for $5000. Blue book in my area is $5800-6200 for good-excellent so I feel I got a great deal.

I put ~50 miles on it last night getting used to it and it's great. first thing addressed will be new tires and rims (thinking about goodyear wrangler duratecs and 15" american racing ar62 outlaw II's).


(^not mine but exactly like it)

it's white with grey leather interior and the interior is perfect. the outside has a couple small issues (wheels and tires both worn in well) and a 1" scratch in the hood. all in due time

Nice truck!
Welcome to the forum!

Just my opinion, but I feel that AR62 outlaw II's would look better on a drag car, not a Blazer. But it's your truck, so just ignore my meager opinion, lol.

Enjoy the truck! I know you will.

thanks guys. dumping the explorer was necessary... it was reliable and nice enough but 4x2 wasn't gonna cut it come december and 1' of snow on the road (i live on a pretty steep road too which doesnt help) so i thought better of it and got my money out of it when it was still worth a bit.

and yeah cbr995 i see where you're coming from on the rims. i've never shopped for them in person but i think they look nice on this ranger:
