New to the forum...
 
Hey, I'm new here (obviously, why else would I be posting this?)

Anyway, I don't have a Blazer, I have a Jimmy. I hope I'm still welcome. I just bought my Jimmy (an '89 S15 Sierra 4x4) last week. I had a '91 Dodge Dakota prior to it, and after 5 years and putting 90k miles on it going back and forth from SoCal to Jersey, it was time to retire it. I traded it, plus some cash to my mechanic for the Jimmy.

Right now I'm working on fixing some minor things on it (horn doesn't work, a turn signal is out, a seat belt is stuck, etc.) Yesterday I started to install my Kenwood stereo, then it got dark and figured I'd finish it when I get up later today. I haven't installed a stereo since I bought the Dakota, so it took forrrever. Finally I got it right, and realized that it wasn't powering on because the fuse is blown. I still need to solder the wires and install some speakers.

Thanks. I didn't realize there were any Blazers in Oz. Are they Chevrolet or Holden?

Here are some pics I took before I bought it. I'll take some more after its cleaned thoroughly and I have a few things fixed.

Welcome from the other Kiwi.

We're in New Zealand! Not Australia! LOL

From an Aussie who signed up here (then disappeared) there are only a hanful of them in Australia.

Here in New Zealand we got somewhere around 2 to 3,000 Blazers.

All (including those in OZ) came from Japan as used imports. All of these & obviously all Right Hand Drive, were built in New Jersey. If you check out the pics of foxxie's & my Blazers you'll see there are suttle differences other than the obvious Left vs Right hand drive.

Oops. Sorry about that. I have a friend from Perth, Australia. He told me once that New Zealanders hate to be called Aussies. I just noticed that everyone's location is listed at the top of their post. I should have payed more attention.

No probs mate. In case you read a post a while back, NZ had experienced a 7 or 8 magnitude earthquake & NZ shifted a foot nearer to OZ. Soon we'll all be one! LOL
