RE: New Guy
Hey I too have a RHD Blazer here is New Zealand
Glad to see another on one on here with the same thing!
Here's a pic of mine its a 1998 LT with 20's
If your looking for parts try Bunce Motor Company in Aukland - They are brilliant! - they have most things in stock but are expensive
I have also ordered parts fro Rockauto.com in the US and was way cheaper even with freight and only took a week, you just have to watch out as some parts are different for the RHD versions - I got caught on the pitman arm and ended up getting another through Bunce but I got Balljoints, Tierods, Idler Arm, Pitman arm, Control Arm Bushings delivered for cheaper than getting just the balljoints here .

Hi Karljodi. Welcome to the forum. Nice looking truck.
I think there are 3 otherKiwi's on this forum. (Another on the North Shore, one inWaikato & another somewhere in the Queenstown area). So, now there are at least 5 of us.
Keep in touch with the forum, there is lots of information & interesting people & some of their trucks are amazing.
I'm on the North Shore & Bunce & I are well aquainted by now! They helped resolve a few issues after I got the blazer & since have done a major service @ $500 ouch! That hurt. I have just got prices to do a tune up & their price for plugs, plug leads, dist.cap & rotor was just short of $600 + 2.5 hrs labour @ $70.
I'll be visiting Rockauto to price up these bits first. Till now I've bought mostly off e-bay.
The guys at Bunce are pretty friendly & I pop in from time to time for a chat about the Blazer.
Whilst their main business is importing & converting the bigger LHD ute's to RHD, they also import Blazers from Japan but mainly for parts. I bought a starter motor for $95 - not bad,and a few other bits.

RE: New Guy
The truck is a used Jap import. I thought it came standard with these flares ( & the monsoon window things). The truck was built in New Jersey. Maybe different spec for your exports?
