Thank you for the compliment!
Yeah im not really sure about the trim, I've noticed it but never really thought anything about it. Same thing with the roofrack I thought looked a little different but Ive never really compared it to others, and the rims were put on there from the dealer. Trust me it's a blazer lol, if it were a Bravada the interrior wouldnt be so plain lol. As for plans, pretty much what I mentioned in the first post was it. I picked this because I wanted somthing paid for that would last for many years to come, any kind of lift or bigger tires will only encourage me to take it out and tear it up. However that's just for this one, Im not saying I wont buy back my old 1st gen for a 350 swap and fun in the mud

HAHa, the Toyota pic reminds me of an African Airline joke.
How do you know when a plane has arrived from Africa?
It'll be the one with roof racks! LOL Sorry, had to say it.

The Hilux does seem to be the preferred vehicle around here, second only to the Hiace Van (Which Im lucky enough to roll in, awww yeeeah) Tho I have seen I think two blazers rolling around base, both 2nd gen 2 doors. Actually now that I think of it, at least one of them was a Jimmy.

Welcome! And thank you for your service.
It's a great looking truck; the rims actually fit really well. There aren't even any door dents; it's like it's new.
