Hello members of Blazer Forum. I am new to this site. I just received a 92 Jimmy for Christmas from my girl and I thought I would find a forum where I could find out more on these rigs and how to fix them up. These are new to me since I have been only building Datsuns for a while. I think building a nice trail rig would be awesome for a change.
This has the Vortec 4.3 so I know it has enough power. I'd like to give it a 2 or 3 inch lift and some aggressive tires.
Anyways I look forward to learning more about these rigs and chatting with everyone.

Thank you. It is in great shape for the year. It was owned by a 60+ year old guy before me. He took really good care of it.

Hahaha yes a 'Couvie. It has a solid drive train. I don't think it was off-road much. I was going to do a tranny service and check out everything closer.

I mainly liked working on the trucks (PL620's). I have a 71 510 Wagon right now. It's mainly stock, just lowered 2" and has a WWII fighter plane paint job. nothing fancy. lol

sweet. found a guy that has a '68 right-hander, but he won't part with it. been buggin' him for 5+ years, and he just lets it sit @ the back corner of his lot.

says he's waiting for the right time to start it.



BS!
