Ya know that doesn't work with my husband and I don't expect it to work here either lol... but its worth a try...
lamest excuss ever used by a woman-and they only use it 'cause they know we can't try it ourselves!

besides, that statement was too little too late-i sent him a letter an hour later.

It may be different up there...but I know down here they are few and far between. I see quite a few driving though, just none for sale. One of the guys from S10F that lives by me just bought some 20's for his truck. He had the ZQ8's originally. I tried to get him to sell them to me, but he said no lol. He said he had about 10 different offers to buy them (some were for a hefty price too), but he wanted to hold on to them.

According to Wikipedia the difference between the 2dr and the 4dr versions of the 2nd Gen Blazers is a measly 6 inches. I'm sure thats going to make a huge difference on the trail.

My Blazer has many uses, taxi, off-roader, tailer tower and lots of other multi-purpose uses.

The 4dr is more family friendly. From what I have read the 4Dr Blazer and Standard Cab pickup have basically the same wheebase.


How about a dumb question??

What does FTW stand for???

Thanks

It does. Alot . Just go riding somtime and watch different rigs go up stuff. A 98" WB Cj7 may have problems/or go better than a 106" WB K5 Blazer on the same obstacle. At the end of the day , tires and WB will be the determine how easily/hard you get up stuff. Shorter rigs turn easier but tend to get turn over happy on all corners

I'm going to throw in a kink to the idea of 2dr. v 4dr.

The DRIVER makes a HUGE difference in any vehicles off road capability. Agreed?
