Yeah i know its not a Blazer but its still pretty neat and it has a chevy heart w/ a blower. This is my friend Brian's Sami that he built basically from the ground up. It was featured in Off-Roading Magazine. Its the only sami i have ever seen on 46 inch tires, and when i would stand infront of it the head lights would look me right in the eyes and i'm over 6 feet tall. Definately not practical and he sold it because he couldn't find any insurance company that would insure it. lol. Check out the attachment for the pic.

looks fun. impractical as all hell, and no wonder no company would insure an obvious off road toy, but fun none the less
