there are some good ones down here in alabama. i just really wanted to something else than mudding. mudding is great and all, but my jimmy is to good at that. anywayz, i've been dying to get on this forum since i've got my truck so i talk to people that have a passion for blazers and jimmys. off topic, but where did you get that brush guard?

i like because of the explorer look he has. but i wanna go bigger. 32 on 16s with that hunters brush guard, some 6inch off road lights, and a zr2 tire rack. after that, it think a vortec lq9 bore and stroke to 409 will be the perfect truck. right now, she has 31 with no lift and no rubbing with stock 3.42 gears. i lost about 1 mileper the gallon around town and on the high way. oh, and she will still spank a stang to 60 and will pull my dads silverado 4x4(with a car trailor)without any problems.sry, i like to talk alot about my truck b/c everyone under rates it. yours doesn't look to bad, but i have a thing for 4drs.

this is getting onto the rock.

Thats the thing about 2dr vs 4dr everyone likes what they like. I had always wanted a 2dr since high school. I agree that too many people underestimate what these turcks can do. I know that I have pushed mine many times and I am yet to have any real issues getting through.

yeah, same here. hey, can i ask you somethin. this has been bugging me since i got my truck. when i got it, it came with 235/70r15 but their was so much room in the fender. and there is no lift, i've checked to see if the tb were cranked and if it had an aal or if it had a body lift. she also sat higher than otherblazers and jimmys.before i got onto the forum(as a member) everyone said i needed 2inchs to clear 31. so, i concluded that this was a special production or gm just see fit to put larger tires so that the blazers and jimmys can compet with other suv. do you know if gm did any special production tun or anything of that nature?

ZR2 blazers came stock with roughly 3" of lift and 31s stock. Yours is not a zr2 as they did not come in a 4 dr. But there are a few guys on here that have 31s with no lift. They just have a little rubbing when offroading.
