2wd Blazer Curb Weight
Guys with 2wd blazers....those of you who've scaled them...what do they weigh? What kind of weight split?
I've searched online for weights, but the weights I've found for 69-72 blazers, it's never clear if it's for a 4x4 or 2wd...etc. So what does your blazer weigh? What engine and trans? Single or double wall top? Thanks.

Re: 2wd Blazer Curb Weight
I "think" the 2x4's weigh around 3750 lbs and the 4x4's weigh around 4100 lbs. I can't speak to how much the other stuff weighs.

I'll try to get mine by the feed mill here soon and let you know. It's a 2wd, 350 , saginaw 4-speed, double wall top, full interior.

They aren't featherweights by any means, and I removed some weight with the LS swap. |

The front diff/driveshaft and cast iron 205 case adds some weight over a 2WD model, but getting it under 3500 will be a chore. I'd like to hear how that goes for you, please keep us updated. My 82 Jeep Scrambler which isn't much sheetmetal even though it's longer than a regular CJ, full soft top, half doors with soft side windows, bucket front seats and a rear seat added, no carpet in the back (just bedlined), aluminum wheels with 32" tires, a 350 LT1 swap with a 4L60E, and even that scaled exactly 3500 lbs. without a driver. And that's really not alot of vehicle, pretty bare bones really with just a heater. |

Re: 2wd Blazer Curb Weight
Yeah, i'll keep you updated once it's on the road. I'm going LS, aluminum wheels, single wall top, porterbuilt rear suspension with coilovers, and no limit front IFS with coilovers. Rob at no limit says the aftermarket IFS is ~100 lbs less than the factory 2wd IFS.
Of course the turbo setup adds a decent amount of weight. We'll have to see.

Is it getting painted? I'm going to tear mine down for paint, and I have really been wanting fiberglass bolt on fenders and hood that functions with a factory latch. Would even love a fiberglass tailgate if it worked with the factory latch. A little work to make it all look as it should and no one would be the wiser Don't know of anyone making stuff like that for these though unfortunately, but I'd do it if it was out there. |
