Re: Is your Blazer you DD ?
It depends on the job. I'm a self employed carpenter. If its a small job requiring just a few hand tools, the Blazer gets fired up and driven. My dog loved it this summer with the top off.

Re: Is your Blazer you DD ?
My blazer isn't roadworthy yet, but I drive my truck on a fairly regular basis.

Re: Is your Blazer you DD ?
My '72 is my daily. I take my daughter to daycare on the way to work and pick her up on the way home. She loves "daddy's truck!"

Re: Is your Blazer you DD ?
My 72 will be a daily driver when gas goes back to .99 cents a gallon.
I love to drive my Blazer around town and to the beach, but live in fear of traffic jams and try to avoid rush hour. Bouncy truck your 72 looks perfect, is that stock suspension? what tire and rim size are you running in the photo? I really like the look of your Blazer. |

Blazer Nickname - "THE GARAGE QUEEN"
Nope, but when it's finished, I lack paint and the money to pay for it ![]() I have no intention of this thing being a trailer queen, I bought it to drive, just kinda hard to drive it alot being it's unfinished ![]() *I'm a dumbarse, it will be trailered to show further than 2 hrs. due to the 6-10 mpg she gets, those are estimates, no figures

Re: Is your Blazer you DD ?
Mine's not quite done yet (It is close, but still no paint). When it is done I'll drive it to and from work (about 10 miles 1-way) when it is nice out. Due to gas prices I'll be selling my current DD (1991 Silverado) and buy my wife a run-around car since her current car is a 1999 4x4 Suburban. On the nice days I'll drive the blazer, and on the others I'll drive the Suburban or her new gas saver.

Re: Is your Blazer you DD ?
I'm lucky 5.5 mi. to work each way so it only
cost about a gallon a day. Home Depot, Lowes, Grocery Stores, & Restraunts all in a 10 mile radius. I put her in the shop for some front end work and I have to get a ride to work from one of my employes. I don't want to leave my wife stranded with out a car.

Re: Is your Blazer you DD ?
Bouncytruck, that is gorgeous. Do you have more pics of the inside? I am not lying here, I would rather drive that Blazer over a Mercedez Benz S500.

Re: Is your Blazer you DD ?
I wish mine was still. I would rather drive it than anything else but the gas is too pricey. Plus, I get a little nervous with all the bad drivers some days. It was my daily for about a year and I loved it.

Re: Is your Blazer you DD ?
Mine share dd responsibilities. Daily work commute is about 2.5 miles each way. With that and running errands, picking up materials, etc I put about 2k miles a year on each.
