Nice, where did you find the soft top?

Hatch guy · 01-27-2013, 03:48 PM

It was on it when I bought it. There's a couple of company's that make them though if you google it.

yeah I doubt I'll have that problem. Are they illegal in other states?

cleszkie · 01-28-2013, 01:15 PM

I wouldn't normally comment on someones ride. But since you are asking for opinions, here it is.......the blazer looks outstanding but the tire/wheel package is completely wrong (in my opinion only). Welcome to the board.

Not sure if they are illegal, but more of a safety concern. We could run them, but would have to have mud flaps and/or fender flares. Water would spray on cars behind you, impairing their vision. Weird rule, but none this less, it must be on the books

Tires must be inside the confines of the fenders

And yes, it is a Pa. thing from way back, nasty lot, they were

Ive had police in my driveway, and im not one, lol. To answer drunkbus....

Ridnhi · 01-28-2013, 12:52 AM

Sweet Blazer! you live in my neck of the woods, about 45 min or so.

rsavage · 01-28-2013, 08:26 AM

Welcome. Great looking Blazer.

71swb4x4 · 01-28-2013, 02:24 PM

I like the color a lot. Give us more info and pictures. Is the interior stock?

SACRAMENTO 71 · 01-28-2013, 04:01 PM

Ill have some better pictures later when I finish out the interior. I just snapped these with my gopro real quick. The interior will mainly be stock with no original seats and stereo. I get you have the wrong wheels on there a lot. People either love it or hate it. I went from a 05 1500 with lift/wheels/tires and wanted a old blazer with the same kind of setup. Some people go as far to tell me I ruin it,but hey they can be removed and stocks put back on.

Martyeth23 · 01-29-2013, 10:16 PM

Heh, I made the transition from an 06' Diesel lifted/tires/wheels etc. and fought the same thing, lots of people telling me it wouldnt look right with bigger wheels than 15 or maybe 17's max...eventually i listened and after seeing a billion pictures online with the same old school apperance i.e a lot of tire and much smaller wheels you get that cemented into your head and it starts to look weird with a more modern bigger style wheel...but regardless....I think it looks awesome, it's your truck build it exactly how you want it!!! Besides we all know from looking buying one ourselves you will never fall in love with anyone else's setup 100 percent there's always so tinkering anyone would do when they purchase. Love the color man, mine is in paint and body right now but they havent started spraying the paint yet, any idea what color that is specifically or have a color code? Looks great, and welcome!

spenceman72 · 02-04-2013, 10:31 PM

very nice! I do like that paint job, looks like glass!
