Is this blazer worthy of being rated for mall crawling? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Its a DD for a bit, if you dont drive them, things go wrong, so while the car is on the fritz, she's been daily driven for the last week. Stuff is slowly bt surely getting fixed. I have heat now, the choke no longer sticks, the guage panel has light s now.... THe 15" wide 36's were eating too much gas, we will see if it improves any with skinnier meats

what is mall crawling?
?

72armyswbtruck · 12-17-2006, 04:58 PM

I thought that those little tires looked a little out of place

krue · 12-17-2006, 05:05 PM

I'd drive it.

bad_turbo · 12-17-2006, 05:25 PM

got rid of the rusty one, so now you should have money for this one.

desertrat · 12-17-2006, 05:30 PM

I'm curious on mileage let us know how much you save. What gears do you have ?

masterbeavis · 12-17-2006, 06:41 PM

4.57. I wont really know what I save exactly, the odometer quit working and I never bothered fixing it. If I am lucky, I will get 1-2MPG more, but I will have to cruise at a slightly slower speed to keep out of the secondaries.

Mall crawling is an expression for a poseur 4x4, one that doesnt have a front driveshaft, would never go off road, and probably has never had the 4WD engaged. You go to the mall to do your wheeling

dude that's awsome. love the discription. =)

Southedisto · 12-17-2006, 07:08 PM

Only way it would look better is if it was crawling up a curb!

masterbeavis · 12-18-2006, 12:51 AM

or climing up a curb, and having one of the other wheels up in the air....

desertrat · 12-19-2006, 10:53 AM

It definetly does not look like a "mall crawler"

skchevota · 12-19-2006, 11:13 AM

Do I spy a dana 60 in the front? definitly more than a mall krawler.

My wife's '04 Explorer 4x4 is a mall crawler. It goes to grocery stores, preschool, shopping malls, outlet malls. The only time it goes in 4wd is if/when she bumps the 4x4 BUTTON by accident.

With those tires, this rig has no buisness being off road.

msgross · 12-19-2006, 11:27 PM

my wife takes her Tahoe approx 1/3 mile to the preschool which is actually closer if you walk through the back yard! I guess that would be a "mall crawler"
