Blazer in the snow.

Well, I bundled up today and took the old blazer out in the snow for a drive. It was a little chilly with the top off....but well worth it. Was looking for some deep snow to really test things out...but couldn't find any today.

Re: Blazer in the snow.

That is a very cool pic. Snow melting on the hood from engine heat, Big tires, 8 lug axles and no bumpers or top

I think all Blazers and Jimmies should look just like that!

How'd those tires work in the snow?




Sorry, I was daydreaming at the pic....Thank You

Re: Blazer in the snow.

Looks like you had some fun. I'm up your way from time to time with work. It looks like you guys had some of the same fun we did the past couple of weeks....

Re: Blazer in the snow.

Ya..it was fun to get the blazer out and play a little. Tires worked great in the snow....but worthless on the ice!

72blckbuty-We've had a little mix of ice and snow the last couple of weeks, I can't wait for summer to get here!!

Great pics. I failed to get my K5 out when we had a touch of snow last week.

Re: Blazer in the snow.

FRENCHBLUE72,

You should be in the white stuff by now, they were calling for the snow level down to 500 feet this weekend in the valley, so you should be covered. (Sorry for the pun)
