What looks better? Roof rack on a 4wd blazer or a 2wd one?
I happen to be at my dad's earlier today and I dug up my old roof rack from a suburban that I had, I always wondered what it would look like on a blazer. So I did and no I'm at a loss to whether put on the 2wd or my 4wd blazer tell me what you guys think?

I think they can look ok on either. I like the roof rack look on a 2wd if it has a bit of a surf-vibe.

Of course, if the top is off, nobody is going to see it anyway.

Before I scrolled down to your pictures I was thinking it would look better on a 4x4. After looking at the pics a I think it looks better on the 2WD.

Re: What looks better? Roof rack on a 4wd blazer or a 2wd one?
I've thought about This too. But if Have to carry a ladder to get anything off the top of Mine. So I wouldn't be able to use one. Already hit in Most garages and has a hard time going through drive through as is. Lol. 2wd will be more useful and blazers are already top heavy as is.

I dunno, I get having a roof rack, but then again you are putting a means of being able to carry things on the roof of a vehicle that's roof sags from the weight of rain.

Surf boards don't weigh much.
