Those little trucks were just not build for the weight or power or weight of the non stock engines But you're right; it was a blast to drive!

You are better off with the Blazer than a Jeepster, especially when it comes to parts. Then there is the "a bull nose isn't a real Jeepster" banter that you would have had to put up with if you had gone that route! They are cool rigs though; I'll attach a pic (probably crooked!) of mine (and if that is not allowed on the board, will a mod please remove or let me know?).

Your Jeepster is awesome!!!
I was not a huge fan of the bull nose, so I feel I lucked out picking up my blazer.

Thank you, sir! It is a fun little rig and I enjoy it. Some days the Blazer is fun to hop in to (Mama and I grabbed our 3 nieces and nephews the other night and took them in it to go look at Christmas lights) and other days the Jeepster is the right rig to grab (I like taking that out to the beach to grab lunch and run up and down the coastline).

In the end, I believe that you did better by grabbing the Blazer as well!
