Re: Mourn with me, Blazer Nation

Makes me rethink my old gas tank, can someone say fuel cell...

Cut the windshield off with a battery powered sawsall, go 3/4 tons, tube doors and meet me at Rausch Creek. Things there cause more damage then a parking lot!!! J.

I guess he wasn't lying about it being his last post. Oh well, at least he posted its demise before he left.

On the bright side, those of us that aren't dumb enough to do what he did (or let someone else do) just saw the value of our rigs go up a little!

Re: Mourn with me, Blazer Nation

Wow! Are you kidding me???? Ever hear of a roll bar!! Hmm, whipping donuts on hard pavement in a lifted 4x4 with big tires will flip it over? Who knew? It's sad to see such a great machine wrecked so carelessly. It's a wonder you weren't killed. I cannot mourn with you, you don't deserve it. The guy who posted recently about the tree falling on his truck, that guy deserves some sympathy. Do us a favor leave the vintage iron alone and drive something that doesn't matter if it flips, like a Ford.

Re: Mourn with me, Blazer Nation

I'll take that bet, pay off is 3 beers at the campfire, 3 to 1 odds. If I lose, I'll drink 9 beers and you drink 1

He's gotta come back to defend himself

Sorry this thing had to include the Jimmy getting squished, even if it did have a crooked emblem on the hood

Re: Mourn with me, Blazer Nation

Blazer Nation,

YES, you are ALL right! My Blazer was so screwed up from the very beginning, and it's design caused it to be where it's at today; in the grave!

Yes, I did have problems with it as i was building it.
But Yukon Jack's links and comments are "history only" since those problems were completely fixed.

I am not a professional (as you can see) when it comes to building Blazers and that's why i came to this site, to seek your advices and opinions.

The Blazer is long gone now and i got paid back for every dollar that i put into it; $16,904.97
With that money i already bought something else, that i like a little bit more than the Blazer; 1943 - GPW
(I purchased it from a 2 star Army General who drove it during the war and brought it back with him after the war...incredible story) Enjoy the pictures.

Edited by Moderator

Thank you all for being so kind and helpful in the past.
You are all great and wonderful Nation.

Respectfully,

T J
