Re: How Many 4 Wheel Drive Blazers Do We Have?
Here is our daily driver/family hauler. 74,000 original miles. Had one repaint about 10 years ago, at that time the original lower wood simulated moldings were removed. Otherwise it's all stock and unrestored.
I've found from people here the white with orange cloth interior was a highlander option. I've since bought new white with orange houndstooth seat covers through Chris (aka: Yellowblazer) from this site. Thanks Chris. Gearing up for an LQ4/4L80E swap next for a little LS fuel injected power and overdrive cruising ![]() Maybe I'll put the woodgrain moldings back on, I haven't decided if I prefer the clean look or not and whether I want to spend close to $800 for all of it or not. Maybe you guys can help me decide. ![]() |

Re: How Many 4 Wheel Drive Blazers Do We Have?
Thanks Chevyman63! Wish I could take some credit, but I bought her this way. Oh well, I still have a few plans for her! Lift and tires!
Cheers Pete |

Re: How Many 4 Wheel Drive Blazers Do We Have?
In case you didn't know, the 33's fit without the lift. That's what we did with ours. We have to climb in as is and didn't really want it lifted. With the 33's and stock ride height it actually has more ground clearance than I'll ever need anyway.
Nice blazer by the way. Can't believe all the blazers on here. I haven't seen one on the road in years it seems. They must all be hibernating on the board here ![]() |

Re: How Many 4 Wheel Drive Blazers Do We Have?
Thanks Firebird,
Yeah I know the rubber will fit, but I want the clearance for possible 35's in the future. It probably won't see too much offroading, but I still like the lifted look. Do you have a pic of yours so I can see the stance? Cheers Pete |

![]() You are right, as others have told me too, so far it's been, put the moldings back on. Guess I'll have to look into that and get it done. I'll have to start shopping around for a complete kit. |

Re: How Many 4 Wheel Drive Blazers Do We Have?
I think Mar-K has kits, as do Early Classic, and Brothers. I got a set from Brothers for my 68. Perfect quality, no complaints.
Makes a nice Xmas gift ![]() Pete |

Re: How Many 4 Wheel Drive Blazers Do We Have?
I guess I introduced myself on the wrong thread. I'm 32, my dad special ordered this 71 Jimmy 350/350/205/3.73. The mud pic was taken when it was nearly new. Dad bought it specifically for trail running and racing in the PNW4WDA (Pacific North West 4 Wheel Drive Assoc). Its been converted to a 2wd once so that the Jimmy frame could have a super shortened box put on a pickup body for racing and even was rolled once. Then it was put back to a 4wd so that the racetruck could be converted to become the motorhome seen in a 2002 revision as a car hauler. I was given the truck as my Eagle Scout present from my parents in 1995 when I was nearly done (early present FTW) and daily drove it all through my senior year. Once I graduated HS and started college, I couldnt afford the fuel working part time at a grocery store, so the Jimmy got parked. That was late 98 I think. So its been sitting ever since, in the back of the barn, pretty much as seen in the pic with the windshield banner "71 Jimmy" with the exception of 15X8 baby moons/smoothies and new 33/12.5 mud tires I got for a graduation present.
Less than a year old I think: ![]() As seen summer of 1996 just after HS grad: ![]() As Dad daily drove it summer of 85, note the factory soft top was still in decent shape. ![]() The old racetruck (68 GMC half ton converted to 72 Chev clip 3/4 ton running an Olds 455, 4spd, divorced T-case, 4X4 with a rear tag axle): ![]() When the Jimmy was barely 2 years old, Dad slid through an icey intersection and was T-boned. No more first gen trucks were left on the lots, so the insurance company paid him off and called it a total (yet the title stayed clear since that was before the dawn of time), and since he worked at a body shop, he paid himself to rebuild it. I'll have to dig up a real scanner and locate the old racing pics and more from my HS days. I sure miss the truck, I'm going to be in need of a truck by springtime, and I'd like to not have to deal with emissions, have a gnarly V8 again, and have an old car for cruises. ...I wonder if Dad will let me dig it out of the back of his barn and restore the brakes/fluids/tire pressures to driveable duty again?
