Re: MY Blazer build

Dumb question, but I'm new to this stuff…what's the benefit of going with a sleek aftermarket gas tank for a Blazer then just the stock replacements available from LMC or other company?

Re: MY Blazer build

I have had some bad luck with the blazer. the first time i took it to pismo it blew the brand new drive lines right out of it. The 2nd trip i took it on a guy hit me with a trailer in a parking lot and a half hour later a rock broke my window.

Re: MY Blazer build

Nice Blazer! Did you buy the insert for the grill in black, or did you paint it? If you got it in black, where did yo purchase it? Thanks.

Re: MY Blazer build

Seeing a gorgeous truck like yours make me want to go all out on mine, but if some one backed into my fresh paint i would go insane!!! Since I dont have much for rust I think im gonna live with the patina. Maby when i get a garage built i think about it
