Poll: Driver or Non-Driver - Post what you got
Trying to see how many Blazer/Jimmy trucks we have that are actually driven vs in some stage of restoration...

The junkyard jimmy is driveable, but not street legal, or safe for that matter (brakes).
My 2wd is basket case, though it it all in one rollable pile now.

Re: Poll: Driver or Non-Driver - Post what you got
driver when it is not going to rain. Weather is just about right to drive it to work every day. As soon as the motor gets back in it

Re: Poll: Driver or Non-Driver - Post what you got
I voted non driver-almost there as I can't call it a basket case. Due to circumstances I haven't gotten much done since the body mounts. Carpet is fitted but requires a little more trimming. A little more free time to spend in the shop will be happening soon.
Later---DAC

Re: Poll: Driver or Non-Driver - Post what you got
Mine is hard to describe. It drives, is tagged, but never leaves the garage because it runs and drives so crappy. So it is a Driver-Basket Case!

Well mine's a driver but I live 4 hours away. It will be coming to its new home soon.........I hope.
I gotta kick the gf's Jeep out of the garage first. I think I have the smallest 2 car garage ever.

Daily driver. In fact it's the only transportation I have right now so you could say I trust her.

Re: Poll: Driver or Non-Driver - Post what you got
The K5 gets driven just occasionally, could be driven daily but I'll let the 30 mpg vehicle do that for the most part
About the same for the K20, just driven occasionally. 8 mpg kinda sucks with a long drive to work.
