2002 Xtreme Blazer
Well, I love my Chevy's, even though I have a Nissan Titan. I do have a problem though, called vehicle addiction. I have owned about 50 vehicles give or take a few. Most of them was vehicles I could tinker with and drive to keep miles off my off the dealership bought vehicle. My search for an Xtreme start when I decided I would give my 94 Zr2 to my mother, as I knew I wouldn't pull what I bought it for and put into it. Well, I ended up trading it to a friend for his 01 s10 2wd on the way to deliver it resulting in her have it. Anyway, I browsed craigslist and found a 99 xtreme that had a newly rebuilt motor and talked him down. Deal was set, he dropped out. Searched again, nothing local. Reached out further and found what I have now.
Called the guy up and told him I would pay his $4500 if he delivered a 150 miles to me. He had done a lot of maintenance to it, intake gaskets, rotors, ball joints, tie rods, plugs and wires, new windshield, fuel pump and bunch of other stuff to include repainting the bumpers. All this with a 102k on it. Nice. He delivers it, drives it off the trailer. I take it for a cruise and paid him. Couple hours later, I go to get it legal and it has a delayed start. Yep, I found out why he was selling it and had replaced the fuel pump and other maintenance. He thought he had me. After the second and third time of this I knew the fuel pressure regulator is going bad(about a $60 part). Anyway, plans for this thing is: Fuel Pressure Regulator Nelson Performance tuned ECU Cold Air Intake New Sub(old ones are junk) Headers Exhaust And drive it.

Those pics are from it sitting in his garage. Wish it was mine, I would be deep in restoration of my 69 GMC!

Re: 2002 Xtreme Blazer
Thanks. I like it myself....lol She is going to get a little TLC when I get home. New computer, battery (wife let it die), get the drivers door painted and a spot that is bubbling right behind the drivers door, replace the fuel pressure regulator. That's pretty much it till after I get my 69 GMC complete, then I will check off the rest of the stuff on the above mentioned list.
This is just my daily driver.
