$600

looks like it could be fun...if the tires are in good condition and have some decent tread its almost worth it just for those and scrap metal lol.

that thing must barely move through mud - that 2.8 can't be putting out a lot of power

the only way that thing is moving with a 2.8 is if it has some like 5.XX gears in it and i doubt it cause it would have said so in the add but yea even if i had the cash i wouldnt grab it id rather get a full size with a v8 in it which you can still find around for in around a grand and you would be better off in the long run

Sell the rack and buy a cheap jeep that you can keep in Fort Myers and thrash around when you come.

lawlz. hell no, i ain't selling my roof rack.

i'd love to buy another 4x4 or beater car like that, but i have no space to park it at my house. i would totally trade my procharger kit for some POS mudbuggy if i had room.

Put another 4x4 on the roof rack just have to find something with a short wheelbase.

I wouldnt be caught dead in that heap.



As for the S-10 Blazer, if it was a pickup Id already have it sitting in my driveway.

350 = shattered diffs. The IFS in those isn't exactly the strongest thing on the planet. Plenty of 4.3 guys breaking stuff. Besides, you won't get the swap done for anywhere near $500, even if you have a good spare 350 lying around. The trans won't bolt up(converter niether), thus trans swap; anything other than a 700r trans and you'll be looking for a different t-case and driveshafts.

They are good bodies to use though, light weight and no bad blind spots. Personally I'd much rather have it as a blazer than a p/u. I'm 6'2", I can't even get remotely close to sitting comfortable in any of the older body style standard cab pick-ups(full sizes included). Besides, it's nice to not have to get out to grab another beer....

Yeah, Id only want that thing to play in. Itd get towed to wherever it was I was going.
And Id want a solid axle up front. But who am I kidding, I cant even afford tires for my truck as it is now haha. Just seems like a good start (if it were a pickup) at $600.
