so for awhile now i've been looking for a bronco to sas on 1tons since i figure my truck is bound to break something eventually if i keep mudding it like this. while i was looking for broncos i found this blazer though. i know it's a chevy but i think it's a pretty great deal. what do yall think? oh course it needs finishing though, different tires, gears, etc, but it looks like a damn good start to me.

I would, its pretty much got a new motor and transmission in it, just needs some new tires for one, but hell it looks like most mud trucks ive seen. Remeber it aint gotta be perfect for what your using it for.

 

I guess its all up to you, I wouldn't get any joy out of having a toy truck that is 10ft tall and then jumping into a F150 thats 8ft tall lol.

You should get a supra!

 

yeah that's a big plus for it, and he said its got about 420hp so he must have some things done to the motor. haha hell thats more power than my freakin truck. in the ad he offers to let you test drive it so it must not be too far from finished. i'll bet he just hasn't done the gears yet.

yep whatever i end up with i plan on giving it a nice rattle can paint job, putting rollon bed lining pretty much the whole interior, and eventually put a cheap marine stereo system in it.

 

hahaha yeah that would be kind of a let down but i've got two buddies that have blazers too for mud toys and they're very fun to play around in. im just really not looking forward to the day when my truck breaks in the middle of a mud pit and then i have no DD.

 

Cool deal man, it seems like he has taken care of the most expensive stuff already. He must of ran out of money after the motor and trans. Sounds like a fair deal.

 

yeah for real. i've been doing a lot of research on bronco sas's here recently and they're actually really easy but dana 60's are freakin expensive and so are leaf packs and steering.

should be a fun toy if i get it, tires are going to be one of the most expensive things about it.

 

Well one good thing about it being a mud truck, you dont have to get it all done over weekend. If you did get a bronco and sas it, just check out deals on the internet and be patient and you could find good deals on stuff.

 

Do it, im die hard ford but had a buddy with a truck like that in highschool and it was bulletproof.

 

lol the other weekend we broke my buddy's blazers axle in half but this ones got 1 tons so it should be good.

 

I'd pull the trigger on it if I had the money and everything checks out okay.

 

update: i called the guy and me and a buddy are riding up there saturday to check it out and probably get it.

another question though, my truck is capable of pulling a dual axle trailer and the weight of the blazer correct?
