Smile Why do the trucks get all the love?

I don't really understand why the truck section of this forum has like 10 X the amount of activity on it at all times compared to us over here. I mean you can make these things convertibles! That's awesome! Plus, you can actually have your family ride along with you in a Blazer or Jimmy unlike the trucks.

Re: Why do the trucks get all the love?

Not onlt is it numbers, but most of the blazer is based on the truck. That means only a part of a lower production unit is different enough for other board interest.
