I'm sorry to hear that your super blazer won't be making the trip. But we understand life getting in the way. Glad you are coming on anyway. Looking forward to meeting you.

Trailer, truck bed & then there's always the crew cab...

So far I'm pretty sure I'm bringing down a set of 04 Tahoe seats for someone.

Want the 'short' list?
350 engine, 350/205 combo, TPI set up, TBI set up, serp belt assembly, big block headers, alloy side bars, blazer wheel well carpet, core 700r, blazer tub w/chassis...

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners

I was seriously considering this trip...but with the engine fire and the engine needing a rebuild, I don't have the $$ or the time this year. I'm out. Maybe next year...

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners

Hey Banana, I'll be leaving from the Virginia Beach area. We'll have to meet up down the road somewhere. I'm deployed in Iraq right now but will be back around 2nd week of June. My unit should be on block leave during the time of the trip. I would like to leave around the 15th or 16th at the latest.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners

Banana, That sound's great. I'll let everyone know when I get back and we can definitely meet up on the road. We'll have to try and get some more Blazers to convoy with us. That would be great. Good Times for everyone.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners

We need to gather a convoy heading down from the north.

Not driving my blazer but maybe I should haul the empty trailer with me just in case...in case a brother breaks down or in case I find something I need to haul home.
