Re: what do you guys think

I would say it's up toy you. I know around here, it's a rare find to get a 2wd blazer so I would say go for it. I also am in the mini truck scene and I can tell you that the blazer will be worth more cash in the long run after it's all fixed up than the nissan.

Re: what do you guys think

Re: what do you guys think

I've had several bagged/slammed mini's in the past, and I wouldn't trade my '76 2wd Blazer for one now...I'm 41 . I like the size and the fact that it will only increase in value with time.
