Did anyone see the newest Monster garage? They made a 80-something K5 4X4 Blazer a Pikes Peak 2WD racer! Check your local listings.

I saw the whole thing twice. I was PO at the interior they gutted. I could have used those parts But it was nice to see a ZZ4 with a Vortech blower Wonder if I could do that to mine

but would it really make the 600hp they said it would?

If someone wants to buy one I'll install it and take it to the dyno. Only stipulation is that I keep it

i loved the damm thing!,the only bad side i saw about it is the they should just bolt a chevy suspension instead of cutting the crap out the frame,anyways it was a truck suspesion,but it was kind of cool to see a truck like ours getting customised in tv.

I thought this was a great episode of Monster Garage. Seeing Jesse James' hand shake at the end was cool too.....

Well that truck started a a 4x4. While they could have bolted up a complete 2wd front to it it was probably faster just to weld on a good front end with better steering set up.

Yes you can make the Chevy 2wd front work good but they didn't even have that as a starting point.

Over all it was not a bad show. Would have been better if Jesse crashed but can't have everything.

Sad part is is they paid 8K for that Blazer! I would have sold them mine for half that...and it is already 2wd and lowered!
