New truck......again.

My 2000 GMC Jimmy was totaled a week before christmas. Driver's side frame rail was bent in two places, front diff and cv shaft busted, just a mess. Not my fault obviously, but still these past few weeks have been very stressful. Yesterday, after a 2hr drive, and waiting at this small dealer all day for the title, i finally brought home a new truck. Its a 2000 Blazer ZR2 with 69k on it. Has almost all the options for a ZR2 and i am the second owner. Heres a pic of it before i drove it off the lot. I will post more pics shortly.

Thanks Dino. I had to install two front rotors and rear hatch actuator for state inspection and i need to flush the coolant out but other than that its good to go. Next up is to install my pioneer speakers from the jimmy, put together a flowmaster exhaust, and install some lift shackles in the rear to fix the saggy ass .

Re: New truck......again.

Well I've owned the truck for a few months and it has changed alot. I've done all the mods in my sig along with the usuall repairs. Will it ever be "done"....probably not . Will it ever be perfict.... of course not , but i like it . Still a few things to do in the near future to keep me busy. I installed a set of BFG AT's yesterday so i thought it was a good time to post a couple of updated pics.

Re: New truck......again.

Nice look'in truck. I always really liked the looks of the 2 door Blazers expecially the 4x4s. I wish I could justify owning one, but our needs require the 4 door version.
