The cool thing is he drove it all the way from Spokane to New Mexico and now its a sand dune toy. I really miss it and want it back but at least its got a good home and is getting used the way it should.

Maybe he will find this forum and add to it some time.
Hey johnnywagon, i am the guy that bought your blazer a while ago. just wanted to let you know that i found the thread!! I will post some pics for you soon. Update for you, the truck is doing great! Made it from Spokane to here in a day and a half. It didnt really like Wyoming much with the rolling hills. The only thing i have had to do is replcae the starter and a wire. i will have to replace the front axle seals here pretty soon but its holding up like a champ. I take it out to the Pacos river every few months and do some camping and wheeling.

Sooner or later it will be back up in Spokane because i own a house up there. I am trying to make my way back there over the next few years but we will see. One last thing, if i am ever in the position that i need to sell it, it will be back to you.

Awesome!! Glad to hear it. If you're ever back up here PM me or you can find me at THE GENERAL STORE AUTO PARTS. I'm always here. Looking forward to seeing some pictures!
.....and yes I might want to buy it back sometime in the distant future if its for sale. Glad you are having fun with it. Its a great truck.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix

This is my action picture of Blazer use. The finger I am camped on is about 15' wide. The digging at the bottom of the drop is a shark I found. Over 500 teeth, cartilidge and two vertebrae.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix

Cool pic of the roughed up white Blazer, reminds me of my new build on a 86 Short box I am getting ready to start in the spring.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix

Haven’t contributed to this thread in a long time. Don’t have anything too exciting, but they are better than static driveway shots. Most of my action shots are GoPro videos from Desert Trips.











Does hauling arse at 87 MPH on I40 on the NM/AZ border count as action? . It is surprising how stable and solid the old girl feels at high speeds on the highway. Just as powerful and stable as any new truck, just wish I had cruise control. We had it up to 93 a few miles before this picture was taken.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix

At Northwest OHV park in Bridgeport, Tx. The Beast had a flat, so I took the little Jimmy out for some fun! I hit the frame a couple times, but it was still a blast!

These are all poser pics, I found a little hill and I wanted to see the articulation on a stock Jimmy. The passenger side rear tire *is* off the ground there O.O haha
