that is a complete waste of sheet metal and the fool that built it is a waste of oxygen. blazers are meant to be lifted not dropped

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

lol i thought dropped trucks were bad too until i drove one. Lots of power and a good ride for cheap. find a car as fast as a good dropped truck and see how much more it costs.

go to albuquerque new mexico and their everywhere. i live in an area where the neighbors are asses who lay telephone poles in the road as speed bumps.(took out the front strut tower on my subaru) so lowered trucks are a bad idea

I really like that Blazer but do you notice how, when it is dropped and the top is painted light...the bottom black that the top looks way too tall? I have seen this on other dropped trucks as well. It needs about a 1" chop to get it back to the right proportions. Just my 0.02...still wouldn't kick it out of my garage!!!!

I think I will have to go out on a limb here and agree. The only reason that Blazers were built was the offroading/camping craze of the late 60's/early 70's...well, that and the Ford Bronco, International Scout, and the Jeeps. The 2wd Blazer evolved from the 4wd for whatever reason...I'm sure that GM didn't foresee 2wd Blazers being the next big thing, which is why there are less 2wd's than 4wd's. I could be wrong, but I am partial to 4x4's and it shows, I guess. That being said, that Blazer is still cool...but it needs a choptop to compensate for the paint and lowering, like Progress said.

i thinks its all crap do whatever makes you happy!
heck theres some hillbilly here that has a lifted
cadddy hearse on 36inch ground hawgs i think it should be bagged on 20's myself but then again opinions vary...... (no offense to any hillbillys)

Awesome truck! I would love to have my Jimmy look that nice. I'm glad I converted my 4x4 to 2wd. The great thing about having an open mind is that you can appreciate more than one or two things. The great thing about having a closed mind is that you always have something to b!tch about. Now I'll go back to wasting sheet metal and oxygen.
