beside the blazer which is small, not to big, dont get and expidition, no disrespect to who has one, but they are not gas saver, capable yes, not a fan of imports, but on the truck side, is a little different, a diesel you have to know how they work and be able to work on them if not they are not cheap taking them to a shop
for power on gas a chevy or ford, and 50 50 on economy depend on how you treat it or drive it, also parts are relative cheap compare to import
they are some good deal out there, just have to have pations and it will come to you
and once you get your ride, if you need some help ask, there is never a stupid question, is stupid not to ask

 

the only reason i asked about the zr2 blazer is because it comes with the off road package from the factory which is the same as the z71 package on the pickups. id perfer to stay chevy as i am a chevy guy (stupid i know but lets face it we all like our own trucks). i saw a couple zr2s for realitively cheap ~5k range for a 2000 model.

Ladder-type Frame with modified mounting points
100mm wider track (3.9 inches wider than regular S-10)
Increased ground clearance (Approx 3" over Regular S-Series 4x4)
Enhanced front (7.25" ring gear) and rear (8.5" ring gear) axles w/ 3.73:1 rear-axle ratio
Larger wheel and axle bearings
31 x 10.50" BFG A/T Tires (Pickup), 31 x 10.50" BFG Longtrails (Blazer)
46mm gas pressurized Bilstein Monotube shocks
Rear track bar (pickup), front anti-sway bar (blazer)
Skid plates
Front/rear disc brakes (1998-2005), disc/drum brakes (1994-1997)
The wheel length is longer than a 4X4 by 1.6 feet

i know all of you know more then me about this stuff but this is what the zr2 package came with from factroy so it seems to me this would be my best opiton since i would have to do minor stuff to get it ready to go. plus it will be a good starter vehical. again any input is appriciated.

haha freddy i wish i could buy that thing looks like a beast lol. i just found a 1999 zr2 blazer for 2600. might pick it up if i can.

 

the blazer is good, that is good info, and not bad spec for a blazer2, prize is not bad

 

yeah i mean i figure i can get it since its kinda set up already and its cheap, has a v6 so its a little better on gas. plus if i really get in to trails and stuff i can always build it up.

 

I think Foamy was talking about picking up a Duramax not to long ago right?

Wonder if he ever got one..

Why are you selling the big rig? I've been thinking about selling the Jeep and picking up a Sammi for fun and something with better gas mileage to dd.

 

expensive fuel, 10mpg, im gonna kill ymself jumping in one of these days, i found another exploder i want, and my current exploders broke with a disassembled d44 in the garage

 

Makes sense.
