What mods you got planed after its running?

First, I want to tint the windows and install an alarm/remote starter on it. And fix the other problems it has too, like the suspension and all. Oh, and HIDs are a must. :D

Still unsure at this point. I have thought about possibly lifting it and using it for hunting, now that I don't have a ATV anymore. No engine mods though, other than getting it running and keeping it running. :lol:
My brother and his wife that you met, that's who gave me this Blazer.

And if I like driving this thing, it might end up being my DD and the Burban will get a lot more driveway time.

Not to bad looking of a unit Scott. Too bad it has those specific issues. Never seen a door jam quite like that. :eek:

It must have been an issue with the Blazers and Jimmys. Almost every one I see in the Junkyards looks just like that. I have been looking for a good one to cut out and replace this one.

I hear ya about not sinking money into it until you get the title. That makes perfect sense. You don't want to dump money into it and then have them go, "oh, hey.. we want that back.. Oh, it's running now? Thanks!!" :uhoh:

Actually it was running when I got it. It quit working during the time it was parked in my yard. I drove it off the trailer and into my back yard. :dunno:
But it has several other problems too. The drivers door latch is all fWONked up.

And the entire front suspension is shot. It needs all new bushings and ball joints. And the mirror was knocked off the drivers door.
How did that happen? :ohnoes:
