ok so as many of you know my blazer was stolen in january and stripped....4 days before my axles showed up for the SAS I planned on doing....


(before and after)




07 JK Rubicon Dana 44's with 4.10s and e-lockers





So I bought an 08 4.0l v6 6spd Tacoma --even has a rear e-locker (which i fricken love) 28mpg aint bad either with 260hp.....





and Now on with the good news....

I've settled with insurance and I will be buying the truck back this coming week to build it bigger and better than ever (including a starter cut out haha) 

The Blazer was my first vehicle, and still my favourite because of the work I put into it and all the memories I made with it.

here's a little video of the last time I got to play with it (I had the front diff out to replace a sheared shaft)  that also shows you 2 of my other passions....even though im too lazy to ride trials anymore haha!

stay tuned for updates....

oh yea--if anyone has any headlights/taillights they'd like to donate/sell me for cheap pm me!

welcome back.

How much did those axles cost you and where did you get them?
Want to sell them?

Wow that's a long time dealing with the insurance.  You need to spend more time here vs. s10forum :P

edit: Did you ever call the number written in the mud on your truck?

yea the whole insurance thing is a pain--i switched insurance companies about 3 months earlier to save about 30 bucks a month....lets just say it wasnt worth that....


s10forum and zr2usa got my attention because this forum had sort of slowed down...but i had still been browsing as a guest from time to time

axles cost me about 3600 canadian shipped--they're new never installed blems from mopar (paint wasn't pretty enough for em)

depends what you offer me for them...
