I just want to do a little something to my blazer to make it perform better. Even if its 1MPG thats still an improvement. I was looking at the Safari bar from westin, but I would rather have the full size push bar.
I like the look of the front end of A_tacks blazer, I'd just rather have the pushbar
EDIT: Would the PIAA 520 series lights or the KC 5x2 lights work with the safari bar?

I was just looking at stylinconcepts.com and I saw their cool force air intake... Would the be good paired with the Tornado?

Filled up again today
10gallons/145 miles
thats 14.5MPG and I babied the gas... I still don't understand why I'm getting such bad gas mileage... I drive in overdrive, I do the speed limit, I don't punch it. I'm getting what my dads truck gets (Silverado 1500 4.8L v8 ext. short bed) and he doesn't exactly follow the limit

thats about average for your truck.... the 4x4 gets worse gas mileage than the 2wd.... some crap about extra weight and friction in the front end..... your doing better than me.... I get about 12-13 around town... the same my dad gets in his 03 5.3L Silverado Z71 Ext. Cab...lol

damn you seem to know a lot about blazers... Hopefully I can improve it to at least 16 or 17. I suppose I should check my tire pressure. I use synthetic oil, so i hope that helps. I'll try to get a new air intake PDQ.
