Re: The $500 beater Blazer Z69 offroader
Fixed up this POS on the cheap and it's making a great winter beater. It's amazing what difference in aesthetics some paint, wheels and stickers can make.

Had to fix the rear axle, that was the last video. Swapped some offroad/street blazer parts around.

Also did ball joints, fuel lines, brake lines, (used) caliper & rotor on one corner, ebrake hardware with ghetto actuator. Painted the grille black, did my red/black bowtie treatment along with some Z69 stickers. The Z28 wheel offset and some rear spacers actually help with stability a little...widens track by 4" in front and 7" in back. I yanked out the terrible head unit install and put the leftover factory CD player in...been rocking some DMX. Sanded the ragged and prickly shift knob and swapped the metric cluster to my US one from the Gambler.
Lots of fun to have an #aintcare winter beater. Dump the clutch and kick the ass sideways and slide around. Then if it gets stuck just put in 4WD and drive out. Good times.
