What to do..?
« on: July 14, 2008, 10:01:16 am »
Hey chaps,

Just been offered this 84' burb for my blazer as a straight swap...totally indecisive at the moment,i owned one a few year back but it was ex USAF and was pretty plain.
its a 350/350 2wd and apart from the dent in the drivers side rear door its real solid.
Don't you just hate it when people offer you a trade.

Do you need more room and don't need 4x4?

Could do with the room,4x4 aint a biggy were i live..the thing putting me off is the extra sheet metal to deal with when it goes...i love the blazer but the burb is a whole different beast,i'm gonna put it into the hands of you guys and start a poll.. ???.

I am partial to subs, but, to each his own. Depends on what you like and what you need it for.
By the way, ensure no dead bodies come with the sub, i see it is from the Coroner's Office. And, what is under that white blanket? Another body?

If you throw it in our hands, put up a pic of your blazer as well.

I am still freaked about the white blanket lying in front of the coronrer's suburban.

 ;D thats from a local show,its my mate under the blanket...the sub took 3rd place that day,noy bad for a daily runner.
I think the best way i could go around it is to borrow it for a week and see how it goes.

I think you did a pretty nice job with the blazer.  I know after all the work i've done on my truck i wouldn't consider many trades at all.

Thats what is praying on my mind,with the blazer i know what does need doing and whats been done,sorta like a family member now.. ;D... and knowing my luck i'll do the trade and the burb will blow up a week down the road.
Plus the blazer can shed its roof when needed...its in the blazers favor at the minute.. ;)
