Does anyone daily drive their blazer?
Hey guys, I’m a former multiple c10 and 79 2wd blazer owner. One I had kids I sold those vehicles for something newer and safer for the family. I’m now ready to get back into a blazer or jimmy specifically. I prefer a 73-75 because those don’t need smog in California. I also have a 5.3 on the engine stand in my garage. Question is who here daily drives their old blazer or jimmy? I remember my 79 and loved it. Room for kids, bucket seats console, room for dog in the back. Never should have sold it. What your guys thoughts?

I don't see a negative except for theft. I know it could get stolen at home as easily as anywhere else, but still, you're attracting more attention when you get it out daily. We can't live in a bunker either. So... No downside, right?:lol:

I hear ya. I too would be afraid that so many eyeballs would get to see it everyday

Don't daily mine but hey if you really want to make it theft proof put it on airbags. :)
Can't even get a jack under the body of mine when it's layed out. |

I daily drive my 1979 Blazer everyday as a college student down here in Texas. for almost a year now. I had a problem with overheating over long road trips but as people will tell you a factory fan shroud does wonders. I think I am getting right around 11 MPG so definitely a drinking problem but with gas at 1.95 a gallon life is great.

I DD my '85 Suburban, it's absolutely perfect. My GF has 3 kids and I have a dog so it works awesome for my family. 5.3 and air ride makes it a perfect daily driver.
I have an '83 K5 in the garage now I'm doing a lot of work to, for it to also be a DD for the family. I think it'll be perfect to have 2, the Suburban for 3 seasons and the K5 for year round. The kids love riding in them and I can't drive new appliances (new cars), I have to have something with character. |

I should have said earlier, 4x4 should be fine. 2wd Blazers I would worry about.
