I like the blazer, it's a nice ride. I'm not crazy about the roll bar but it could save you one day.

**1971K54X4** · 09-06-2007, 08:31 AM

That's a great looking Blazer. I would be very proud of it. The full roll bar might grow on a guy after awhile.

Nice looking rig. You may want to look at this thread before you pull the roll bar.

Welcome to the board from socal... Nice ride, but I don't understand the poll question. I like the rollbar, but even more important is the link bouncy posted.

pcwillsie · 09-06-2007, 12:23 PM

i for one like the roll bar and wish i had one like it for my blazer

usual510 · 09-06-2007, 08:51 PM

Thanx for all the welcomes. i'm 50/50 on the roll bar. Wish it had the half bar{i have to open the door to roll down the window} So I think Imgonna pull it, and see what i can get in trade for it. This thing will only be driven on the streets, and I certainly dont plan to dick around like the post showed. That sux! poor blazer!

bouncytruck · 09-07-2007, 12:19 AM

Sounds like your cage is poorly designed. You could look at removing the front section and just leaving the main loop.

I don't have a roll bar either. I only run the streets and I run stock tires/wheels.

Post some more pics when you get a chance!

Very nice truck. Keep the roll bar, you may want to put a bikini top on there one day.

**Yukon Jack** · 09-07-2007, 04:24 PM

Welcome to the board. Good looking K5.

usual510 · 09-07-2007, 11:12 PM

Thanx everyone,. Bouncy im also running regular 16's w a smoother goodyear,makes for a better street ride. Its got a 396 in it, i wondered if they got that out of a c10. i'll post more pics soon. I got all the bolts off the roll bar except one in the front, its behind the wheel well! I'm not even sure how he managed to get it on there!!!!!!!! So as soon as i figure that out,its comin off. how did guys join your clubs??? I see there is a 71 club, Id love to be a part of that!

Go to "USER CP" in the menu under the header. Then go to "group memberships" in the lefthand menu. Take your pick from there.
