CL blazer---not mine
Looks like torsion boxes are cut out of it, and seller asking $36K? Is the highlander really that desirable?
I've seen some blazers in good condition go for some good numbers lately. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Bl...US_Cars_Trucks |

Re: CL blazer---not mine
Looks nice but it is concerning the way the torsion boxes are missing. It would make me question what other shortcuts were made in the build.

Re: CL blazer---not mine
I wonder if it's a true Highlander - would like to see the SPID

Re: CL blazer---not mine
I don't think it will get anywhere close to 36k. It does seem like the market has changed and Blazers are bringing much more money than in the recent past. Wish I hadn't sold mine. I would like to replace it, but it's tough finding a decent deal right now.

Re: CL blazer---not mine
I thought I knew my stuff and maybe I call them something else, but what are torsion boxes?

Re: CL blazer---not mine
Torsion boxes are a major structural part of the truck. I can't imagine why they are not there.

Re: CL blazer---not mine
Hard to tell what's under all the " crud" that he covered with the paint under the truck and the lack of the rocker box makes me question a lot more. 36k and the thing should be almost perfect. Maybe I'm just out of touch.
