Both sound overpriced, but the Blazer is a better deal.

well lets see....



the blaser's lifted, tired and ready to go, and the BII is bone stock, pretty much a POS to begain with, and require $$ left kits of custom fab work to lift and will need about everything replaced (bigger motor, better tranny, better t-case, better axles, new rubber......)


Buy the Blaser and wheel it that day!!


Rust is fixable, or take the chasiss/drivetrain and slap some other cool body on it.


Oh-ya, and the top comes off the blaser. :cool:
