I always preferred the look of the Jimmy to the S-10 honestly. Maybe because that was my first vehicle but still.

Even though it's basically the same truck except with a roof over the whole thing, it felt different. Like it sat higher and had a more aggressive look to it, it felt bigger.
[QUOTE=Second-gear-of-mgear;32826811]Pull your back seat down and open it from the inside. Better than having to cut it.[/QUOTE]
There isn't any sort of release on the inside, I might be able to get it from the taillight cover but I'm pretty sure it's at least a foot in there in an area I can't put my hand nor see into.
[QUOTE=Waffle99;32833069]I fear potholes and any kind of speedbumps with that.[/QUOTE]
I clear speed bumps just fine. And I don't like hitting pot holes even at stock height... I prefer my wheels when they're not bent.
[QUOTE=DPKiller;32833171]Blaster, WASH AND WAX YO CAR!
And very nice height. What happens if your wheel is turned and you go over a speed bump?
Does the tire make contact with the fender or do I have a bad imagination?[/QUOTE]
It's been raining lately leave me alone D:
If I take it slow it won't rub... but if I go over it faster than I should be then yes, it'll rub.
Coilovers are adjustable, I can raise it in 10 minutes if I felt like it.

Wut? The Jimmy was the Blazer rebadge. The S-10 was identical to the [i]Sonoma[/i].
And yet the Jimmy, Blazer, S-10, Sonoma, etc. all still look exactly the same. You could take half the body parts off of an s-10 and put them on a wrecked Jimmy or Blazer etc. and no one would ever know the difference.

[QUOTE=Tukimoshi;32835630]You make me want to paint my rims. I got a similar-ish truck with shitty stock rims, just washed it 10 minutes ago though. :D

(Like i said, you can take half the body parts and interchange them. The rear end is different because it's a pickup but the whole front clip is the same, etc.)
Hell i think the magazines i used to get for parts for the Jimmy had all of those vehicles in the same mag, simply because they are so similar.
Got my new mirrors today!

I really need to wash the bugs off...
That truck is so sweet
I'm loving the side steps and bug shield
What kind of engine is in that thing? It looks bigger than my truck, is that a V6?

Its just a little 2.3L I4. which means i get about 20-25 mpg. It doesn't feel under powered or anything... at least not to me. mind you, my last car was one of these

There's something about black and white cars that I just love
Either entirely black like my new Jeep will be or white with many black pieces like your truck

It's my dad's. I'm mad jelly.
[QUOTE=Tukimoshi;32849321]What year? I'm driving a '96 S10 with a little 4 Banger in it and there's no way I'm getting 20-25mpg.[/QUOTE] Its an '05 and its rated at 19 city 25 highway, but I drive very conservatively. I never let it go above 2200rpm when accelerating. also this truck has been taken care of over the years, its only owner was a 80 year old man and he drove it very gently.
btw, fucking awesome old dodge up there ^
Worked on a 2003 Honda CRV... Surprising easy to get up on the lift, just diagnosed it for today,
tommarow we(me) are doing brakes, front sway bar end links, and basic maintenance.
i want a lift. :(
Both of us want lift's :< And a garage would be nice too!
Man than dodge looks wicked. Makes me want to paint mine black, or atleast fix all the rust and get the body really nice. I think it's the rims that really sell that truck for me though, give it a more aggressive,muscle like stance. Think I'll lower the front of my truck along with just a little in the rear to give it thagressive stance.
Rims are stock Royal SE rims, it's a full option truck with power windows, tilt, etc.
Very wicked truck. I almost bought it off of my dad but I am looking into a '41 Chevy instead.
flipped my BOV, work both way but was leaking, hope it lessen the leak a bit
car is spraying coolant all over my hood
should be fun

My schools auto shop has two lifts.. I personally want a lift also :C
Lift master race here
Too bad mine has been damaged and in storage for like a year. :/
replaced bushings and link arms and brakes on a 93 grand cherokee, had to cut high tension cable because of what me and my dad had to do to move the front axle into position, so there was probably 1-1.2 tons on tension on this cable, has the be the scariest thing ever, cutting high tension cable, also, the inside bit of the front disks was so worn down it had holes in it and what was there was about 1-2 MM thick
I think I might have done a bad thing.

Picking up a ZJ tie rod tomorrow to replace it.
Timing chain done now trying to put transmission back in and its being a gigantic bitch. Its so cramped and awkward to maneuver, guess it doesn't really help that there's only about a foot between ground and car. Still got a new water pump and accessory belt to do but it definitely feels like I'm making progress.

It's not a perfect paintjob but it's better, and it was cheap enough. I'll fix more dents later and keep working on it.
