Blazer or Cruiser???

The way I see it, either way you will end up with Chevy drivetrain under whichever shell looks best to you. You won't want to run the old toyota engine or running gear if it is going to be a serious wheeler (let the arguments and tall tales begin), so just decide which would be easier to swap the Chevy parts into. A wise man once told me "Why go Toyota when all the Toyota parts have to go?" Here is an idea...Just get some old FJ40 emblems and tack weld them somewhere on the body of the Blazer, actually GO wheeling and live the dream on the trail, not in the gargage.

I drive a toyota (4runner) so i'm a toyota guy. I even wanted an FJ when I first started. After last year I am glad I don't have a classic rig! I have found that most of the trails that I want to do are getting me into body damage. I know that If I had a cruiser I would have to have another rig for the funnest trails...

my point-a crunch to the sheet metal of a blazer would hurt a lot less than the sheet metal of a classic cruiser. for that reason I vote blazer!

That does make a lot of sense. Can I change my vote

I would go with the blazer, cuz all that shiz will bolt right in. just think, a weekend of wrenching and you coulg go beat the piss out of the blazer. It could take you years to do the cruiser(i would know cuz i now have one in my garage and it been there for a couple of years ).
