    The guy at the light did not know you were turning left. The fast blinking indicator means the front signal was not working.

      Ummmm I was literally I. The left turn only lane, so that alone should let you know I am turning. I also just checked my signals and the front left works just fine.

      @@AutoAuctionRebuilds In the video before you pressed the dome override button the indicator was blinking fast. After when you were at the house it was normal. I will have to check mine to see if it does the same or if it is something electrical causing yours to do that. My truck just turns the Dome light off when you open the doors.

      Had a 2001 that I got for free put a lil money into it and drove it! It got my mother down the side of a mountain behind a bulldozer during the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise CA I'd probably still have it if insurance hadn't totaled it since the fire melted all the exterior plastics.

    The tailgate should have a button built-in to the keyhole the glass should pop up first then the tailgate itself will have a handle on the inside to allow it to fold down.
    Since this vehicle is manual everything you might need to use the key.

    Personally, I wouldn't over do it with the decals..
    Hood, No.. Back/side windows definitely..
    Maybe even a smaller one on the tailgate window..
    I just think it might be a bit overkill to put a huge one on the hood..
    Tint: Yes..
    Paint: Yes..
    Can't wait to see the outcome..😁👍

    I have a 2000 blazer 4 door 4wd I bought 5 1/2 years ago for $1,000 at a public auction. I love that truck. It breaks a lot because I don’t drive it much but man every single time I go into it after any time of not driving it, it fires right up and drives. Sure my dash is cracked, I have a couple lights on the dash, and the steering is a little loose but man I love that little suv.

    Hi Randy! Love your channel! Keep up the great work. To unlock the rear window hatch on the blazer. You have to use the ignition key to unlock it. Take the key out. Once it’s unlocked you push the button on the tailgate then the rear window should pop open. Nice ride! I owned one. Now I drive a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 4x4 with only 38,000+ miles. Bought it as my graduation gift back in 2000 OBS Good luck! Safe travels!

    Tint the windows, lower it just a bit, not slam it. Buy some different tire & wheels for it. buff it and get it detailed up inside and under the hood. Save a bunch of money, have a cleaner rig , and see how long you are able to keep it before two people are trying to buy it at the same time.

    Randy great deal but if the paint is as good as it looks don't mess it up with a inferior paint job cause you know your not going to get a paint job That's as good as the factory one. Great job love the blazer !!!!
