I am selling my Rig. Its in the for sale section. i figured you domestic guys would understand its rarity and awesome condition. I have tons of pictures there and also have a video showing it on a little drive, and the engine running etc. They are VERY RARE! Only 1% of the 2 doors were diesel, and mine is the only one made exactly like it in 1997. To much to list here, and I just wanted to tell you guys. This is not the for sale post. How many of you guys have these on this site? i am a heavy member of the dieselplace forum.

I have a 94 two door Blazer with the 6.5 turbo and love it. I miss driving it everyday as it now sits at my mom's house while I'm stationed in Italy. Which reminds me I need to call my buddy and have him go drive it on a lil road trip for me just to make sure it gets some exercise.
I have completely replaced most of the interior my self to include installing Jeep Grand Cherokee front seats in place of the original 245000 mile stock seats. Fabricating a center console with a Ram laptop mount and room to mount future radios, using the center armrest section of a Dodge truck seat (the kind with storage in the seat back/armrest). I also installed a drawer/storage system behind the back seat (about the only stock piece left in the interior) to hole recovery equipment, spares and what not.
I had to replace the transmission a while back and found a great deal on line for one. While I had it out I took the time to scrub the underside of the cab and coat it with duplicolor bed liner which really helped quieten up the road noise. I installed a flat plate cooler mounted under the rear floorboard and a ten inch fan. This along with the stock in radiator cooler really helps keep the temps down. I plan to move the same sized oil cooler there to help better manage the engine temps buy allowing cooler air to the radiator.
My plans when I get back include a repaint and minor rust repair, replacing the current nonfunctional A/C system and to keep driving the truck for a long time to come. This is the best road trip vehicle I have ever owned period!!! I wouldn't think twice about driving it cross country coast to coast as it sits now.
