So I was gettin sick of all the little problems with the cavalier and the rust was gettin out of control. I wanted something with more options and i found this 2001 Bravada it has every option available for that year. Including Onstar, sunroof, bose 6 speaker stereo, 6 disc cd changer, dual heated memory seats, auto climate control, and it only has 90,000 miles. So far i love it, I feel like a million bucks in it compared to the cavalier lol. The only complaint i have is a gas mileage it only gets about 17 mpg and i drive 85 miles round trip for work but i'll be lookin into some sort of work car when i get my tax return to keep the miles down on the bravada and save some money on gas. Well onto the pics i haven't taken any interior pics yet though.

Nice buy! Seems very clean too!!

As for fuel mileage just buy little econo car like a Tercel or or pre-1995 Sentra , they hold up very well,fuel efficient better than newer econo cars and cheap maintenance.

Nice pickup!

Mine has been fine for a few years now. Should serve you fine so long as you keep up on maintenance.



The steps are coming off. It's now got larger fogs, HID's and a crank, but I want to lift it a little with some bigger tires on the stock wheels. And some bike trays for the rack.

Camping vehicle ftw.

thanks yours is lookin good too i got hid's too thats the only thing ive done to it so far. i wanna do a complete tune up plugs, wires distributor cap, rotor, fuel and air filter, tranny flush. I think its gonna need brake pads too the pedals a bit spongy. the only things i have planned for it is a double din screen, tint the front windows 35% and maybe more agressive tires and possibly a system eventually

Glad you got something less troubling so far.If you do the brake pads,I would suggest new rotors(over maching) the old ones.The cost today on new rotors is not to out of line compared to getting the old ones turned if they can be.Looks solid hope you enjoy it.

i wouldn't go right to saying its not going to be a money pit. i have 3 blazer and will never own another one ever again, first being a 99 LS. 4x4 stopped working and heater core blew. sold that one got a 2000 LT2 heater core blew on that one power steering shaft leaked and it bounced all over the road. my 3rd one another 2000 blazer this one was the biggest pos out of the 3. tranny died at 129k heater core again on this one all new shocked still didnt fix the @!#$ty ride was about to replace the leaf springs when it was hit from the back and totaled. best thing that happen to it. the car that has outlived all these blazers and is still going today is a 1998 cavalier rs with 170k on it only thing we have replaced on it was a water pump and a egr valve. I hope you have better luck then i did with the ones i had.

I forgot, mine has 2 12's in it. May be putting the indash in it too. Some people have nothing but problems, some are great. Hope yours does well for you

so far mines been just fine. My moms had 2 and they were both fine and her current one has 170k and has no probs. So yeah hopefully mine won't be a money pit cause that will be sad lol.

yeah i just want one 15 inch L7 with a big ported box and a pioneer screen and i'll be good lol



http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3877823

I had 1 10 in my blazer that made it sound nice and also kept it so if i have to put the seats down the box was not in the way.

this is my last one when it was hit buy a guy doing 45mph. ended up getting 6grand for it with 130k on it. the crash happen down in Georgia so if you guys are around that area find the junkyard it went to. has a chrome grill and sound system still in it.

im actually going to georgia next month in it lol. hopefully it makes the trip ok and does halfway decent on gas.

My friend's mom has a 2001 Blazer, and he just spent the last month fixing all the issues with it. Just another GM that made him hate GM even more than he already does lol..

from CT to GA it did really good on gas. it was avg 23-26 mpg

well on the computer thing it says the average is 17.8 mpg but thats city and highway so hopefully it gets about 20



http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3877823

You should see about 25 on the highway, providing everything is in good order. They are nice vehicles. I guess what a lot of people don't understand is that all vehicles will have their problems...especially USED ones. Just keep up on the maintainence and take care of it...lol

first snow lol



http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3877823

I'm guessing you didn't get to test out the 4WD with that amount of snow

Unfortunately no. I cant wait for a big snow because i've never owned anything four wheel drive so this winters going to be very exciting lol.



http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3877823

You'll love it! Our first 4WD was a Isuzu Rodeo and it was a beast in snow and we have had a 4WD ever since then.

Nice find with the Bravada....looks like it's in good condition!

yeah i'm pretty excited to see if this bad gas mileage is worth it lol



http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3877823

Does anyone know if the 2wd lowering kit will work for this or if they make one for 4wd? And yes i wanna lower an awd suv get over it lol.



http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3877823

nevermind i figured it out, i asked before i really did any research



http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3877823

Finally some snow!
