I've had her for 5 months now, so it was time to get the '71 Blazer dirty. Plenty of mud around Tulsa because its been raining for almost 3 months straight by this point. The new front driveshaft and new 4.56 gears up front worked great. It went a lot better than expected: Nothing broke, didn't roll, and didn't get stuck! My buddy's Jeep (on 33s) actually made it out of the pit without any harm. There was some really soft sand at Keystone Dam, and I threw in the last picture for your amusement - she buried herself so far in the sand that it took me 3 yanks to get her out.

I like the way you cover your face but not hers, heh.

We will have to get together once I get mine running.

67Steven: I have no idea who she is, so that makes her anonymous already!

RicksTrucks: Sadly, the truck's getting loaded up onto a trailer in a week to head with me down to Houston for work. It would be great to get out and romp with a few of these Blazers. The black top and hood are going to be ridiculously hot down there in August, so probably just night cruising for a month or so.

Thanks! They're 38x15.5 R15 TSLs on about 6" suspension lift (front is all spring and the back is part block/part spring) and 3" body lift.
