You could make it no problem. If you get stuck, I've got a winch...  :chuckle: :chuckle:

Hmmm...might have to finally pull the engine out of my '72 K5 Blazer and get to work on it.  I have all the new parts in the barn, just had too many other obligations recently.

Is the trail wide enough for a full size Blazer?

Sounds like a fun weekend.

Been reading the post and sounds fun! Would this be a fun trail for our three year old daughter without traumatizing her? :chuckle: :dunno:

Yes Sir, I love mine.  4" lift w/2" extra body lift, 37" boggers, built SBC 400ci.  She's definitely a billy goat.  But, took her bogging a few years back and sucked some muddy water into the engine.  She now has low blood pressure as bearings were damaged by silt.  Need to pull engine and freshen her up!  Have new cam, bearings, oil pump etc.  But, other projects have been keeping me busy.  Went out behind barn this weekend and uncovered her, as I planned to ressurect her soon!

We should make a mount so you can put it on the front of your trucks.

The weekend of July 27th will not work for me. That is the weekend they are dedicating the statue of Doug Vose III in Concrete. I have been working with the family on this project for almost a year. Going to be a big day. Multiple HALO jumps into the airport, static and other helicopter displays... big day for everyone.
