Blazer Bash 2020 last minute thrash
- Thread starter ktmoutfront
- Start date
Thrashing...
Too busy thrashing to get ready for KoH to worry about Blazer Bash right now...
First world problems.
Bump for the work days counting down. See post one.
Anybody ever use Blazer Bash as their shakedown run after a freshly built rig? I can’t be the only one, right? Lol.
Lots have done it.....
Results vary.
Results vary.
A lot have not ended well. But some were ok.
okay so squeeze in a shakedown run ahead of time. Roger that.
I always tell guys. Flex it if you change the suspension. Otherwise DD it or drive the crap out of it around town. Getting some miles on it anywhere is better than nothing
In your case, you want that before the road trip. Make sure the shifters and hubs work (David had to rework his in Moab last year)
Definitely getting some of that in. Thrashing to get my truck ready for a little pre-trip up to Black Rock Mountain State park in two weeks. About 1,000 miles round trip. So that’ll give me a good idea of its driveability.
Also. At that beach trip I had both lockers locked and the 208 in 4Low because there was no way I was going to get stuck in front of a thousand other beach goers lol. So, so far, everything is going well.

Im in same boat haha
Getting all the drivtrain a good break in. Then in a week or two I’m building the cage and I should be ready
Got about 300 miles on ol' Murphy. Found a few issues and need to finish up some stuff that @blazinzuk and I ran out of time to do at his shop.
