Blazer Bash 2023 last minute thrash.

[ZooMad75]

Welp, I'm ready. Knowing there wasn't a snowball's chance in hell I stuff an 8.1 in the Crawlabagoin time for BB, I needed another plan. My little S10 ZR2 as trusty as a 200k 20 year old trucklet can be, hasn't been taken further than a four-hour round trip to Pueblo to visit folks down there. I've got to be there for obvious reasons so to eliminate any chance of possible failure I let my fingers do the talking and set up a Jeep for the week.

It's funny I can rent one for a week out of Denver for $250 less than renting a Jeep locally in Moab for 3 days.

So if anybody sees me beginning to attempt anything stupid, please stop me. I'm pretty sure I'll behave but I thought that last year and we all know how that ended up.

did you get a Rubicon package?

 

[nvrenuf]

Buy the insurance!

did you get a Rubicon package?

Unlikely. Probably a good thing too.

 

[Bent77]

No polar bear love?

Maybe you will get ducked

 

[EddieExpedition]

New springs front and back along with new locking hubs. Just the standard before Moab maintenance…

 

[ZooMad75]

Maybe you will get ducked

I might fall over laughing if that happens.

Got my original list done and few add ons, and couple little things that I wanted to do. Some nut and bolt checks done will do more at BB23.
Now to figure out tools and spares. Bringing an enclosed trailer, I may bring to much

6 days till I leave on the 7th

I hauled some scrap off after 9.5 hrs at work, went and got 9 ton of gravel for the driveway, but the doubler still looks like this.

Probably 9 hours of work to complete, if the 9 trend holds...

I was just getting ready to rattle your cage and see how things were going.

Yeah, this week has been another hectic one.
Not real pleased with myself for needing so much work still, but I can't go back and change it now.
Plow through..

Getting close to having it all packed up. Just a few more little things then we will be Moab bound on Tuesday. Let’s gooo!!!

 

[K85 Octane]

Still for sale and closer to wheeling than some of ya’lls rigs HAHAHAHA

Enjoy fellas!!!

Well, only put in about 8 hrs. Decided that my old bones had had enough, and considering that my dumb brain couldn't put crappy fast drying paint on the "new" 203 box. The VanSickle stuff doesn't dry quickly, but @ZooMad75 is correct that it's tough! So it will sit overnight.
Both sections are ready to go.

It’s why we call it powdercoat in a can!

 

[500$k5]

New " modified " spring hanger installed. New drag link installed. Grille, pressure washed and repainted. Drag link angle tested!

 

[ktmoutfront]

The flex in that thing, and the way it works so well on the trail, is crazy.

 

[mrk5]

Definitely one of my favorite trucks.

This ^ that flex is amazing….and that is one beefy spring hanger. I like to see someone else still running push pull and having it work for them as well
