Building Blazer still

Man I wanna run that trail!

I was told it gets a lot harder farther up the trail but we never made it very far, it was still a good day.
Kind of a run to make sure the bugs were worked out of Thumper. Had one bolt on the Tranny come lose that almost cost me but that was it! Thumper worked great! The engine is tuned in now and it has stupid power, really fun to open up now!:eek1:
 
Nice Videos!!

Great to see your rig performing well since you got it back.!:waytogo:

That trail section looks challenging and you say it gets much worse..??

Kelly and I were invited to go run 21 Rd. by a group headed out that way, when we were fueling up in Colorado last year, but with a repaired clutch we didn't want to take the risk.

Glad we passed on it then.

Looks like it would be fun with a good group to run with now.:D
 
Suppose it gets harder than the Billings Canyon? I was kinda disappointed with that one last year.
 
now, everyone can see why its called "thumper"....its badass Mike!

I was told it is a lot harder up farther. It was not bad down low where we were, for a rig like yours you would be bored. I was told the upper part compares to the Hammers out in California, tough. But I can not tell you since we didn't come close to making it. There are some big rock & tight spots that make it hard for mild built rigs. I would say front & rear lockers are a must to completly do this trail. Maybe next time I will go all the way! Lol:whistle:

I would think that this trail will find all your weak spots! Lol
I had a good time even thou we did not do the whole trail.:waytogo:
 
I have not updated for a while because I just did not know what to say after I got my Blazer home and had a chance to really look at it. :dunno:
It litterally was falling apart after one short ride! I have been working on it since I have got it back from being worked on and now it is in Ft Collins Colorado get rewired & tuned correctly. I have missed two 4X4 trips now because of bad installs and hack work. I will get into this later as right now I am trying to get some of my money back from work that I was told was done but now I am paying someone else to do it again.
Really, really sad how some people "Professional Shops" will take your money but not do the work! Amazing they won't even answer my phone calls! Freaking SAD!
 
On a upbeat I am going to Moab on May 17th with a group of guy's from Laramie & Colorado, should be fun!:woot:
The shop in Ft Collins said they would have the Blazer done correctly for me & it will be ready to go when I get back from work on May 14th.
 
Sorry to hear that. Difficult when they are so far away. I've been on the new builders side many times. Sucks telling somebody what they paid for does not work. Or won't last.

I usually get them after I quoted a price or said T&M. They go someplace cheaper. Then pay me more to fix it later.

You paid good money for bad work.

What still needs done?
 
You added another post while I was typing. So never mind on what still needs to be done. Glad it will be ready.
