Building Blazer still

Wow!

That machine is more impressive every time I check in!!!
Your HP at the rear wheels is worthy of bragging rights!

Nice that you were able to drive it to the event/compete and drive it home.

Not many rigs capable of that any more.

Very COOL!

Thanks man!
We are taking it to 700hp to the tires for Mud bogs, the motor can handle more but why? Lol don't want the hurt it! NOS is cool for this! The Holley EFI is BA! We are DIS (distributor less) now with bigger injectors, everything is ran by the computer and all I do is change the tune to NOS arm the switch, I call it Mike proof or polish proof! It has so many safety features for NOS that it will not let you hurt the motor unless you get stupid and over ride the computer. I can crawl in Moab, drive on the streets, go to the mountains and go racing by only changing my fuel octane! Sweet!!! THUMPER is about done now I hope! Lol
 
Very nice. All around useable truck. Was hoping to see dyno videos. Always love big tires on a dyno. When they did my semi, I about crapped my pants.

I will get video downloaded tonight, they put a small tire on back because they were nervous about the 44" tires. The small tire 265 R17 hit 107mph at 6100 rpm's so the big tire would have been stupid fast. 538's in axels.
 
very cool Mike, those numbers are awesome!!!!!

dig the video, need more engine sound and less woohoo though..:thumb:

That is cool:waytogo:

One question-

You have a miniature shop to build your rc thumper?
 
New Windshield

Well I put a new windshield in Thumper and kinda screwed up on the E of Thumper, Lol nobody would have noticed until I said something I bet!

Got all packed up and went on our trip to Colorado. Drive from home to Glen Echo on dirt roads then did Kelly Flats. I got a little body damage on the Shoots! Waiting for my buddy to download the video.

Made it back to Laramie with no problems the put small tires on and took Thumper to the Camaro show and did a dyno run, kinda cool, everyone loved it!!

Wife has a rig!

I bought my wife a Rig, a 94 Geo Tracker, pretty cool rig!:waytogo:
I put some skins on it and went on a trip! She loved it!:D
I am hoping she will drive it at Blazer Bash! It is kind of a Chevy!:haha:
It is really easy for her to drive. Locked or spools front and rear, 5.29's in the axels, 4.24 to 1 Monster T-Case, automatic tranny and a monster 1.6L 16v Motor! 38" tires 18" Coil Overs in the rear and 14" in the front, flexes really good. A lot cheaper than a Razor side by side and more capable!:waytogo:

Didn't get any numbers, NOS solenoid went bad and no NOS to the motor so I just pulled it off the Dyno, I was bummed but at least nothing serious was wrong! I still had a good time and everyone loved looking at Thumper especially the kids! Thumper was like a jungle gym and a bunch of picture taken. Lol
 
that is really cool with the kids....I had the Vette at a car show one day and a mom and 5yr old come walking by and they walked up to look inside the drivers window, I asked the kid if he wanted to sit in it, he just looked at mom???? she said if it was ok that he would like to....I opened the door, let the kid climb in the drivers seat...couldn't see over the wheel, but he got an eye full of dash....Made the kids day I think! Its pretty cool to share your toys!
