They sound good. Not as good as open, but still good.
Always wanted to go to silver lake
Looks like a fun ride!!
Had a good day for sure.
I wanna pull the rear shaft and inspect the joints. Axle side joint appears to have a little slop when pushing on it. Nothing on the pinion bearing when you push on the yoke.
It's the same joint that was in it when I bought the shaft from Mike (beast88k5 or whatever his screen name was)

Damn you were flyin!
What's funny is that was a lame lap as far as I see lol.
There was a razor that cut me off just before the video started so I wasn't up to speed going through the downhill section in the start....
Used 15 gal of gas in the dunes.
Best day I ever had at the dunes I used about 25 gallons. We ran non stop for like 4 hours. I was so tired and couldn't stop smiling.
Excellent day.
I did 18 the last trip of last year.
So these tires are soooo good. I can barely get the rear end broke loose to whip it around. They just grab.

So now you need more power?

Glad the tires worked. They do look good.
So the big question have Adam.
What's next? It actually looks like it works really well. Even those rear springs.
I'm not sure I would do much at all to it. Works good I think just enjoy it.
It might be time to do what Nate has done. Start looking for a donor to build a 2wd beamed truck. Or a long travel a arm setup.
Oh probably ought to get a house first lol

I agree. Blazer is in nice form, perhaps it's time to start planning the tube buggy idea. Or Bronco II FTW!
I'd like to have the shocks tuned to help out with the bouncyness a little. I think I need a little more rebound valving to keep the rig sucked down a split second more on hits. Instead of it just bouncing back up.
It's a lot of fun, but the dunes are fresh right now, and they will get way more whooped out as the season goes, just from all the traffic.
Other than shock tuning, its maintenance that I just need to keep up with. Every time I go I end up running it harder and harder. Going up there alone like yesterday and having to drive it back, means I gotta stay on top of stuff that will get me stranded.
I'm really happy with the rear springs though for the price. When I have some extra cash, I might just order a new set just to have on hand. One thing I know about ford pickups, is that the rear leafs tend to break a lot. And I'm abusing these pretty well.
The zip ties are still holding up though

You didn't answer his question....

Clearly, your next set of springs should be made out of zip ties, then.
And answer the question!
