It's funny how at some point working on trucks is as fun as driving them.Im excited for dune season to end, and fabrication season to start
Yeah.
Blazer works goooood (freiburger voice)
Need to rip all the shocks out this winter and go through them. New fluid, lots more rebound valving, and probably do all the seals.
I suspect the transmission will die next. But it keeps on ticking and shifting well, so who knows. 2wd has been hard on it though.

Oh no, I don't want to touch the blazer haha. I want to get some hot rods in the shop and do lots of panel work.
I am past the point where I enjoy working on it anymore. Maintenance is enough, with using almost a whole tube of grease before every trip. Its surprising how long that makes parts last though.
I like the planning, building, driving about equal.
I was talking to Sweaty a couple weeks ago at Rausch, I told him I'm going to have to see what all this driving in sand is all about....So it sounds like there will be a convoy heading your way next summer.

I enjoy it.
Its a big fun family up there too once you get to know all the regulars.

That's good to hear. The only major sand area we have in Utah is full of douchebags.
I used to go regularly but I quit. It got tiring watching out for idiots coming roaring over a hill without knowing what was on the other side, people that might mow down your kids rather than slow down around the camping area, and having to have someone stay awake all night to make sure your stuff didn't get stolen. Gave me a bad taste in my mouth for 'sand people'.
I love those methods.. it woulda been those had I not found the deal on the kmc's and I'm with Adam, I hate fixing crap.. building is fun for a while but driving and jumping and roosting is funner..
I could fix that for you....
Ok, fair enough, fixing crap sucks. Adding new stuff is fun though. 
Also the hood looks great, but the top looks hideous on your blazer lol

-The large hills are directional here.
-No camping or overnight
-No alcohol
Those three factors diminish the majority of your issues with sand people lol.
The camping would be fun though.
First time Shannon saw it the other day, she said "blazer is in old man mode, I don't like it"
She must really hate my truck. Full time old man mode and not a straight panel on it.
I like it! I think it looks clean as hell, somehow the bumper and the tires all tie in to give ya that indication something isn't normal... plus the hubcaps.. who doesn't like hubcaps lol
It's weird usually I prefer tops and im not a fan of convertibles but the top really hides what your blazer is.First time Shannon saw it the other day, she said "blazer is in old man mode, I don't like it"
Normally I would agree, but it hides everything Adam is about.I'm ok with that, it just makes the truck a sleeper.
Innovative Balancing beads work great. Used them in a bunch of my tires.
Used airsoft BB's in the 38" Michelins on Big Ugly. Rolled true and vibration free.
Consider some beads. Works great and they self adjust.
