How does your Blazer compare to SBD`s Adam?

I never rode in it.
Jesse and Richard did though

I didn't ride in it when it was just one person. I bailed because richard was getting the snot beat out of him in the back. SBD messed with shock tuning, and he has a bit to go to get it dialed. Adams still hits the bumpstops just not as hard as sbd. Adams rig flat out works awesome in the dunes, he just has to slow down a bit for the big whoops, while nate speeds up.

After all these years I thought you would have made sure you got a ride.
Unless it's a 4 seat long travel car with a twin turbo LS engine, yeah, rails are boring.
I was having too much fun running with him! Lol
I'll rephrase.
They are a lot of fun, but they are boring to look at unless it's like a funco car.
My vote: Keep the Blazer a working rig. Papa Smurf took over a year to roll out of the garage. Build something sweet, and still have the Blazer to play with until you're done! If you need to part the Blazer to fund the last few thousand of your build, do it, but don't start with that step. Plenty of rust free Truck cabs out there, but I think starting with a K5 cab would be a great idea.

Build one of these but 4 seat with more suspension and keep the 1,000 hp twin turbos a lot of them run. And keep the 4x4.

Its getting to the point where everyone has some type of prerunner too.
I dig the k5 cause its a go fast rig with solid axles and leaf springs on stock frame with full body. Thats what makes it so cool and unique. Plus you built it yourself. How many full bodied solid axle leaf spring trucks do you see be able to jump and take whoops and come back for more. Thats impressive but thats just my 2 cents.
When I'm ready to run something else besides the crew cab on the trails, I'm probably going to look at a side by side. Then I can still haul it with the crew cab but do some different stuff.
Don't know if I added much to your discussion, but that's kind of my "evolution" plan.

Putting this here for my goals lol
To own a bronco?
That's a badass Bronco.
Thought Steve was doing that
Hey I know that Bronco!
Tyson calls it the Honeybadger.

Found you a body for that "new" rig. Even has factory suicide doors.
That would be badass with all the bead rolling and fancy rivet things.
This one's a little more but its a "Caddy"
