Well i finally got some time to spend on the blazer due to raining off and on all day. I dont remember if i shared or not but the day i bought the blazer i drove it home. About a mile from my house it died abd woukdnt restart so craig just pulled it to my house and its been sitting sense. So today i looked at it and found quickly it was getting fuel so i figured must have lost spark. I looked at all the wires and connections all seemed good. I unplugged them and ckeaned them anyways but still no start. So had to be the dizzy. Deuling had his old dizzy laying aroubd still so i stole the cap off it threw it on and it fired up immediately. So looks like im in the market for a new dizzy. But i got the blazer out and played with it tearing around my field drifting and doing donuts on the wet grass. Tried to get the gf to take some vids but she said" your dumb" and went inside so i only got poser pics for you guys. Ill have to wait for deuling to come over to make some vroom vroom blazer vids.

That's par for the course. My wife can only last for about 2 sentences when the subject is Blazer stuff....then her eyes glaze over and she walks out of the room.

Yo! Check my facebook for dune videos. Deuling got some with gopro. Hopefully they turn out. If so he'll post them in here.

Concensious on the blazer........ask the tight wad in his raptor i left 4 hills back after i blew his doors off:thumb: this thing flat out gets it. One more weekend of the season. Hooefully some better weather so we can get alot more footage.
 
I am so truelly amazed at this rig. Im all gitty inside :pimp:

Really hoping to make it again next weekend to get footage of the suspension working. Forgot all the mounts today and it was raining pretty good. Deuling did his best to hold it with his hand so we will see how they look.
 
Surprised how well it works. Get some new radium arms on and I'll bet it will be even better. Very good purchase Nate

I probally wont do anything with the radius arms. There 2"x.250 wall. I ran the thing pretty hard today and really took some hits and bumps i didnt think it was gonna take. Im gonna run them and push them as hard as i can. If/wheni bend them i will redesign and build new ones.

For now this winter is going to consist of.

Tie cage to frame
Truss axles
Move front shocks(missing out on alot of up travel in current location)
Air bumps
Limit straps
Some re-wiring get all lights working
Guages
Put in 241tcase to get 4wd
Find paddles

Im sure there will be more little things but thats whats on my mind now. I really wish dune season wasnt ending in two weeks.
 
For those of us that are less informed:dunno: what would be your facebook page? Searched but came up empty...
 
As far as i know stock 350 seems to be healthy.

And search Nathan Mclean. My display picture at the moment is me on a dirtbike bright safety yellow gear. Shouldnt miss it.
