So....done anything new to the blazer lately? Besides put alot of road behind you?

No, no upgrades lately, just been out enjoying it. I have been on two runs this month, one to Death Valley, and one over Bitter Springs trail. This Sunday we are doing a club run over Wee Thump trail, down by Searchlight. If you are interested, guests are 5 bucks. They are never tough runs, this club does everything "stock friendly", but it's always a nice day. And the organizers usually include some interesting stuff to see.
 
When my 79 had 3.42's and 35's, I could get 'em going. But 4.10's and 38's, not so much...
 
Motivation for a bigger one...

It's still on the list, but for what I do, I'm pretty happy with it right now. Even with the tall gears. I know it's not ideal, but many of the trails I run are pretty far away on highways, and this thing cruises so nice at 75 right now.
 
I'd like to go on that run but I have to start getting stuff ready for memorial weekend trip...
I am going to go to the great philly steakout tonight, my buddies jeep club is supposedto have an rti ramp out there. I wanna check it out and get a measurement for new rear shocks :)
 
I gotta say, you've got a good looking truck sir. I like seeing your FB posts on all your runs. Looks like you are really enjoying it.
 
I would like to do a rebuild or whatever you call it on my throttle body one of these days. I suspect it's not working quite right.
 
Plus, there are some mods you can do while you are in there, if you are so inclined...
