5 Months later I found a spot to flex the truck out. Stay tuned for pictures.

Yep, I'm in Downtown LA

Thanks. I'm starting to take different ways home, seeing if I can find a better spot with more eye candy in the background
First, I had to conquer the pole at my place of work 
cool! i also work in downtown LA but closer to Union Station. I thought it was the Bradbury bldg from your description but I can see the back of the Orpheum Theater so this is somewhere along Spring/Main around 9th street?
So I was out grading the rock off the driveway in front of my shop in preparation for installing a new waterline for a hydrant. I'm using my homebuilt little loader that I made from plans. When finished I turn and drive over the pile and think about this thread. Let's see your Bobcat flex like this!
That thing cool.

Sorry, built it in 03 before we had the internets out here in sticksville. I have no build pics. I did make a grapple for it for firewood cutting. Because it can flex I can drive over about a 10" log in the woods carrying other logs. Cut 8-10 footers, load on trailer, drive loader on the back of trailer, drive home and unload. Cut and split as needed.That thing cool.

Plans available at http://www.cadplans.com/cadtrac.htm. They get $199 for the plans. They also have a backhoe plan set for it as well as stand alone backhoe plans.
Enough hijacking!

I like it but I would try to build a cage in case a log or tree decided to get squirrelly on me. That thing can flex!

An "average" LA commuter has to give that Blazer a third glance if they have not had their third cup of Starbucks to figure out if its a dream of some sort. One of my favorite builds on here, plus the look is just anti LA. Very cool.
Not much, but all I could find around me.

I'll get some better ones this weekend after I fix some "driveability" issues I encountered this weekend

This is the first time I've flexed the axles on my blazer. I really need to get out of this concrete jungle. All stock with 31x10.50s. Don't hate on my michelin all terrains.
This was an urban place....60 years ago 
I think this is what the thread is about.
The tires were at 20 psi. If I aired down, might have gone further up. But when I did, I had no spotter and didn't even know if I was on the ramp correct. Did good though. All the jeep dorks were very impressed!

I was waiting for someone to call me out on this. The spot ended up being a dud and I traded in that truck.
