Darkshadow, 98sportTJ from midwestoffroad.com, a guy from flint with a 85 blazer and I all went out to find some mud and trails, we found a bunch of mud and some really tight slimy trails, darkshadow and I both had a tough time to get around.

my carnage list
twisted front driveshaft
malfunctioning choke
leaky header gasket
leaky bead on tire
i had a cracked flex plate from before and didn't fix it yet.

i took some pics but i forgot how to use the camera (push button to take pic, then push it again to save it) so i have no still pics other than what i took from the video.

cool video, your rigs sound good
I wish I could do some wheelin in the snow.

Pretty cool video. Those were some tight spots you guys were going through. I didn't think you were going to make it through at that one spot.

real good video, would be nice to see more of this sort of stuff

 

[big83chevy4x4]

smokkey, i didn't get video of the one tight trail, high banked tight turns that were made for a jeep, and we made it threw

85mudblazin, thanks. i have flowtech headers and 2 $17 2.5" mufflers from autozone ending at the muffler inder the bed.

76blazerguy, thanks, ill get some more video in the spring on the next wheeling trip from there and a few other places

Downloading now.. Thanks... cant wait to see..
FYI you can try and use Microsoft Media Encoder 9 (free) to encode it and will probably have that file down to at least 15mb if not less and will be compatible with all windows media player... as a wvm or wmv file....

I cant wait to get back to the Mounds.
I shived my old Blazer through there. With 44s it will be interesting.
I remember not even being on the trail sometimes, more up on the sides. Had like 3ft+ under my axles cause the trails are all dug out from quads.

See you there sometime I hope!

that blazer was stuck good, took a bit to get him out, i ruined my strap (got tied in knot and didn't notice it till i pulled a few times)

Hey all you Michigan wheelers!

We need to hook up sometime. I've got an '80 K-10 longbed with 33s, 400SB/SM465/NP205

(old picture. new tires and a new bed since then. the big dent is from a tree and there was a matching one on the other side from a stop sign)

and just picked up an '89 K5 with a 6-inch, 35s 350/TH350/NP205.

All my favorite local off-road spots have been closed and the mud in my veins is getting pretty thin!

Holla!
