Dude, you have a museum quality Blazer :bow: !

That rig should be kept in your front living room right next to the Grande piano :D !

I...have no such pictures.

My Honda Prelude will see more offroad action than my Blazer.
 
Don't worry Craig, it won't be much longer before the sickness takes hold. :D

Dude, If my truck looked THAT nice, it wouldn't leave the drive way, much less the garage, where I stored it in a dust free enviroment! That thing is tooo sweet to wheel, even at the mall! :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Thats a good argument, Can, but I would not consider wheelin anything that doesnt involve 4 LO, 1st gear, mud up to the rockers, rocks into the rockers, or hills that make a carb go

I disagree with some of these points. I went wheeling at paragon sunday. I spent most of the day in 4-hi and never went into mud up to the rockers. The truck was fule injected so no carb stumbling. I did put it in 4-lo and first gear to go down Turtle trail. it was a sheet of ice. I had some rocks get close to the rockers, but not into them.

If you had been with me there is no way you would disagree that the wheeling was intense at times. I may have come home without a scratch but there was a guy who rolled his heep off the same trail I was on. Wheeling is off asphalt and the need for a front driveshaft.

I voted for 6 times or less because breakage or scheduling/family keeps me from going more often. But like Paul I use 4wd often. I don't count a couple hours in a muddy field with my friends wheeling. But it is fun. and thats what this sport is supposed to be about.
 
I wheel at least once a month and sometimes 3-4 times a month in the summer (24 hrs. of daylight :cool: ). We also do some extended trips of two to five days. Those of you who have seen some pics of our trips up here know that when I say wheelin' I mean wheelin' :D .
 
I'd wheel a lot more if I didn't have the wrenching sickness where I insist on working on my junk all the time. I was fine, did what I wanted, but the body was beatup. So now I have 1 tons, new engine, doing a trazer... and what do I have to wheel? a bare frame sitting in the shop.
 
I don't wheel - I'm afraid I might scratch the chrome :eek1: :doah: :haha:

I understand your position. And that's why there needs to be a poll option for us guys who go offroad on a regular basis, yet don't "wheel".......:deal:
 
Yea, sometimes I wish I was one of those guys who needed 4WD regularly. It would give me an excuse to DD my blazer instead of this stupid Heep I got stuck with. Just when I think of wheelin, i think of places offroad that without lift, tires, and body protection you wouldnt be the same comin out as you were going in :D
 
Socialist Republic of Madison

There's so much friggen beautiful terrain to 'wheel around south western Wisconsin. My biggest issue is the whining of the moon-bat liberals in the SR of Madison bleeds to the whole state and aren't allowing wheeling, atv'ing, etc. anywhere.

:mad: :crazy:

Alot of us out here have the lift, tires and some sort of mild to wild body protection, and we STILL don't come out the same way we went in.

Heck, some don't even have much of a body on their rigs, and THEY still come out with a different looking truck when the day is finished:p:

I enjoy trail riding, gets to be a real long day though when there are ALOT of trucks on the ride.
I don't do the runs as often as i honestly would like, mainly due to the fact that the Burb is the ONLY means of transportation to and from work for me at the moment, and it currently has some issues that i am "babying" to keep it going.:crazy:

Maybe after the dually is finished i can attend more and stop getting grief from the creator of this thread, who is obviously SO bored at work, he sits on here all day long posting up stuff :D :p:
 
theres open desert right outside my neighborhood, i go out there atleast once a week... yesterday i even managed to get some body damage out there from being stupid

I figure if it's a road I wouldn't drive my Pontiac GTP on, it's wheelin'.

Besides I like the term wheelin' better than off-roadin' because if you want to be picky about semantics nobody should go "off-road." Not that I'm implying or inferring that you blaze your own trails.

I would go to the flip side and say there would need to be a category for crawlin' because that's how I'd describe the extreme trailer queen type trails.

You're missing a category, Pauly.:deal:

Some of us take our trucks offroad on a regular basis, and I know for a fact it's not what you would consider "wheeling". My K5 sees plenty of time off the pavement, but I very rarely need to be in 1st gear and 4-Lo to get where I'm going. That kind of use doesn't fit in anywhere in your poll........:thinking:

And what about those of us who own K5s because of the bad road conditions we encounter up to 6 months of the year? I count on my truck to safely get my family from point A to point B several times a year when the weather and roads are anywhere from bad to virtually impassable.

I have never taken my truck "offroad" Paul . I stick to designated trails . Respecting my local laws , and protecting our environment :wink1:

And this thread was mainly a joke anyway , just wanted to see what would happen this weekend :thumb:

And as for bad road conditions due to mother nature , no one told the human race they had to live where they do :wink1:

I love ya Paul :bow:
