    RimRocker trail and Blazer Bash in Moab

    Given all the action that was had by the buggies in the tub we only got pics of the S10 truggy in his attempt right before it went over on it’s side backing down into the hole. The batteries in the camera went flat and we missed it. These couple of photos show the insanity what it takes to get...

    RimRocker trail and Blazer Bash in Moab

    Hell’s gate. What’s there to say? Well I gave a hard NO on the idea of running it from the beginning. I know everybody in charge didn’t want to deal with either of us going up it and having a problem mid way. So we parked the rigs to enjoy the show of those that took it on. My son Robbie...

    RimRocker trail and Blazer Bash in Moab

    Since we didn’t end up getting may photos of my own truck on Hell’s I’m thankful others did take some cool shots of mine getting work done on the rocks. Dean from CA in the black K5 with the soft top got a lot of these on Hell’s and shared them with me. Much appreciated to see my truck from a...

    RimRocker trail and Blazer Bash in Moab

    The next morning we were to meet at Moab’s old city park to gather up for the trail ride for Hell’s Revenge. Many a Squarebody and first gen Blazer were lined up. Plus a couple of Jeeps, GM truggies and one Toyota truggy that identified as a Squarebody that day. Links and coil-overs for...

    RimRocker trail and Blazer Bash in Moab

    We waited to let the heat go down slightly before I commenced to cooking. I turned the truck around to make some shade from the sun. We chowed down with gusto. Camp cooking at it's best. We had been visiting others about Ron's lack of low range and decided to check some things in order to...

    RimRocker trail and Blazer Bash in Moab

    Passing by the lake and the campgrounds (which looked pretty nice BTW) we pressed on for the state line. We finally made it into Utah. Shortly after crossing the line you are made very well aware that the land the trail drives through is private. No hunting signs are on almost every tree near...

    RimRocker trail and Blazer Bash in Moab

    This gives a perspective of the climb up the canyon. The views just keep getting better climbing up. This big dome really tripped us out. Like I said, it's pretty photogenic. With clouds low, the sun setting, the light is getting less. We need to get a move on to make it to Buckeye. With...

    I wish. If he did I'd already have one. I almost know his stash as well as he does. I'm with you on the unsprung mass and clearance. It's a good reason for upgraded shafts in the 44. It's probably the direction I go in unless a 60 drops in my lap for really cheap. I started the Trip report...

    RimRocker trail and Blazer Bash in Moab

    This is the trip report for my trip to Moab for the event called Blazer Bash. Think of Easter Jeep safari, but with full size GM trucks and less crowds. My normal Buddies I wheel with couldn’t make it, but a buddy from Denver was planning on going too and we had suggested drving out together...

    Nope. Pretty easy to unlock the hubs and push the t-case lever to 2hi and forget about it. That trail did have a couple of different spots to bail out onto a dirt road to get back to the highway or else it would have been a LONG day. We did have to get winched over one shelf but after that we...

    Kinda. Last trail day on flat iron Mesa. We were 1/3rd of the way into the trail when I broke it. Wasn't anything hard like the climb in the first pic. Just got bound up on a rock and snapped it. Contrary to what our buddy Larry thinks, I was not hard on the skinny pedal at that moment. 40...

    Funny you should say that... A mere 10 or so minutes later on a much less difficult rock this happened.

    I'll leave this one here. I'm working on the trip report, but let's just say it was a blast to wheel in Moab. This is one camper that can crawl..

    Getting a Hawk home

    Not sure how I missed your thread Don! I'm totally digging the look of the FWC on the Waggy. I admit it would be nicer if the gate still fit, but still "if it fits, it sits". I think you'll adapt to the use of the camper over the topper. Not having to unload to sleep and reload when you...

    Rollover accident - Lessons Learned in a FWC / Ranger Combination

    Wow. Glad you both came out ok of the wreck. I've driven that section of I-25 dozens of times. Some nasty winds roll through there for sure.

    Yeah no big block swapping is happening in that time. The head cheese at the BigAssGas Garage won't let it in until the snow flies anyway. I can plod along with the 5.3 as it's still way better than the TBI 350 that was in mine anyway. Thanks for checking out my build on the camper. It's...

    Getting ready for a new adventure. One month out from heading to Moab for Blazer Bash. It's an annual gathering of like minded full size Chevy guys and gals for 3 days on Moab Slickrock. Think Easter Jeep Safari on a much smaller scale and with cooler full size K5's, K10's and other GM...

    If I find a complete setup I may do just that. It may wait until after the repower project occurs. I got a lot of stuff I still need to buy for that swap so lighting will take a backseat for now.

    I've looked a long time for the e-code Bosch lamp housings. Long gone. If they do pop up on Ebay they want a mint for them. For the what they want for the E-code bulbs I could change the core support for the cheaper version with the dual headlamps and replace the grille and headlight bezels...

    Better check the conditions. Even later this month most high elevation passes may still be closed due to record snowpack. Plus many of the trails in the San Juans experienced avalanches due to the high snow levels. Some areas are 100 FEET under snow right now. That's not an exaggeration...

    My view from the bunk the next morning. Storm was warm and toasty. Never turned the furnace on since it was so warm overnight. Morning sunlight on the lake. Coming back down. This spot is significant to me and my buddy Larry. We had come up here May of '17 to prove out our rides prior...

    Looking back at camp. Oh yeah I finally did something about my grill.. Storm exploring around the creek. I offered up to cook for the group. I carry a 20lb propane bottle in the camper so no running out of 1lb coleman bottles. Jeeps can't carry what I can.. After Dinner my buddy...

    Last weekend my Jeep buddies were making a quick overnight run to a local high mountain lake with family. I had to work on Saturday morning, but I was only an hour away from the trailhead. So I brought my dog to work with the truck packed the night before and headed out once I closed up...

    Ice box vs 3-way fridge?

    I've just picked up a ARB 50L for my camper and I have yet to go out with it yet. But I pulled the original Dometic 3 way out when we refurbished the interior of mine. It seemed to work on 110v but I had no plans of keeping it. Mainly for a reason that would be unique to the...

    I know my coworker would have done the same thing for me. I've spoken to a couple of the guys in the last couple of days when they reached Furnace Creek for restocking of fuel and water. Sounds like they've had a solid trip, no major mechanical issues and hit some tough trails without...
