I picked mine because it was made for my truck. Been looking for a long time. Spent the last 8 months on weekends getting it to this point with us bolting it onto the K5 today. Still got a lot to do, but I'm super stoked.

I actually did something similar with my K5. The local Napa store sells automotive paint that we buy from at work. I pulled the WA# for the factory doeskin tan of my truck and they mixed up some paint and loaded them into rattle cans for me. Wasn't cheap, but I got a decent color match and...

Somebody needs to get some anger management therapy. Holy cow you hate GM IFS rigs. Get over it. You might gain more backing if you wern't telling everybody off that don't agree with you or telling them to "fack off". I'm not a Ford or Dodge guy but I'm not going down the laundry list of...

Maybe the GM guys aren't posting on here in the same volume as the more popular overlanding rides do. Pop over to CK5.com and check out a few of the multipurpose builds (K5's. Subs of many generations and SAS'd GMT400's and GMT800's). I haven't put together a build thread here, but I'm big on...

So all the Jeep guys taking and putting full width 1-ton axles under thier rigs since D44's (or D30/35's) can't quite handle the abuse aren't stepping in the same path as any other full size right? Just because they have a narrower body means they can be the only ones out there huh? I'm sorry...

My work in process. 82 FWC Blazer model on my 91 Blazer. Pic taken after loading on mine for the ride home from the previous owner. 4" lift and 35" tires in my combo. Should be fun to run by next spring. Rotted wood replaced and interior gutted at the moment.

Many of the more popular trails in Colorado are maintained by off road clubs. Pearl Pass in my example is maintained by a 4wd group out of Gunnison. Pearl is just barely wide enough for my K5 (or other fullsize), but I did get some pinstriping and my GoPro mounted to my driver's side mirror...

Hey dude, did I say anywhere I was breaking trail? Did I say I was bushwacking trees beating the snot out of my own ride? NO. I'm quite the considerate wheeler. I stay the trail, don't dig holes by going nuts trying to get through an obsticle and if I have too I'm not afraid to take a tug...

Passes like Pearl are have all the great points of a fun trail. Steep rocky sections, check. Scenic forest sections, check. Panoramic views, check. Serious pucker factor, check. I was amazed how well my Blazer tackled the terrain despite it's size. I love taking on trails like this one. To...

Yep, we did Pear Pass this fall (Larry couldn't make it-bummer) with 3 other Jeeps. Pearl pass connects the Crested Butte to Aspen and is every bit a Jeep trail. Maintained by the good folks of the Blue Mesa 4 wheelers, the trail is tight between trees below timberline and then narrow shelf...

I've done nothing but wheel a fullsize Blazer with Larry since I started wheeling at all. All on Colorado Jeep trails until I went on my first desert trip with him and 4 other full sizes. Trees require caution for sure, but it's the shelf trails cut into the side of a mountain than brings the...

I think of all the spots the truck died, none were quite as scenic as right there. We happened to get very lucky as the shoulder got really wide just after it died. At that slope the blazer wasn't coasting very far. Get into the swap for sure, by far the best thing you can do to make the...

Working on the trip report. But I went out and tackled 3 passes last weekend with a few jeepers. Going to try to get caught up this weekend. But I'm going to work on the camper too. So who knows. But here's a teaser pic when we brought the camper home. IMG_20170813_150733505 by Rob...

Got to say the trip was Epic. My first desert run. Larry's right, the Devils Racetrack is no joke. Fact was we didn't even know what the hell trail we were on until we got to the end of it on day 2. We really didn't care as we were having too much fun. We all had enough food, water and...

That mount is brilliant. I'd buy one for my iPad since I use it for navigation in my K5. That is if you were willing to make another.

Or swapping in a dump truck tranny in your carport in January in Detroit. I don't think either of us really imagined where we would be still be screwing around with that truck. Much less trying to keep it from sliding off the trail covered in snow. Been a fun ride for sure.

Pretty easy to shoot when the subject is so photogenic. Can't wait to leave for Utah Sunday.

I'm glad the cluster came in undamaged. I got lucky we had a spare box with foam on a recent radio we had come in. I was worried about the second lens getting smashed as tight as everything was. Good progress. Would have been fun having out on the trail with us next week. Get it done so...

My exhaust guy started to get all techical on me about the H pipe placement. Which if I was looking for maximum exhaust scavaging and power I would have worried about it. I just wanted it on there to calm the bark down and have it far enough back to facilitate t-case removal without requiring...

That small box in the front is the cluster...I recognize the scribble on it. As far as the exhaust goes, I'm a fan of the Thrush welded mufflers too. Same exact ones Larry has on the K10. Super cheap price but well built. Sound is straight out of the flowmaster playbook for a 10th of...
