Yea I wish , I'm poor as the next guy , but this is what I do for fun . I have a lot of friends , that helps . I try to manage my money the best I can , but beside this my life is very boring most of the time .

 

from upstate ? saw the plates im from long island

 

Yep we both are from upstate

 

saw a video from this thread looks like maybe good off roading upstate on the island we only have beaches we have trails but always got to look out for park police hate them but i use to drive a soild axle swapped blazer front leaf springs amazing offroading but now i drive a 5spd with just 31s

 

90% of our mudding is either a race or competition , or on our private property . I will post on here before I have another race at my house , just in case anyone is interested in joining us .

 

Its been a while since I have been on but plans changed now for axles I'm going with a GM 14 bolt and for the front hopefully Dana 60 s but if not then Dana 44 s . I have the rear 14 bolt already installed in the blazer . Holy crap talk about wide , the brake drums are where my 35s were , the whole tire sticks out from under the truck . The bad thing is there 8 lug 16.5 wheels , and the axle is heavy as heck , more than twice the weight of the Dana 35 . Tomorrow a friend and I are going to garys u pull it to search for front axles .

 

I have been working on my blazer quite a bit , I have the new 14 bolt in and I bought a dana 44 for the front . And bought new 37 inch military tires , and two sets of 16.5 wheels 4 wide and 4 military bead lock run flats . There pretty crazy pics coming soon . And I made it through my mud pit finally .

 

Making it look easy , these are both videos

 

Heres the 14 bolt rear and one of the new 37s

and heres the dana 44

My toy

muddy blazer

I'll add more picrures later of the beadlock runflats

 

I'm also going to do a high steer set up to fix the angle on the steering , and that will help with the bump steer . I'm just happy to have my ride back , but right now I have zero brakes . For now I'm going to do rear disk brakes on the 14 bolt , its the cheapest way I have seen . Theres no conversion for the closed knuckle 1967 f 250 dana 44 so I will have to go with drum on the front and disk on the rear . At this point it would probably be easier to drive backwards anyway , its the only clean window . Here's the kit for the rear
