Bertha Rides on (The K5 Family)
About two weeks ago I plopped down $5,500 cash for this beast of a ride to complete my K5 family.
The newest in the family is a 1991 (Build date in my signature) Blazer 4x4. Yadda yadda you've all heard it before...
Well listen again, cuz I like braggin!
1991 and 2011 is 20 years apart, just like my K5 Blazer and K5 Optima (Helga)... What's a K5 optima you say? Well, K5 is the designation for the Kia Optima in Korea. Yea, I own one of those korean cars, and I love it!
But this isn't the Optima forums (which I frequent), so onto the blazer!
She's named Bertha to complement her aggressive and strong appearance. Bone stock as of now (and for the foreseeable future) she'll be a replacement LMC Truck until I feel like doing anything crazy.
My weekend warrior, my trail runner, and occasional range rider, Bertha wont be pushed too hard. She's near a 180k miles, but runs and looks like she's just off the production line.
She's got a few small issues, a small leak from the Transfer case, haven't looked into it yet, looks like a bad seal near the drive shaft spline. And cosmetics like a door strap, window lock, and a crack or two in the windows. Can't get the cruise control to work either. Tried the fuse, a vacuum valve and replacement column switch. No go.
*If anyone has pointers please feel free to chime in*
Anyway, onto the pictures to prove it!
