idk the exact ache-rage but there's extensive woods w/ trails that take a lot of it up,so the big pit is the only real off-roading area unfortunately .I do wish there were more open areas but oh well ,but theirs a creek and an island so its pretty cool to go there and explore.
Im super jealous, I fantasize about a piece of property like that, even if I have to live in a shack I'd deal with it as long as it was surrounded with area like that. Sounds pretty pic worthy to me, how come you cant head back up those trails? (once the t-case issue is addressed that is)

this place would be like driving through the garden for that big ol' K5 of yours Kyle.

yeah its pretty awesome,I grew up on that land(My dad owned some of it,but his dumb *** failed to pay taxes,still pisses me off) so it was awesome to just explore it on my bike or go-kart at the time.And unfortunately the trails are foot trails or just wide enough for a lawnmower/Atv..the bravada wouldn't make it through

lol yeah if my bone stock bravada w/ a ****ed transfer case did it,then kyles K5 would have absolutely no issues. and yeah it took a while to get it strait'n out but they eventually saw my point and apparently though it to be a fitting 21st B-Day gift..i accepted though i swear now the trucks fallin apart..1st)the mysterious misfire on cylinder #1, 2) mysterious transfer-case noise(2 garages confirmed this), 3) now my starter is going..
wtf is with this pos..

You'd be suprised, I really wish I'd have brought a camera when I had my '93, foot trails, snowmobile trails, occasionally I'd just say eff the trails and go rolling thru the woods, that's why I love these trucks is the ability to squeeze thru anything. I really need another 1st gen to beat on lol

So is that a floor shifter on the Bravada or is it clutch? I've only seen column shifters myself. Enjoy the truck, it will take you places on it's own.
