Default Jumped the Blazer...

I was taking my friend home last night, driving through a back road at about 45. i'd been back there before but theres been some moving of dirt since last time i guess. hit a small hill and jumped... I think i got all 4 wheels off about 2 feet. Everything feels fine... Nothing broke... just scared the crap outta me.

Its a stock 2wd 2 door ls with just Wider rims...

Did the same on a dip on a paved street going 35. Felt the suspension open all the way and stop before i came back down. She bounced around a bit when i hit the ground and other than a heart attack all was well. I drive a lot slower down that street now. teehee

I jumped my 97 Blazer on purpose. I climbed a hill and was running through a trail, I put the petal to the floor and I got some air off the next hill I hit. I've jumped her over a few railroad tracks. I've taken my poor truck through so much. She's still holding her own.

I've seen that video before when searching for off roading video's, I find it pretty funny.
