speaking of broken.... both my hubs need replaced, drivers side cv, tie rod, and idler arm. I've replaced all of that stuff in 2010 other than the tie rod... Guess I'm not driving through puddles all the time anymore

Ive learned early and quick, offroading is an expensive hobby...lol. i really dont even want to think what ive spent this year. And now, i want to sell my camaro to get a winter beater, so i can dump alot more money into the blazer.

it is very costly. It also helps when you buy the better quality parts, the hubs I got were cheapies from the internet. I got the heavy duty ones this time around.

yeah we through tons of cheap parts in the front suspension when we first got it. they didnt last long, now almost everything but the pitman arm is moog. which is now boogered. both my upper a arms are shot. but i think im done messing with ifs. its going sfa. or if funds dont free up getting bds uca, and the realift thing that tucks the torsion bars back into frame for now.

I'm pretty tired of ifs too, especially after watching that full size rock crawl. That 4 door jeep was 100x better at everything than the full size because he had solid axle, even the little rubicon was better than me

mine does good, i smack and got hung up on the torsion bar drops. 33s would probably help some. right now its either pour another $700 into it with ifs, or for about $1500 - selling superlift... go sfa hmmmm..tough decision...lol
