I think ours gets the gas mileage it gets because it definitely has the wrong gears in it. They're stock 3.08's. And not really meant for the lift and tires the size of ours. So that's the next BIG project for her.

That's cause you have that cute little 305. lol, Just messing, that light blue Blazer there is an '85 with the 305... along with Straight Open Headers and 4.11 gears... I envy him so much.

Dirty Girl gets around 9-12 depending on how she's feeling that day... which is more towards the 9 more often than not.

The funny thing about all that... it was behind a church. You should have seen all the church goers faces when we rolled through the parking lot to get back to the trail, and then the look when we came back out dripping mud all over the parking lot... priceless. And I lost my driver's side Blazer Emblem in the process...

Looks like a lot of fun.

No way I'm taking my Blazer in the mud till it's got a lift & mud tyres. It's also my daily driver so I can't afford to risk damage yet. I still owe $8k on it & if I trash it in the mud the insurance won't pay.

Yeah, I've got a cute little southern accent... but it gets real heavy when I'm working on my truck, out with the boys... or angry. lol

... I've even been called Boomhower a couple times...
