Only on 38's lawl
**** thing would tip over like humpy dumpty if you rock crawled with it.

the blazer is strictly mud only. actually on uneven terrain, it stays planted pretty well. ruts, birms, hills, hard packed dirt walls..etc.

your on the edge of your seat, the thing has pretty much no suspension. extremely rough ride, you feel every bump. your freakin out cuz your pretty sure its goin over, but shes pretty well planted. so much weight.

let me upload the pics of the little s10 on 38s

i forget what axels we put under this one..it was so long ago. definately a straight axel up front tho. stock 350 for the powerplant, smoke stacks through the bed..that you really dont wanna get thrown up against goin through the holes. uhhh...fuel cell in the bed, between the stacks. not street legal, just the basics. motor, suspension, t-case, body, tires, cooling fans, lights.

is that on a fullsize frame? there was some one in town here that had a vw bug on s10 frame lifted and all that good stuff.

no, we extended the ass end. and did a few other "minor" mods to the rest of the frame, to take more abuse without twisting, bending..etc.

although we are debating about changing around bodies a bit. blazer may be getting a 2000 regular cab dodge ram body. s10 will prob stay an s10 tho

I pictured something completey different. With those long *** axles, it would be pretty hard to tip over unless you were doing something totally stupid.
Do you guys have to sneak off to those mud areas so the local enforcement doesn't arrest your ***?

long axels and spacers. we get stupid with that truck. with the big blazer we cruise in the mud, and get on it for maybe a max of like 15 feet, when that thing gets out of hand, its a handful to control and try to maintain. (prime reason im not allowed to drive it anymore //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif) but with the s10, we go for broke. we go out there a give it hell. its alittle smaller, and built to be run differently than the blazer was intended.

yes, we sneak in the areas. cops are shutting down all the good mud grounds around here.
