I actually remember that Blazer and was looking thru my back issues of Four Wheeler and couldn't find it. I've always thought that rig was sweet.

For Ford guy you'd think that pretty strange. I have just followed Top Truck Challenge for a long time and for some reason I really like Blazers. I am always searching for them and gathering info. That's how I found the subject for MY Blazer build.

Oh yeah, Chris LeDoux is the best.

Off subject**
I've been to every concert of his (that I could make with in driving distance) from like 91 till his death.

I have about every album put out and have been collecting everything I could get my hands on. I'd love to own one of his sculptures.

Thanks for the HIjack. Looks like I need to put the LeDoux avitar back up.

Not yet, Double J, I noticed your CL avatar earlier, it definetely needs to go back up. I've seen the man in concert 4 times, he put on an awesome show. I saw him do a concert in Afton, Wyoming, it was cool seeing him do a concert in the state he loved so much. The rest of the time I saw him here in Idaho. I'm getting close to owning his whole collection. I like all kinds of music, but Chris has got to be my favorite. I was driving home from steelhead fishing when I heard he had passed away, almost drove off the road. Anyway, now that we're done with the tribute to Chris I need to get back the Blazer.

Looks good,

I'm still messing with my new crawler, actually just broke down and bought a SW3 chassis, decided it would work out better that the VS chassis that i had gotten before. I still need to get my body painted up. Then you are going to have to show me your crawl spot.

Here is one with the VS chassis and my little helper putting my beadlocks together, but hopefully my SW3 chassis will be here within the next week. I will take more pics of the SW3 as i put it together.

Vsmile chassis build

Ok, back to the K-5 (finally). I've been messing around with the suspension. I wanted it to sit lower than before and I wanted to limit the flex just a little bit. I'm gonna try this set-up and see how it works. I'm kinda worried the flex may be limited to much, though. We'll see. I've got the rear done, next up is the front. I'm also thinking about getting the RC4WD rear lock-out for this project.
