The last pic was taken after we recovered the Blazer from almost flopping on the right side when the edge of the trail gave way under us. My lev-o-gauge on the dash I use to level out for setting up the camper pegged out at 45 degrees and settled back to only 30 degrees. Thank goodness for my buddy Bill in the Power Wagon being with us. He winched the truck to safety and continued on the rest of White Rim. Between myself, my son and Bill we were a little pre-occupied to take pics before or during the extraction. That was the easy stuff too.. |

Now that I seen it on my laptop I can see it’s an earlier GMT 400. From my phone it looked like a late second Gen S10. Still a bad looking truck either way. Looks like a great time.

I subscribed to P-bucket and stole some of my pictures back. I still am subscribed. I saved back to my folders. Let's see if they stay after I drop the subscription. The unrestored '72 I rebuilt mechanically. sold to a friend who, hopefully sometime in our lives, is going to restore it. I wish I could have kept it

I love that truck Tim. Woulda been hard to let it go. I took this one of my truck hauling heavy lol. Took my kids to our paved church parking lot to run digger around. My boy loves it, took him about 10 minutes to start jumping it off the sidewalk haha.

I remember taking my kids to "pavement" to enjoy their various rides. No sidewalks in my neighborhood. Actually, there's no neighborhood, it's country! :lol: You already sais it, but I'm sure your son had a ball |

Today I put on 35x12.50 Toyo muds on stock wheels at stock height believe it or not. I’ve read that you can shove 37’s under the current HD trucks with a leveling kit. Pretty crazy to think…

Murphy Hogback campsite on the White Rim trail. The only thing that sucked was the heat.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...529dbf2f_b.jpg Same spot a few hours later as it was still to hot to comfortably sleep inside the truck. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...793d257e_b.jpg To give the shortest synopsis of the trip, here we go in three pics. Driving over through the Eisenhower tunnel on our way to Moab. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a425de95_b.jpg The aftermath of the Steelbender trail. Stock skidplates do not support the weight of a 7,000-pound tank when you belly out on a ledge. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1329d50c_c.jpg Going back through the tunnel on the way home... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...4c86f33a_b.jpg |
Re: Random pictures you took of your K
Nice shots. Carnage always sucks but at least now you have an excuse to upgrade! 205 time??

A 205 would cure that issue, but so would a properly supported (on both ends) skid plate. For the strength I'd gain, I'd lose gear reduction. Right now with the 6.34:1 low gear in my nv4500 the 2.72:1 in the 241 and my 4.1 gears I have a 70:1 crawl ratio. If I went to a 205, the 1.96:1 low range would drop me to 50:1 in low/low. The only way to get the gearing back would be to put a ORD Magnum box in front of the 205, which uses the same planetary gearset as the 241. Sure I'd have the added bonus of going low/low/low and get almost 140:1 but I don't need to go that deep, nor do I have the funds to go that way. Speaking of cost, price out a round pattern 205 with the 32 spline input IF you can find one. Plus I'd have to find a 90-91 to get the VSS output or buy more goodies to convert one from mechancial speedo to VSS. I won't bring up using a AA kit to adapt a figure 8 pattern 205 to my nv4500. Besides more cost I'm not chopping the output shaft of my freshly rebuilt trans to facilitate that mess. The 241 is getting treated to a full rebuild kit of bearings/seals and a Tom Woods SYE to rid the t-case of the slip yoke setup. That and installing a spare rear housing I have stashed in the garage. |

My 69 K/30!! I know GM never made a K/30 until 1977 but this started life as a 69 C/30 longhorn and was shortened 18” then converted to a 4X4 and was fitted with a Dana 60 front And a 14 bolt rear out of a 81 K/30 so it is 4X4 which is a K model and is a C/30 series so combined it’s a K/30 lol
