Nice seeing a full size rig showing all those Jeeps what's up!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

I'm not sure I was showing them anything but it was a good time :)

Since I have been doing more trail runs, I figured it was time to work on my lack of traction issue. Being I was too cheap to buy a Detroit why not a mini spool...

Made some Rock Sliders.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Put the rock sliders to work, they definitely saved the body a few times.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

How did the sliders do?

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks for sharing Dave. Awesome videos as usual. I was going to ask you if you miss your K5 or considered shortening the K10 but you answered those in that last video. Keep it up and Good Luck with the adoption. Can't wait to see you and "The Little Man" hitting the trail. :metal: :metal:

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks I appreciate it!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Nice driving, Dave! Man I would be puckered up just riding along...

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks! I don't think I even notice anymore, especially with the long wheel base it makes everything so much easier, well except turning tight corners!

I got out for a nice trail ride with my 4x4 club and the boy! It was a great day of wheelin', grillin' and being in good company!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

The truck stuff is cool and all that but a BIG congratulations on the adoption!! That's the real treasure.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thank you Marcus, I appreciate it!

She held up in Sand Hollow this weekend on some trails that were rated a 7, but once we got of course on the last trail and ended up on a 9 rated trail, things got interesting!!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Oh man I would be devastated if that happened to my 81 haha. I think a bobbed short bed would do wonders for ya.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Whoooooops. I thought you were going on the lid there early on. Good battle scars.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Yet another cool video. I can't wait to have time to get out wheeling again. I wish we had that type of terrain a little closer to PA. Some day when my truck is capable I will be towing the Jeep west to do some real wheeling.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks guys how about another?

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Another vid from the wheelin trip to Sand Hollow.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks for more great videos Dave. I watched the one on trailering your rig home as well and I'm glad that it turned out good. Keep the videos coming and can't wait to see that Blazer build, if you get it. My Jimmy is still apart and yet i went out and found an 1987 R20 single cab that needed rescuing from its previous owner. :lol: His tool of choice must have been a zip saw. :lol:

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks, It was a crazy towing experience and I am happy to be here lol. Good luck with the projects, keep plugging away you will get it. I understand about rescuing more, if it wasn't for my wife I would probably have 10 trucks in my backyard lol

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

It's time to put an auto in the K10. The TH400 and NP205 should work...

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Turbo400 swap pt2

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

I like the new format, I can definitely see where it would come in handy for people doing or considering doing what it is your about to tackle. I like knowing the part number, source, and price (even though it is subject to change.) Keep it up and get that thing going again. I have a Turbo 400 that came out of my '89 that I would gladly give you if you were up here. :metal:

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Road trip!! :metal:

Thanks man, I appreciate you commenting and watching. I'm trying to be as through as possible.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

How about a quick drive around the block, she shifts!
