That is gonna be azz kickin..... Where did you get those mount's?

jamesjones 03-11-2005 02:16 AM

bigbluthng...The suspension, cage and bumpers are all being done by Nate Hanson at Blitzkrieg Motorsports in Irvine, CA. I posted some pictures of his 72 Blazer jumping in Glamis a while back. He does awesome work.

Alexis...The pictures are of the front and I'm going to run 16" 2.5 Dual Rate King Coilovers. The rear is going to be leaf sprung with a Deaver Prerunner Pack and 16" Triple Bypass King Shocks.

Canadian694x4...Will do. I should have some more pretty soon.

FRENCHBLUE72...Nate at Blitzkrieg Made them.

As soon as he sends me some more pics I'll be posting them. As soon as I get home I'll start posting some pics of some of the other stuff I've picked up for the Hooptee.

That is sweet. I bet it will ride like a caddy. Probably could ride over a caddy too and not even know it. Love those welds...

jamesjones 03-14-2005 03:32 AM

Yeah, Nate does some amazing work.

that looks great. I have some friends that race class one cars, and I just love the fab work thats done on cars like that.
What kind of handling gains are you working towards, will it handle like the wide a-arm F-150, and rangers, all the prerun/chase guys use?
I was thinking about doing something like that. I'd love to see those trucks in person. I'm in Pasadena, are you guys going to the dust to glory premier / off road car show. its in Monrovia Ca. on April 8th, it would be cool to see your K5's there. heres a pic of the flier

jamesjones 03-15-2005 09:47 AM

It should handle pretty close to as good as a 4wd TTB Bronco. I haven't had a chance to ride in Nate's Blazer (the one on the left) but everyone I talk to who has, is amazed that it's a solid axle truck.

If my Blazer is done I might be able to get up there, I'll have to ask Nate if he plans on going. I doubt he will though because he is busy as heck.
