Seemed like a good time to start a new thread with some 4x4's in action. Here's me & mine at 7-mile off-road park in Spokane, Wa. on Halloween weekend.

Hopefully more next weekend. Lets see some others too!

Yeah, the center console dumped everything in my lap when she fell into this hole. I added another pic...had to touch it up a bit, its been lightened up to show the terrain Im about to drop into.

Southedisto · 10-31-2006, 05:55 PM

Cool pics, I really like the yellow.

**Yukon Jack** · 10-31-2006, 02:47 PM

RANDY COX · 11-01-2006, 06:53 PM

Johnnywagon is that an aftermarket defroster on your rear hatch or is that factory.and does it work good.btw nice lookin rig you got there.Randy.

johnnywagon · 11-01-2006, 07:26 PM

Randy, I knew someone would ask that. Its a broken aftermarket unit that NEVER worked. Thanks for the compliment. ~John

Good day for wheeling by the looks.

Great pics, like the yellow, it really stands out.

Went out last week and found/played on a wicked muddy hill climb but we had no camera with us.

bad_turbo · 11-03-2006, 11:50 PM

Nice pics! Good to see there is some wheeling to be had in Wash., since I'm thinking of moving there.

johnnywagon · 11-07-2006, 12:19 PM

Hit the off-road park 2 weeks in a row

Here's a few shots from 11-6-06. I know some might look like poser shots but my 6 year old isnt too handy with the camera so occasionally I had to stop and get out to get these shots.

johnnywagon · 11-07-2006, 02:31 PM

Here's some more.....I'd love to see some other's!

ghetto_superman · 11-07-2006, 02:38 PM

I have a large stick-on metal chevrolet tailgate emblem off a newer truck that is supposed to cover the old logo. Does anyone know how to get the thick sticky backing off of it without destroying it?

ClassicJimmy · 11-07-2006, 02:45 PM

Got to go wheelin w/ Johnny @ the ORV park. Heck-of-a-nice guy.

I got there late, but had fun wheelin. Forgot to flip my air cleaner lid & sucked in a bit of water, but fixed it & drove it home. Need to change the fluids of course & get out & do it some more! Thanks, John for getting me out there. Hope to do again soon.

bad_turbo · 11-07-2006, 02:50 PM

You guys have WAY too much fun up there in wash. I need to move there!

Come on up! We need more 4x4 friends. Big thanks to ClassicJimmy & friends for coming out last weekend. Good people.

neev_nav · 11-07-2006, 06:54 PM

These are a couple of shots I took over the summer at Raglan, Ontario. We were talking with these guys afterwards and they told us they were "company cars".

Bad71chev406sbc · 11-07-2006, 06:57 PM

That is an awesome blazer. great pics!

Blue_71 · 11-07-2006, 09:54 PM

he should have kept going till it said "rolet"

on the tailgate band-- the sticky crap comes off best with a razor blade or sometimes Acrysol will loosen up the stickyness and you can peel it off. i had to get it all off mine when this happened:

2wdBlazer · 11-07-2006, 10:36 PM

Sweet Blazer. Those are the wheels I want to run on my Yellow Blazer. Nice to see what I will look like eventually. Only mine is bigger! Mwuuuuhahahhahahah <------(evil laugh)

Billy81 · 11-08-2006, 12:23 AM

I was so into the action shots that i didn't even notice the tailgate is missing the CH.

k5xjfiles · 11-11-2006, 12:35 AM

How does that thing steer offroad without crossover steering? The few times I wheeled my 72 it was a real pain. Im springing for crossover before I see dirt again.

johnnywagon · 11-11-2006, 03:15 PM

No crossover steering makes for some challenging situations, it is a constant struggle. I've been talking w/another member: "Critter" on the 69-72 Blazers/Jimmys forum section under the thread "6 Inch Lift" about what probs I have dealt with. My Dana 44 has the wrong knuckles for crossover so I'm gonna beat on it all winter

to see if it holds up. Then I'll decide if I want to keep the Dana 44 and swap knuckles or try to find a Dana 60 before I do the crossover. Thanks for asking. ~John

skchevota · 11-16-2006, 12:34 AM

NICE BLAZER! I need to get my truck back together and hit some trails. I have the same rear bumper on my 70.
