Re: 30 Second Door Removal

Yep, I've been following that post too. That would be so much fun, even to just ride along with someone - heck I'd have to ride along as neither of my trucks could tackle that stuff!

If vtblazer's Blazer had trouble I know my 69 K20 couldn't make it - that Blazer is built!

Re: 30 Second Door Removal

We made a pact with the women folk, had to be back sorta
early. We thought we were holding you's up, so we split off.
Your group had some incredible machinery...

Nice to spend what little time we had anyway, are you coming back down in July??

James said his butt was tight when he went up that one rock face with your group, we're not set up yet for that extreme stuff....... yet.

Got some pics for you, have to down load...

Any word from hotrodtodd on the parts I picked up for him, sorry didn't know there were more in the cab.
See you again...hopefully on the trails, we had a great day, hope you did too.

Got some pics. for you, have to download...

Re: 30 Second Door Removal

I lived in PA for awhile and had no idea the 4X'ing in that area?! I now live in AZ and there is a lot more wheeling here too, but different. I hope to hit moab someday. I have an old K5 but from the looks of it a beater body is better. I'd hate to crush a first gen K5, especially since so many second gen K5 and trucks are available. Nice picts, looks like you had a blast.

Yes for sure start off with a body you don't feel bad about bashing...cause you will do some bashing.

Re: 30 Second Door Removal

That does sound like a good idea!

But, I'll be in Columbus for 2 weekends in June for an open house and a national weight lifting competition.

But this will have to happen in the future!
