nice truck you've got there.get a wilson 5000 magnet mount antenna works a lot better.

Ive got an 87 blazer that is black also, no lift or wheels but now i know what looks good.do any of you guys ever worry about the salt ruining your trucks?Or am i just paranoid.

My bottom half has been Rhino lined and I wash it as soon as the roads clear of snow...or 1 week, whichever comes first.

I was wondering about rhino lining the bottom of my blazer also.Damn mid-eastern states! How did you go about doing it.Did you pull the body off and put it on a rotissere.I want to do my k-30 body that way too.Thanks for the input.Your blazer looks good.

You call that Winter? Bahh! Here's some winter for you!

Almost 2ft of white stuff a few days before x-mas. I'm in Winter Park (good name huh?) to take my 10 yr old boy skiiing for the first time.

It was fun bashing through yuppie town in a nasty K5...

Ha, our winter is over, and my winter project, my 86 k5 has had a passenger mirror put on it. I know guys, ive got so far. Hopefully she will be ready to play next year, ill probally start working on it in the next few weeks.

**Zoomad75** · 03-23-2007, 02:21 PM

Well, my gift from my K5 to me for all the winter driving I did was to cough up the front drive shaft. 30+ year old CV joint couldn't hack it anymore. Last snow we got i was driving home from the airport at midnight and noticed a wicked vibration from the front end after i shifted into 4hi for the ride home. It wasn't a lot of snow, but I've been a passenger in a bronco that rolled on less so the use of 4hi was just out of precaution. 50 ft with the drivline shaking and I decided to take the risk in 2wd and take it easy on the way home. Further inspection revealed a ton of newfound slop in the front drive shaft. $94 later in parts to get it rebuilt and we won't see any more snow! Just spring wheeling!

vtblazer · 03-23-2007, 06:32 PM

Someone say 'K5's in snow' ?

screwballl · 03-23-2007, 07:16 PM

ah yes... I miss the snow.....closest I have is the white sand beaches that can look like drifting snow... but I am from SD and have seen and played in plenty of snow
