Blazer 1 - Toyota 0
Today I was off messing around in my blazer in this old dried out creek bed with my little brother, Jonathan, when a couple toyotas came down. One of them (86 model) was pretty decked out with some 33's, lockers, and 4.88 gears and he was making easy work of some of the more extreme stuff that was really narrow and too narrow for my blazer. The other was a 94 Landcruiser with some 33's, ARB bumpers and I think a gear swap if I heard him correctly. Anyways i'm not a hardcore rockcrawler or anything but it's still fun to push my blazer to it's limits just for the heck of it anyways and I was getting ready to take off when I noticed the Landcruiser failing miserable to go up a pretty decent rock ledge. There was actually two ledges back to back and the second one was stopping him. His spotter was spouting instructions but alas, it was a failed attempt. Well feeling confident I waited until he backed off and putted up it without a problem at all and no spotter, not even spinnng the tires once (I still don't know how it was so easy). My brother (he's 11) was stoked and those guys came over to see what all I had going on in my blazer. When I said I had open diffs with 3.07's they couldn't believe it. Anyways it was a blast, next time pics will be in order but I didn't have a camera since I didn't expect to be going down there.
BTW, now my brother doesn't know what everyone just doesn't drive blazers since toyotas are obviously useless.

Re: Blazer 1 - Toyota 0
  Nice work, putting the import to shame! pretty hard to do with open diffs and 3:07/1

Re: Blazer 1 - Toyota 0
That's why I love SM465s! Low gear is AWESOME!
