Re: New member from the Black Hills

I'll still take it out in the woods, but I will probably shy away from the rocks that I used to crawl. I plan to paint this Blazer and keep it forever. (yeah I know...famous last words) I usually don't sell anything. The rocks were fun for awhile. But with a fullsize rig, you just about have to either replace the body every couple of years, or slowly evolve to a buggy type of rig. Neither of which I want to do. With this build I kind of of have the same mindset as you VT. A somewhat capable, do it all kind of rig, that will be driveable every day. The reason for using the newer shift linkage was simply the simplicity of it. I had it laying here from a truck I parted out this past summer. It was one less thing I had to fab or buy. Sometimes we all forget to "keep it simple" HaHa! I am aware of Lokar. But I appreciate you offering the info. How's your blazer coming along?
