Title: Wheelin in indiana??
Post by: huge852500 on March 18, 2008, 01:16:10 pm: Does anybody else here happen to have most of their fun at the Badlands or Haspin Acres? I think my buddies and I are the only ones around her still rockin' the Old Skool Bowties.

But the rocks are lots more fun to me. Im glad they got a campground now, Summers Campground
was a long haul in a zuk on 33's but the camping was great.

My springs are a little too stiff and plus my truck is a little top heavy. I was just wondering if there is anyone else around here that's really into gettin' dirty while you're still behind the windshield. I feel a lot of times that no one wants to get off the couch and go play anymore.

I have been a member there for four or five years, allot of those guys go to Haspin all the time.
Yes I still play in the dirt. Took a little hiatus from it but last fall I got the Blazer back out.

Did you get one ton axle shafts or did you swap the whole thing? My truck is stuck with an open diff 14 bolt in the back and a Dana 44 up front(stock setup for 3/4 ton)

Post by: Blazin on March 21, 2008, 12:39:18 pm: No my next Blazer will have one tone axles
I have it, & the parts just need to find the time and $ to build it.
