Wheelin in indiana??
« 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.

The Badlands are fun !  I made the trip up for 3 years. Sand dunes can be tricky and the mud is sticky.
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.

I agree. I love the mudholes there, but i can't do much rock crawling, though. 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've heard of both but never been. Sad I know! Where are they at?  I'm in Dayton Oh. and I've heard people here talk about going all the time.

the badlands are about a half hour away from me in a little town called Attica, Indiana, and I am not quite sure where Haspin Acres is, but I was told it was just south of Indy.

Huge, ever go here?

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.

I assume that's your blazer.. that hill climb was awesome!!! I noticed it said k30?? 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)

Great vids Blazin. I did a little of that in my old Blazer before the 44's. Fun times!
