I wish trail riding was my jobs. Like Man vs Food only driving across the country to the best off-roading spots. My idea, mine! I will pitch it tomorrow.

... Grrr i think you've been a member for at least an extra month or two over me. So I'm done with all this bs about what our trucks can't do, time to start seeing what they can and fabbing up the rest.

Haha well it really might be more a possibility in the future... as roadie has said, it'd probably need a different Tcase like one out of a Hummer H3 and Upgraded axles, which would also be a good time to swap to 6x5.5 inch wheels.

I'm still thinking of looking into modifying (shortening) some scrap H1 portal axles, which would give me the lift I want while still being able to run an IFS... I feel it'd be a giant leap forward for IFS offroading, and it'd certainly be unique!

Yeah, still waiting to see that on the trail. Most of Wharton isn't very difficult, but that thing wouldn't make it...

I think it lost it's integrity when all of that tubular crap and carbureted motor made their way into the project. All it is anymore is a TB body on a custom frame. The point of SAS for me, would be to retain as many stock parts as possible. Could always put a 5.3 in for more power, but I still want it to be a Trailblazer.
