🔧 BUILD Bob’s fuck you 85 k5 blazer CUCV build, it’s got boost, it’s got 1 ton axles and zero creature comforts!

Me and some friends are planning a CO wheelin trip next year. We want to hit holy cross trail, and any other ones we can. Might hit you up when we actually plan it.

Holy cross city trail? I don’t have a rig capable of that

updates ?

Me? Not much going on. Bought a 3rd row rear seat from a Tahoe. It’s split, easy to remove and was $20. It doesn’t match the fronts but hard to pass up for the price. Need to finish weld the front mount still.

You're better off than me. At least you have a dana 60 lol

I'll be going to 37s and chromo fronts for the trip. And will be easy on ol gurl the whole way up lol.

We're planning for Aug 30-Sep 9th this year if you want to join the fun.

Maybe check out trailsoffroad.com

That shit is a 7-10 out of 10. Winch required. I like my stuff too much so I’ll pass on that
[MENTION=85]EmersonHart13[/MENTION] and I did a 4 out of 10 trail when he was here. Hardest I’ve been on is a 5 and my friend gave up in his Jk about half way. He scared.

Good luck. Also careful on trails that claim no width restrictions. Seems to mean no restrictions for jeeps because there are some TIGHT trails. Can’t imagine more length either.

No hour meter, nobody will care.

Also this is the lowest mileage vehicle I own

 

[Yaj Yak]

how often do you drive this?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Maybe once or twice a month. I need to make it suck less and I’ve been trying to scheme ways to do that.

 

[Yaj Yak]

more pah or what sucks about it ?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

It’s incredibly slow from a stop but then also runs out of omph/rpm at highway speeds. Around town it’s fine, can go 65mph on the flats but trying to go up i70 is horrible.

it either needs more pah or better gearing.....or both.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i forget, do you have an LS sitting somewhere?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I don’t. I’ve been contemplating keeping the 6.2 honestly. If I can get a littler more pah out of it in addition to a gear change I think I’ll be happy. And worst case scenario I still LS swap in the future.

4.10 or 4.56 gears would give it more off the line but would kill highway even more. Right now I have 3.73’s.

I think steeper trans gears and an OD is the way to go. Just hard to find

Same with iroc.

I'd supercharge this bitch

 

[Bub]

5.9 cummins?

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

Bigger turbo ?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I'd supercharge this bitch

seems hard.

5.9 cummins?

That would be more than the entire vehicle

Bigger turbo ?

I think what I have is capable of a bit more, just needs refining. I’ve seen 6.5 guys putting stock hx35 holset turbos on. Probably not very good at my low boost levels.


I’m on the lookout for a different trans. I think that’s the quickest and cheapest solution to my problem.

That’s so many dollars and so far away.

 

[EmersonHart13]

I still love this thing, even if it is slower than slow

you'll have the drive back from Chicago to fall in love with it.

I could build a real silly ls for that amount of money.

and so much weight. soooo much weight.
