Hello all. Let me start by saying this is a great place for info on 4x4's, I am glad I found it. I live in Ardmore AL. If anyone here wants to get together and wheel then let me know. Right now I drive a big rig across this great nation, but I am looking to do something else that allows me time to be home more. I own an 87 K5 Blazer, 350, 700r4, 208, d44 front 10b rear. It's stock right down to the build sheet in the glove box. I plan to mod it into a good camping/wheeling rig, with 4" lift, 38" tires, new bumpers, and a 465 trans. Here is a picture of it as it sits now.

:welcome: to our little hole in the wall.

I think you will find that there isn't a lot of newbie bashing here.
Like smalltowncowboy said it's just everyone helping everyone.......
or wheelers helping wheelers.
From mild to wild and everything in between.

Goofy, Not long ago for the first time ever (I think), my wife road in a 4x4 with me and the kids. We road a small tract of land not far from here, mostly mud holes. Anyway she wants her own now. I have yet to get to a good trail system, when we do, she should be hooked.
