Blazer Tested!!!!

[John_Bitting]

We finally got her out and running around. We headed out to Barstow on Friday to do some shakedown runs. Everything went amazing. I could not be happier with the job that was done on the blazer. I had some small issues which I will fix and get it back out asap to put even more miles on it. Huge thank you to Ryan Arciero, for loaning me a trailer, Sean for bringing out Ollie Penchanskys bronco and chasing me around all day and helping check everything over in between stops. What an amazing experience it was to build this thing from the ground up, work with great companies and get a final product that is more then I could have ever expected. I did not take any video or pics really. We are gonna get it back out and Klaus and Curtis will do some filming for me to post. Thank you to everyone who has followed this build.

[Curtis Guise]

bitchin! good job John. Now lets go film.

How noisy is it inside? Do you need an intercom in the dirt like mine?

[John_Bitting]

We had the intercomm headsets on the whole time and it was wonderful, the bypass clicking and motor noise were not issues at all. Dont want to think what it would have been like all day without them though. We even hooked up the ipod for some tunes.

[GAMEOVER]

Man, that blazer is sweet!!! Hope you have fun:)

[Ryno]

That's one BAD MF'er you got there. Congrats!

[Kbach66]

Nice job JB.

It's good to see that you finished a project that at times probably seemed like it would never be finished.

Most people would've quit and started something else a long time ago. I'm sure that first ride felt awesome.

congrats John, Its been a long wait but well worth it! Matt

[Mcadwell]

[Stimpy]

John you've come a long way since Gabe and I helped you push the blazer around at the Off-Road Expo a few years back. Super stoked for you! Now go enjoy the rewards of all that hard work!

[JrSyko]

So stoked for you bud! Does this mean now I'll get a pay back for all the rides I gave you down to Baja on the ol' F 1 fiddy????

[chuckharrisjr]

We actually have had it out since for some photoshoots and more miles. The thing is insane and works great, but we have yet to shoot any video it will happen the next trip. I will post more pics though.

[jeff]

It's WAY more fun to cruise around INSIDE the Blazer than it is standing in the hot desert sun taking video of it. She's a whoop eatin' machine fo' sho!

Aloha

[PrimoRacingEngines]

Holy Crap, thats the best looking chevy ive seen yet

[PreKota]

Truck looks incredible..I second more shots!

[d10r10 racing]

For sale all ready? Seems like a good price too.

[MSS]

whoever buys that thing is getting a great deal.

If we were trying to sell stuff right now, i would be all over it for that price or even if it cost more.

[E&S Racing]

I agree Matt. That Blazer is unreal. Great deal for someone..

[WannaB-class5]

Whats the reason for the sale? You just finished it!

[1wayne]

Looks like a nice truck, Good job!! How does work?

[Steven_Tolbert]

But why john? why?

[aiiraciing]

The cover of Off-Road, very nice John

[ApexKiller]

I did not read the feature yet but it looked good. Just a tip John but use it being in Off Road to push it harder this month, our company has sold 3 trucks on Ebay for GOOD money the same month they were featured in various magazines, it will bring a LOT of attention to the truck.

You live in the same city as Jordan, you should call him and have him bring you a copy. I would be anxious as all hell if I didnt get my copy before hand.

I have been emailing him for two days now. Must be out of town.

[Offset Photography]

Havent been able to get out to buy the issue yet... Hopefully tomorrow! Cant Wait!

[jeff]

I passed him on Monday on the 241... he was heading toward the 91 with a mountain bike in the bed.

[QUOTE=matt_helton;486615]i got mine today and its awesome!! all kinds of love for bms.

"LOVE", I think he's sleeping with one of them by the looks of it. I love the work they did on the dash and console. I must have missed the RDC sticker on there too.

Now now, I gave Off Road all of the proper information for the build. I apologize that they left people out and messed up others. I think everyone on this site knows you built the dash Marty. You will also notice 4 lights instead of 6, and Cory at Rod Benders paint in San Juan became Ron Genders overnight. I guess it happens.

MME did the dash not Blitzkreig.

[glamisrnr]

Dude the truck is AMAZING and I just picked up a copy of the mag just because of your truck, pure AMAZING. I have never seen the Master cylinder setup like that freaking genius.

[Shazaam]

"I have never seen the Master cylinder setup like that freaking genius"


Absolutly!!! I've never seen anything like that either.
