Boggin' In The Blazer

[dream on mcss]

So I convinced my mom to let me bog her blazer in the mud, and it turned out being really fun. I had a bunch of my friends go to watch me and take vids so I thought I'd share with you guys. The first run was through the easy stuff and ended up goin pretty well, the blazer went right on through. The second run was through some thicker mud that was a bit deeper. Put her in 4 high, kept my foot on the floor and she went right through again. The third run wasn't on video but went through the thicker stuff on the left. Followed the same routine with the same results. Now the FOURTH run was where it gone fun. This time I went around the part on the right side (cant see it in the video) where you had to turn to get through. I went around halfway and started heading back, still in 4 high, foot on the floor, was doing great! Then I started slowing down, more and more, said "oh sh*t!" hit the 4 low button but it didn't engage in time... I was STUCK!!! I kept trying to rock my way out by going forward, reverse, forward again but it didn't help. Luckily my friend pulled me out with his durango and I didn't even have to get out to hook the tow strap up! All in all it was pretty fun which is good because my moms never gonna let me do that again, lol! Yeah I offered to pay for the car wash too, 6 bucks later it was still dirty! But yeah it was a fun day and it did good for a completely stock blazer.

EDIT: Im putting the vids on imageshack so everyone can see them idk how to make it on facebook so anyone can view them...

You have to be in neutral to put it in 4 low. Looking forward to the videos. Just got some 33's for my Blazer today!

Oh damn i didnt know you had to be in neutral!! I just thought you had to keep it moving so i had the pedal to the floor thinking that it would go in for nothing. I guess thats why i heard a clunk when i put it in reverse!!! Thanks for telling me that though. Well it did pretty good in 4 high so i wasnt complaining, just wish someone would've gotten me on video when i got stuck lol. Anyways i put the first vid up. Im uploading the second one right now.

Yeah thats all I have but for a completely stock blazer with road tires I think it did pretty well. I think this might end up being my first car too, and its in great shape.

Mud is fun, but it breaks stuff quick, hahaha.

back when my zr2 was stock on 31x10.50 trxus muds. took days to clean all the mud out of the frame and from under the body. one tip is park the truck and put a sprinkler under it for an afternoon. she will come clean alot easier

now since the lift i prefer trail riding over mudding

sorry to be a picture wh*re

and the new wheels

There's no such thing as being a picture wh*re when you have a truck that looks that good! And yeah oldsmoletick I bet! I was really worried about breaking something but the blazer did just fine and I had alot of fun drivin it. And yeah thanks for the tip mebe yeah I'll try that cause there's still a shitload of weeds on the underbody now and my mom was kinda pissed about that. It was a good time though I gotta admit...
