[jwglover]

here are a few pics of Disney Ok, about a year ago.



going down the waterfall, of coarse you had to go up first and then turn around


not a good pic ,but going through little blue


going up the Grand Staircae,, this is the second ledge


this is the final step on the Grand Staircase


not sure who this guy was , he was part of another club, we was waiting for them to come down a hill, so we could go up ,, and he fell down , so we stopped to help him get back on his feet

Great pics!
You know, it doesn't matter what angle you take a pic of the Grand staircase from, it just doesn't look like much unless you see it in person.

How does the Blazer do going up the right side of the waterfall?

[wrekd]

Man that place looks fun. Sweet pics!!

[DieselS10]

I hope you don't mind, but I thought I'd throw a few old pics from Disney into the mix.

This was right after I did the 1st SFA swap on it with 35's and was the 1st time I took it crawlin, probably 11-12 years ago. John started me out right!
My poor truck sure looked better when it was all one color.









Anyway, I'll look through my old pics, I have a ton of them from there.

[jwglover]

I couldnt make it up the right side of the waterfall,, ,never could get the right line,,I kept hitting my rockslider or my lower four link bar, I helped 3 other people in our group up it,

[jwglover]

I notice the steps are off on the waterfall pic,,, those rocks would have taken them off quickly !

[DieselS10]

I think my wheelbase is what got me up it,.....well that and Gump. I would set & spin with the rear tires up against the ledge and Gump would grab the rear bumper from behind and raise up on it and make it look like he was letting it pull him up. If he didn't do that it would not go up it! Kinda funny.

I'm not sure what steps your talking about though.?

[jwglover]

your last picture you have some steps under the doors bolted to the rockers.

[DieselS10]

Oh, I got ya. Yeah, John suggested I remove them before I tried that one. lol

I just about peeled them off several times. The right side would have got them for sure, that's the only place that I ever dented it. I pushed a little dent in my passenger side rocker.

[jwglover]

hopefully we can get back down there this spring,, it needs to warm up a bit for me.

[DieselS10]

You and me both, I hate cold.

PM me when you know when your going there, I'll meet you over there. I doubt mine will be ready, but I'd sure like to see your's in action.

[jwglover]

there is a guy on here , Archie, doing the 83-84 s10 build,he is from the witchita area,, maybe he will be ready too, I thought we could all hook up and wheel. Maybe ?

[DieselS10]

That would be fun, just go easy on me.

Gump should have his done by then also. I know how it will do, it's everything I took out of mine, but with a his version of a long-arm 4 link front and 5 more inches of wheelbase.

[jwglover]

you still have the 38 s ? mine only has 39.5 close to the same.

[DieselS10]

Yeah I still have 38's, but I'm one lunging it in both axles. Money has been a little tight lately so i haven't got my lockers yet, well that and the wife is still having a hard time getting over the eleven grand I've already spent on it, but this will give me a good reason to get 'em! Can't let me friends down, right!

[jwglover]

that would be tough for her to forget....
you can swing it though

[archie87]

like the blazer i saw you up a tuttle creek last year I think it was last
spring sometime. We were in small group watching you go up the big ledges. looks great though.

[Wrkn prgs]

crazy!

[indytrucks]

I could be blind but do you not have acage in that thing jwglover? I know Disney has some gnarly stuff an you dont necessarily have the best COG. Other than that man nice pics. Did anyone happen to get any vids?

[jwglover]

Nope , no cage,, I have thought about building one, but I really dont do anything too radical,,

We are going down this spring, hopefully we can get some video then.

Same here^^

Here are a couple of videos I took this last fall from Disney.

[archie87]

I never caught the going down to disney part this spring the first time I looked at this, I would for sure be game for meeting up and going down there sometime. I was wanting to plan a trip when the truck got done, looks like a awsome place to wheel, when though is the question, money. Hopefully this spring. I would like to go down to kansas rocks sometime also, never been there either

[DieselS10]

I live 30 minutes from there. so I'm in whenever you guys are. I talked to Gump (GumpsBlackS10) and he is going to have his ready to go over there and anothere friend ended up with the sas'd 2nd gen that Gump had and he is going to try to get it ready, I'll be surprised if he does though. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing your rigs in action.

[jwglover]

I would skip the Ks Rocks, it is more for suvs on 33's , it is a lot of dirt trails not much for big obsticles..
Disney is worth the drive and you will have lots of fun

[indytrucks]

Dude, anymore info on the S10 in that second vid? That thing is sik! Is it blown or am I hearing things?

[DieselS10]

It's actually a mid '80's Nissan and yes it is bad. I didn't get a chance to talk to the guy and I never looked at the engine, but it was either blown or had a gear drive unit. The way it acted, I believe it was a blower. If I see him over there with it again I'll get a little more info on it. He ran a line up that particular obstacle that I hadn't seen done before and I've watched a lot of rigs try that spot.

[DieselS10]

Well, the guy that I thought probably wouldn't get the 2nd Gen finished is hard at it trying to get it finished, well...usable for this spring. He has already mounted the 38's on it and he brought over an '87 Suburban Saturday and began pulling the 350/700/208 combo to put in the S10. Then he has to wire it up, redo the steering setup, get the driveshafts, and weld the diffs, oh, and have my dad rebuild the engine. I think he will get it ready in time, if it looks like he isn't going to get it done in time me and Gump will jump in on it.

Gump is also making progress on his. All he lacks is the exhaust, the seat, carpet (I know), and finishing some welding. BTW, I'm ordering my rear locker this week and I almost have the Mustang finished that's been taking up most of my spare time, so I'll be able to get mine ready as well. This should be some fun crawlin with that many S10's.

[jwglover]

all that is good news Diesel, maybe we will have a good crowd for Disney,, Archie looks like he is doing alot to his also

[archie87]

Ya Ive been working alot Im gonna try to get started on the motor in next couple of weeks. Need to order a cam and oil pump and a few other little things. I would really like it to be ready for a trip sometime in the spring or summer

Sounds good. My group will be ready when ever you guys are.

[jwglover]

Sounds good to me

[archie87]

Man you guys are giving me a deadline!

[DieselS10]

You can do it!

Are you guys gonna make to the Big Meat Run in March?

[jwglover]

depending on the weather, I will try to make it to the big Meat run,
if it is cold and nasty I probably wont make it,, how about you ?

[DieselS10]

Unless it's just terrible outside I'll be there, probably just on my quad though since there will be so many people there.

[jwglover]

I went two years ago and it wasnt that bad, I heard friday was very busy, but we were there sat and sunday ,
It is nice to see other rigs out ans to see what works and doesnt work. It can get yo some good idea on how to build or change something

[DieselS10]

Gump has his exhaust all done, the front axle shaft fixed, fans wired, found a bed and put it on it, etc. I think all he lacks is finishing welding some of the brackets and double checking things, so his will for sure be there. I starting to have my doubts that the other will be ready, but he is trying.

I'll try to get some pics of them in the next day or two.

[jwglover]

so far I plan on going, hoping for good weather
I am glad you guys wil be down there, hopefully we should have a good time

[DieselS10]

Here are a few shots of Gumps that we took last weekend. It's driving now, but just needs a few things buttoned up. I'm going to work on his truck this weekend while he finished getting the Mustang that I've been rebuilding ready for paint, we are both sick of working on them so we are switching for the weekend. At least this way I will feel safer riding in his truck. lol.

Anyway, here is his pile in it's current state.

[jwglover]

looks ready to wheel !

It's close! I have to figure out why it's flooding so bad 1st. He isn't going to take it over there this weekend though. We are basically going to be spectators, but we'll be there!

[black_blazer]

[jwglover]

It was a blast, but I sure wish I would have got to see the old Blazer in action. Next time lets get together (when all the rigs are ready) when there isn't an event going on. I promise I'll have mine and Gump's ready to wheel by the time your kids get out of school. Seeing all that again really got me ready to get mine ready to wheel, I really think I can get it up the ledge where your front shaft gave out on you!

Edit: BTW, I have some pics & videos I'll post up later also.
