Another FNG!

Hi everyone. My name is Ryan. I'm new obviously new on here (that's why I'm posting here lol). I decided to sell my fourwheeler, and get back into the offroading scene. I've owned 3 Jeeps (CJ5, CJ7, YJ, and my DD stock '99 XJ I bought brand new), and I decided to try something different this time. I picked up a '91 S10 2dr Blazer. I brought it home, ripped out the IFS, and threw a dana 60 under the front. I still have a bit of work to do before I'm ready to take it out, but I hope to have it usable by March or April. Until then, I've got my stock XJ to get me around the easy stuff. I'm exited to get back out on the trails and have some fun!

Welcome. Let's see some pics of your rig, it sounds sweet.

It still has a ways to go, but I'm hoping to have it trail ready in Mar-Apr. Picked it up for $475 back in September. It was stock, with a pretty fresh 4.3 V6. Ran and drove good. I was able to pick up a set of axles out of a '88 F350 (Dana 60HP front, Sterling rear) for $200! So over the last couple months, I've ripped out the IFS, and got my 60 mounted up. I'm waiting for the weather to get better before I do the rear end (I have to move it out to the driveway, or I'm not going to be able to get it out of the garage lol). Still have a lot of other things I can work on until then.

That's my DD XJ behind the motorhome (only pic I could find). Its bone stock, other than the front bumper so I could tow it behind the Motorhome. I bought it new easter weekend of '99.

I sold it a little over a year ago, and haven't seen it since it drove away. The guy lives in West Jordan, and I've been watching for it.
