Welcome Matt. I just sold my K5 that I was going to build. I have A.D.D. And decided to go Commando instead

However I still have a passion for the K5's. That looks like a well built rig. Tell us more about it!

I dig Commandos and Scramblers, yours look familiar to me. My rig is an 87' Blazer with an 05 GM 6.0L with a 4L80E. I pulled them from a wreck with 52K on the odometer. it has a 2 spd Atlas, wish I had held out for the 4 spd or done the tried and true doubler... custom 4link front suspension done @ Sexton Ofroad, rear is just standard 6" leafs. D60 in the front and 14 bolt rear, ARBs in both, 4:88s, 40" Maxxis' tires, also 42" Swampers...

It works good, drives amazing even at highway speeds.

Matt i believe I have been out once at 5MP and last year at WOTR on Johns trail with you, welcome!

 

[1tonblazer]

Yup, I remember both of those rides, I especially remember drooling all over your hydro static rig your son was sporting on John's trail. I hope to see it again in Jan...

Thanks jinx, I like a lot of trails, really enjoy Pritchett and the Maze and you can never go to wrong with Hells. I'm not sure I know what you mean by a calendar trail run?...
