K-5 Blazer in Action: Today, while “hunting” (also known as serious 4-wheeling), we went into an area with a “bury you” mud hole… the evil k-5 was in the front, me in my bronco right behind him…. he went into the hole, and I do mean INTO the hole, it swallowed him… pushing mud with front bumper… had to back out.. after spinning his tires for like 30 seconds, he finally made it out… had a route around it, sorta, to put left tires up on the left side, right side still in mud.. he damn near didn’t make it through….. not so for my Bronco…..
Not only did I make it through the “Blazer Swallowing Mud Pit”…. I pulled into the MIDDLE and STOPPED… let the mud soak around the tires… stomped it to the floor and threw mud 20 ft. in the air….
On the return trip…. Mr. Blazer yet again took the high road, now on the right and made it through with his left side damn near buried in the hole… this time, I put the Bronco in the middle, stopped… idled out of it :-)
So, in the next mud hole… my good buddy, being the great friend that he is, thought he would pull a fast one and sling mud all over my windshield… oh no, I seen him backing up into the mud hole he just went through… seen him sliding the transfer case into 2WD… I backed up and waited for him to finish… waving at him through my nearly clean (clean other than what I had already put on there) windshield…. on the way out of the mud hole in 2wd, he slung himself into a tree… the passenger got out and looked at the front end, I thought he hit the tree, turns out, he didn’t…. he busted a tire!
Not only did he take a beating in the mud from my bronco… he busted a tire and me, being the great friend that I am, loaned him tools and helped him change tires :-) isn’t it a wonderful day?
I’ll give the guy some credit: 1) he’s a better driver than me and 2) he had All Terrain Tires, rather than my mudders… but no matter how you stack it…. it’s a great day when a Full Size Bronco beats up a Full Size K5 Blazer…. life is good. :-)
