Bite your tongue Tzone, my truck is the big brother to your truck. No Chevy in my garage stall! Pure unadulterated F250 baby! But oh man, those pictures! Does that give me the Fall Fever bad! Dadgumit Dave, why'd ya have to go and post them anyway? Plus, it kinda makes my point that he had to have a four wheeler push his truck through the mud....

Bite your tongue Tzone, my truck is the big brother to your truck. No Chevy in my garage stall! Pure unadulterated F250 baby! So the wife parks outside then? Did you not say you're looking to sell a Blazer? :Grin: But oh man, those pictures! Does that give me the Fall Fever bad! Dadgumit Dave, why'd ya have to go and post them anyway? Plus, it kinda makes my point that he had to have a four wheeler push his truck through the mud.... Fourwheeler was used to pull blazers out, right Muffy? That Tundra is/was one hell of a truck. Not one thing wrong with it, EVER. Nuttin', zip, zilch, nada! Pretty much the only reason I didn't get another, was because I didn't test drive one. I wanted a F-150, so I didn't drive a Tundra because I'm sure I'd have bought it instead. I've had two Toyotas and they were both fantastic. I will not ever buy another "non-classic" Chevy again. And it has nothing to do with Obama. It has everything to do with the POS that I owned, that they built.

Well Tzone, the Tundra would have prolly gotten stuck if it had ever seen a gravel road!
Some would say, if you havent gotten it stuck, you aint drivin' it! Well you can't exactly call the chickenbuck road gravel. It went through some good stuff. Pulling a trailer to boot. The first year I was up there, truthfully, I was surprised it made it through. That stuff was deep. On the way out, it was 2x4. No Chevy's doin that. ah hem....my chebby did it

Tom, Dave tried to pull me out with the Prowler but that wouldn't do it. He had to go get the tractor and lift my front end up because I was hung up good. I don't have the clearance that the big trucks do.
I am out of order until further notice. My "stupid people" filter needs cleaning and my "give a damn" batteries have run out.

In all fairness, apples to apples would be Missy's trailblazer to a smaller suv family like ford .... hell what do they call them?....
Maybe an explorer or something similar?
Defiantely by scale alone there is a disadvantage, tire diameter, clearance etc...
Not fair comparing the trailblazer to full sized trucks.
But I'm just pointing out the obvious...
So, how about the trail blazer vs the ford raptor!!! Wooooo!!
Git r done!! Lol!!

Wine bro, I'm going to make about a 15 gallon batch of choke cherry wine.
Of course it wont be aged enough to drink until 2012 deer season but... Still, it'll be fun.

A couple friends of mine found an old storm cellar on an abandoned farm in south central North Dakota. There were quite a few bottle of chokecherry wine that had been there for a really long time. I dont know how it tasted but I do know those guys were really glad there was a roll of chit tickets behind the seat of the truck.

ohhhhh, yeah I don't know how well it could endure seasons of -30 to 100 temp swings.
In a more stable temp rang I think it would be fine for decades but it aint whisky!

I think we'll find something to work until it's aged enough.

the cellar was well below ground, i dont know if it froze down there or not, I do remember them saying it was really tough to get down there because all of the steps had rotted away.

Don't care if you like them or not, like most who like what they have. It was flat out the best vehicle Ive ever had. This will have to be one heck of a truck to be better than it. I do like the power this one has over the Tundra. The new Tundra's have even more than this F-150. Like I said, if I drove one, I'd most likely have it in the garage. Right now there is one in Stall #2.
Let's be honest here mini van man....it's your wifes garage and she lets you park there.

Chuck Norris drives a Raptor. Just sayin. My SIL just informed me that his dad bought a 2012 Mustang GT (400+ HP). If I'm lucky I might get a ride in it someday.
