MiniSimp's 1985

[MiniSimp]

For me it was cool, being so low and wide, but for the Blazer it sucked ass!

[*** YELLER ***]

Why yes, yes it did

I seem to recall the trip up and down like this

[BLACKDOG]

Why yes, yes it did

I seem to recall the trip up and down like this

  that was our run from buk in to the springs, but with our eyes closed!! 

[*** YELLER ***]

So let me get this straight  not only do you not have a BLACK DOG  but you drive with your eyes closed  what the hell is going on here 

[mikerob]

Doing it in the dark with no rocklights was just about as bad as doing it with your eyes closed

[BLACKDOG]

So let me get this straight  not only do you not have a BLACK DOG  but you drive with your eyes closed  what the hell is going on here 

its called driving by braille   you should try it sometime

in Mini's truck when he isn't around

Doing it in the dark with no rocklights was just about as bad as doing it with your eyes closed

ad I almost broke a headlight then   from two lights down to one, I may have had to use one of my DOT approved zipties to strap my maglight to the front of the truck

More pictures I've snagged from other threads:

My wife and kid determine my deadline, so It'll be kinda slow.

Works for me, just make sure you're going wheelin with me!
