Hey guys, I've been a member for a while now (OB# 0343) but never got on the forums. When I saw the app I figured it was time to get with the program!

I'm located in the Charleston area South Carolina. I know there's not a ton of east coasters, especially in SC, so if you're close by give me a shout!

My current rig/dd (the Batmobile):
-Reg cab 2000 Chevy S10
-Grand Wagoneer Dana 44 axles front and rear
-35x12.50r15 General Grabber mt's

The Batmobile will be going into surgery for LOTS of upgrades here soon, spring over in the front, lockers, lots of things to gusset/plate/relocate, bumper, winch, etc etc etc, and something big that'll make it a true overlanding rig.

In the mean time, I just picked up an 01 ZR2 Blazer that will take up the helm as dd until the truck is finished. Afterwards the ZR2 will be getting a d30 SAS and some armor!

Here's a pic of the truck:

Very nice! :smiley:

I looked into getting a Chevy S-10 a few years ago, but ended up getting a rwd Volvo instead.

I would also like a set of General Grabbers as I can't find the BF Goodrich KO2's for my rig.

Nice looking rig. How do you like the G. Grabbers? Contemplating a set for mine.
Thanks man! Grabbers are great! They can cake up a little in thick mud but the skinny pedal does wonders to clean them.

Great in the rain, wear very well, I have almost 10k on them and they still look new, grab good on rocks, one of the quietest MT I've ever had/heard. Can't speak on ice/snow performance since we don't get that where I'm at in SC

Nothing really down this way unless you don't mind being on the other side of the law. Francis Marion is a legal option but if I were you, I'd go north to Gulches if you haven't already been!
