Hi Carl-Hi everyone, Carl Sandvik here from So. Cal. (Chino Hills)
I have an 89 K5 Blazer which I've owned for 14 years. I purchased it from a friend of mine who made several modifications, but in the last 4 years, I've really pushed a purposed build focus. I love longer overlanding trips, but this K5 is capable in the rocks too. I have a nice group of local friends who enjoy day trips and/or at least one multi day trip on Mojave Trail each year. My next build is upgrading axles for heavier duty when in the rocks but also improve ride with some top quality springs (to tame the beast). I've gotten into welding and fab work in the past several years, making it a great hobby to help friends build/fix their rigs regardless if its a shock tab or a tire carrier.
I look forward to joining some local runs, volunteering for trail improvement and/or working on rigs.
Carl

I am totally new to this, but also from SoCal (Orange County). I would love to get in touch if you and your friends do another Mojave Road run; I would like to do it solo, but think it is probably best to get some experience with a group first. If you're are even looking for a +1, I would love to join.
