Following our articles about SUV’s with Four Wheel Campers, I had a reader write me to tell me about the Chevy K5 Blazer Chalets group on Yahoo. This group of Blazer Chalet and GMC Jimmy Casa Grandes know more about these unique camperized SUV’s than I will ever hope to know! It is definatly worth checking them out!

In response to our article last week wondering where all the tank monster trucks from the 80′s went to, here is the rebuild of the Virginia Beach Beast! According to the thread at Monster Mayhem , the monster is going through a complete rebuild. It looks like it will take a lot of work, but I know that fans around the nation will be happy to see the beast when it is done!

Expedition Portal is one of my favourite websites. While I love off road racing, sometimes it is just nice to get into the outback and enjoy nature with friends and family. Expedition Portal is a great website that is based on a group of individuals from around the world that love to explore in their 4×4′s and on their motorbikes. Some of the members are travelling the world on a two year expedition, while others are trying to explore their local mountains with their family whenever possible. One thing they all share is a love for the outdoors and their vehicles of choice.

Recently, I posted a message in the forum about the recent camperized Ford Bronco articles we published here , here and here. Unknown to me, Four Wheel Campers is a member of the forum and Stan responded with some info about the FW campers used on Broncos, Blazers, and International Scouts. Basicly, Stan mentioned that they are no longer manufacturing the campers (which I knew) and that they would not build a custom one. It turns out that it is just not profitable for them. I can understand not manufacturing them if they do not make money like their current models do. It is too bad. I think it was a great concept!

Make sure to check out the photos on the > Four Wheel Camper website as well as some from this post on Classic Broncos.com Lets hear some of your comments!

Some of you may recall our Big Oly Bronco articles here and here . While the Bill Stroppe truck was ahead of it’s time, there was a lot of wild vehicles that followed a few years later. Take for example, Frank “Scoop” Vessels Chevrolet Blazer. I came across these photos on the Old Photos thread on Race Dezert.com. This has become one of the largest collections of old off desert racing photos that I have ever seen. There is a lot of history there and it is easy to loose an hour or more reading all the stories and viewing the photos!
