Little did this ’87 Blazer suspect when it rolled off the assembly line what would lie in store for it later on down the road. Long gone are the days of spinning 27-inch rubber over tarmac. The Chevy has spent the last two years growing into a mud flingin’, tire spinnin’, take-no-prisoners boggin’ machine with help from Darin Pake of Bethel, Minnesota. Darin says he began the buildup “because that’s what real guys do.” Well, real guys must also attend the Minnesota Mud & More event because that’s where we caught Darin and his ’87 playing with the big boys.
