Originally a tractor, but was stretched somewhere along the way. (Its done right)

Ive decided to run with no tow rig this year, I have had too much fun driving the TrailBlazer to the trails.

I know you just got this. Why sell it?

I thought you were building a tow rig out of it.

I know it was rough, but I would like to see interior shots.

I still have my pickup and trailer, but mostly just because I don't plan on using it. I will drive to Moab this year.

I haven't found anything with the truck that changed my mind, actually the opposite. Runs great, stops great, etc.

Ill run out here in a bit and get pics. Anything specific? Seats, dash, sleeper, etc, should cover it.

Only if the jeep is already sold and the buyer hands me the cash. Lol

I just have too many rigs, 7 total if you count my trailer, 8 if you count the 33 chevy shell.

man, a 24' bed would fit two "normal" Jeeps on it (stock bodied CJ/YJ/TJish Jeeps). You could still tow more Jeeps or a camp trailer without breaking a sweat

There is 18" in front of the bed that would allow a rig to be pulled farther forward. So 25' 6" from the cab to the end of the bed.

What is the loading situation on the back? Ramps I presume?

Any clue what kind of mileage one could expect out of this with say two rigs on it?

I havent driven it enough to know what the mileage will be. But, figure a 80,000lb tractor trailer will get 5-7mpg depending on how you drive it. This with the overdrive trans will allow you to go faster, but should yield better mileage if kept down around 65mph. Im guessing around 10mpg.

Loading will be up to the buyer, I havent built ramps yet. So its loading docks, or build some 8' long or so ramps


Someone could also cut and lower the rear of the deck into a dove to help aid with the loading angle and not lose any deck.
