Undoing my hard work

[Doug Krebs]

You know that blazer would tow nicely behind the F-150 on a gooseneck. I estimate twice as good. If I have 8000 lbs behind dodge on a bumper pull, it handles much worse than 14000 lbs on a gooseneck. That little trailer of mike's would work great.

Now you mother ****ers are smoking crack!

Only good thing that came out of this is I think it looks ****ing bad ass...

I tell only the truth.

Short bed F150s don't like to tow anything. Trust me.

Remove the body and tube buggy it on that frame...

Ditto. That frame is an excellent starting point. Look at ORD's Wally blazer.

[Sharpe]

Yah but Stephen Watson said the only reason the stock blazer frame is still there is because it'd be too much of a PITA to remove it.

I was also thinking, I dont like my current trailer. The quality on it sucks and the ride with it attached to my truck. I was thinking I'm probably gonna get a new trailer next summer anyway, so I might as well get a gooseneck. Goosenecks with 20-22 foot decks are prety easy to find used and my truck already has a hole in the bed and the mount on the frame for the hitch. 20' and 10k pounds are pushing the limits of a bumper pull trailer anyway.

He has a F350 he could use as a tow rig

I say keep the fawker together till at least TCC. Take a little more leisurely pace and fix the current problems, and anything else you're not comfortable with. Then bring it out to mason in febuary with us and flog it. Then rebuild and repeat for TCC. At least get something back for all the time you spent prepping it for clayton

I've been trying to get the 'laws to do this to theirs. I think it would be the proverbial shiznit.

Or, I have a buddy who is chopping his up. Floorboard and firewall is all that's left. The body will be narrower than a YJ tub when he's done. 4" of lift, 117" WB, and 44" boggers. Sounds like a good time to me

See Doug, I'm not the only one. It would be quick AND kick as. C'mon, all of the cool kids are doing it! http://tamor.org/forums/showthread.php?t=6922

I would put the 10-bolt back under it and keep it.

I think he should pull the body and make a buggy out of it. That is my plan for the bronco.

Just curious, why would you do that? The body is pretty trashed.

And Happy Birthday!

I agree with the 10-bolt action. If things work out the way you want, and you acquire property at some point down the road, you'll be kicking yourself in the ass for ditching a perfectly good ranch vehicle.

[BMFScout]

drive it the way it is until you need any of the parts, get to work parting out that other piece of **** in your driveway.

Well, he has all the stuff to go back to 10-bolt fun for free, so he can have a running, some what reliable (if you clean the body grounds) truck for free. His dad will let him park it at the property. He can use it 2 or 3 times a year when we go to the property, or if Jerry wants to pull it for him. Then once Doug graduates, has a job, and is making the big bucks he can make a buggie, and if he needs to pull parts off of it.
