Nothing too fancy but it's a ton of fun.

Here it is the night I picked it up...



And put it in here...



It's tight but it fits...







It's fun in Glamis...



And Gordons...



Makes a great trailer...



It hasn't changed much from the first day we got it...



But it sure looks good with the new axles...



After the axle swap I did the brakes.  The front was a no brainer...



I went to rebuild the rear drums...



But it was cheaper to put disks in the rear...



I don't plan on putting a roof on it so I put a pickup tailgate on it...



I've got lots of work to do and I'll love every bruised knuckle and grease filled cut doing it.

As soon as I get the brakes done I'll be over to see you Bob.

Hey Pete, welcome to the forum...Its good to see ya taking some time to play! The Blazer is looking really good. I am amazed that you can get it in your trailer! Better stay with that sized tire if you plan on using the trailer with it in the future.

For those of you that dont know Pete, He is an awesome designer on Solidworks... If you have a need to hire the best, he is the guy to contact.

again welcome Pete!

Thanks.  The brakes should work out great.  If I ever get some time to finish them I'll be sure to let everyone know the results.  I need to be sure to pick up a new proportioning valve so the rear does not lock up before the front.

U never expect a lifted blazer to be backing out of a toy hauler......fits like a glove. Nice set-up.

It draws quite a crowd when unloading the thing at camp.  People just can't believe it.  After a few days of beating the sand it's funny to see all the people gather around to witness the thing going back in. :o

This last year we were trying to sell our house so we did not get out much.  We gave up on that so we could get back to doing some living.  Now we feel like we need to make up for lost time.  So we are going to be out and about a lot.  No dunes though till it cools a bit.
