Looks like the deck and neck of the trailer are flexing a bit huh? Clean Dodge though.

the front and rear tire were both flat on the other side, the only one up was the center, one was flat when i left the mud pit and didnt know it and the tire rolled off the wheel and ended up somewhere in the swamp and the other popped when i made the sharp turn into the driveway........they werent long for the world anyways......i got 3 brand new 6K pound 8 lug Dexter axles setting at a guys house im going to be getting before too long......then im going to have the trailer taken down to the local spring shop and have them put under it......

That is a sharp truck. I might have to agree with Hay mafia, but still a nice rig.

I'm disappointed, not only did you not flip the blazer...you didn't get that green and yellow crap off the bumper up there...did you at least get second gear fixed?


Longest ride ever man...jesse blacks back to your house. Thought she was gonna die when we got to Wendy's. All in good fun though.
