Friend had something about it months ago when he was trying to get rid of it and his old K10 Blazer (blown tranny). His parents gave him a nice Explorer (Eddie Baure or a Limited, not sure) that just needed about $800 worth of work done to it. This was like a late 90s model. Still had a solid rear axle. The small Blazer has been confined to his back yard looking for a home. It was a gift from his bro and he only dropped in a CD player.
Of course I gotta teach myself to drive a stick. Shouldn't be too hard because of the quad. Everything I've driven has always been AT, except for this POS fork lift we have at the office that I'm not sure you could stall with the brake on. LOL

I hope this thing is that way. Wished it had that 4.3 V6 though. NICE motor. Loved it in the Sonoma. Though the 4.6 in the 150 gets better mileage. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Went and looked at the trailer[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Dry, it weighs 8500 lbs[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I can live with that. Needs some TLC, which I can give, and I am looking for a project to work on[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Need to find a 5th wheel receiver to lengthen it 10-12 inches like the newer trailers. Might even get away from a sliding 5th wheel hitch if it's lengthen[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Now I wish I had a long bed[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Feeling a little cooped up with all that estrogen running around? [quote]
You got that right[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
I assume you mean pin box? The part that mounts to the trailer?
You are correct, after searching the internet[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I figured that out[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
I wish I had a long bed too, but hey, I'll take what I got.
I would too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
