The whole reason I bought the dually. To tow THIS! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jeeps are what I'm about. My first ride was a Cherokee, second was my Wrangler and now I have the dually. I got the truck for the sole reason to tow my Jeep (and most likely my buddies as well) back and forth to the trails.

This is the Jeep. Pics of the easy stuff anyway.

nice, i like jeeps. They are so much fun, except when you are upside down in them.

Kenbo-Slice · 01-24-2010, 10:47 PM

I was just browsing through your build thread yesterday, nice job man! I like it a lot!

Oh and yeah.... Upside down in a Jeep is no bueno haha.

nuke1 · 01-24-2010, 10:57 PM

Thanks, ya i have had my experience with them. Right now i got a 79 scout rally II that my dad bought new, so that will be my next wheeler. closer to stock thou.

Kenbo-Slice · 01-24-2010, 11:10 PM

Yeah man, I would love to build a Scout! I just joined a club and we have two rides a month. Most of the trails are pretty hardcore so driving to the trails, beating on the Jeep and driving home were too much to worry about. The solution is the dually, haha.
This summer I want to weld in a full cage and switch the rear suspension to long arms. The pretty factor on my truck is waiting..... As long as it pulls 6-14,000lbs and stops it I don't care how it looks right now.

Yup, JEEPs are my first love. I have built three now, all pre 71's. Right now I have a 55' with 13k orig documented miles that I am bring back to 100% orig as possible

I came VERY close to buying a 1946 CJ2A. My mothers cousin is a GoodGuys show coordinator. He saw it, bought it, offered it to me for what he payed. Even though I wanted it sooo bad it hurt, I told him to try to sell it for more than he paid.... Needless to say, a guy from 6 hours away drove to his house pushed it out of his garage started it, handed him $7,000 and dropped the tow bar onto his pickup and drove away with it. 30,000 original miles and the original body! I should have done it, but I say everything happens for a reason! Do you have any pics of your Jeeps?

dauntless_powered · 04-28-2010, 07:47 PM

This is the only one I have on this computer, let me find some more if I can

dauntless_powered · 04-28-2010, 07:50 PM

these are old, before I had redone the interior, bumpers, and engine bay. I can post more when I get to my other computer. Nice looking TJ btw!!

D-Rat · 04-29-2010, 11:02 AM

Pfft. Trailer queen.

Kenbo-Slice · 05-01-2010, 09:06 AM

Hahaha! I'm happy to be a trailer queen now! There was a lot of daily driving and wheeling the piss out of it! I just got tired of worrying about breaking and not getting home/to work!

Dauntless, that is a thing of beauty! I love it!!!!!

As for pictures of the dually, ill post em up later, I'm on my Blackberry at the moment,

Kenbo-Slice · 05-02-2010, 09:10 AM

Pics of the dually.....

It's nothing special yet, but I have big plans for it! I would like to do a 12V Cummins swap... Maybe in a couple years.
