Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
Another job well done on that wiper setup. It really fits this one-of-a-kind vehicle, almost gives it that Dakkar Rally look. I also have to give another thumbs up on your wheel choice!

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
Ii finished routing and wiring the wipers. I bought 25 feet of trailer wiring and ran 2 lengths because there's 8 wires. I ran it through the firewall boot and up the a pillar. I drilled a hole through the base of the roof rack and siliconed the hole. I wrapped everything with electrical tape and secured it to the back of the front railing to the wiper. And everything works. Intermittent, low high and park.

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
I swapped out the power window regulator in the tail gate for the manual setup. The gears would jump a tooth every time i tried to roll the glass up, and then it developed a dead short that kept blowing the fuse. Luckily I found the key that fits so i can lock the crank handle.

No updates. Just took her out for lunch and got a really good picture with the Jeep.

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
Very nice! I love the projects that when I see them on the road my brain first says, "Nice!" and then a second later says, "Wait a minute, there's been some work done on that one." Subtle is often more work than brash but stays cool forever.

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
Well, no progress on the Jeep. I'm still collecting parts to swap the engine and three gear sets
But i did put her through the paces A friend of mine posted a 1979 Jeep Cherokee chief wide track for sale. He gave me a friendship price that i couldn't pass up. That was Monday. On Tuesday, dad and i found a gut selling a 1958 short wheel base Chevy panel truck. Included in the purchase was a 2002 Chevy suburban 2500 with a 6.0l, 4l80e, 14-bolt rear with hydroboost. The toy box is officially full. -Josh

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
Josh, Something I see there in your photos concern me & feel its best to mention it. That is, how far back you have those vehicles on the trailer. That is looking for trouble! When you are towing with something "under-sized" (as in, not a Suburban, 1 ton truck or bigger) compared to what you are towing...things can get hairy REAL quick. The problem is you can go along just fine & then you come across the wrong dip/ripple or wet road & the backend gets light & its real hard to "catch it". Especially without a weight distribution hitch set-up & sway bar, the placement needs to be carefully considered.
The old saying: "Tail wagging the dog" comes to mind. If you look at the photo of the panel truck...your Jeep backend is actually UP in the air due to the amount of weight behind the trailer axle. Just My Thoughts, Lorne |

The panel truck is just a roller. I tried to center the load around the wheels. It took me 90 minutes to go 45 miles getting it home. We talked about towing it home with the suburban that came with it. We learned that it only had a hitch receiver attached to the bumper, not the frame. Plus is has 5 year old gasoline in the tank alpine with a bottle of seafoam and sta-bil. Dad said it felt like it Was running on 4 cylinders and it wouldn't have gotten out of the guy's yard with a loaded trailer. -Josh

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
Calm down, Josh. I'll make you a killer package deal on everything you need to make it a sweet ride.
I might even take your Saab as partial trade so i can cut it up for the panel truck swap. - Josh

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
A full toy box is a good thing. I've always liked the Cherokee's!

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
Man, what a haul! Love the Cherokee and the '58 panel is beyond cool. Get the suburban running good enough to haul the others around and you got it covered. That panel though, I'd be hard pressed not to jump into it with both feet right off.
