Yes the Blazer has the basic Rock Tamers. I regret not buying the Rock Tamers with the metal weights on the bottom. At faster speeds, the non weight Tamers flap around more. They are made of good construction and tough. I love the adjustability they have. So far they are doing quite well on the...

Great idea!!! I think a base station ham radio and Solargizer panels is a great idea. I've been busy with work and my blazer, plus it's winter so I put the project on hold for now. Will post more updates in about 2 months:)
Thanks! I can't wait to take her out this winter!
Thank ya! I like your idea on that build u plan on doing. That's nice! Looks like home on wheels.
Thanks!
Much thanks! With this momma, I can go camping year round in any weather condition on almost any terrain.
Thanks! Wow thats a cool rig ya got there! Yea not very many people have done this. Usually peeps put it on a m105 trailer so they don't have to cut but they are sooooo heavy for the off-road. Weight is a big thing when it comes to off-road.I'm sure you know:beer:
Yea it for sure the icing on...
Thanks! I'll get ya some more pics of the inside and with it popped up when I'm off work:)
Yea you prob think I'm stupid or crazy for cutting up a nice 3/4 ton trailer. But look at my truck... It's on it's last thread... The truck is a good truck but it's too long for what I want for the...
After mounting, there's a 1 1/2" gap between rails of trailer and camper. Will get filled in with wood.
See how the extension of the camper was hitting the wheel well? Not any more! Muahahaha:)
And now for the sexy part!
I took her on the interstate. She sailed smoothly over bumps...
So I test fitted to see if it would fit... Awe man! It doesn't!!!!! The wheel wells are in the bloody way! Ok ok no problem. I called up my bro and asked if he had a sawzall. Yep!
The camper had a lower lip on the front preventing it from sliding it all the way to the front of the trailer...
Ok! Looking good! Now for the camper:) 1970 Alaskan vintage rare old school pop up camper. She is loaded with a fridge/freezer that runs off of either, 110v or propane or 12v, 3 burner propane stove, 30 gal water tank, sink, radiant heater (propane), table that converts into bed, 2 1/2 gal...
I think some bigger tires is needed. Found me a cheap set of alum 16.5x10 rims and 35/12.5/r16.5 BFG A/T tires. I got them mounted, balanced and cleaned up. Then slapped them on the trailer.
I'm tired of tents, setting up camp, cold hard ground, cold/hot temps, being exposed to snow and rain, etc... I'm getting old!! Lol! So I've searched and researched and figured out what I want! I want a camper/trailer that can handle almost any terrain, extreme weather conditions, heavy duty and...
