Lol, I briefly thought of doing that for a moment then shook my head and went on. Looks good. I might have to give it a whirl.

Indeed. Although she should be selling it pretty soon; as she just got a new....van....thing. Anyway, She told me she was going to list it as $5000 OBO I think she has her hopes a little too high. I'm pretty curious to see what it sells for. I'm thinking somewhere near $3500 realistically. Although it does only have 95k miles..........

It'll be going out for blasting and powdercoat at the end of the month!

Ok I think I'm in the right place to ask this question.
I can get a carrier for $18.75 at the junk yard, but my problem is, what if I want to haul something in the blazer that is too long, and I can't close the tailgate?
Then the tire gate won't swing shut and latch. I guess I would have to strap it so it doesn't swing out, and maybe remove the tire so it isn't so bulky?
Let me know what you guys think, because I'd love to do it with a practical solution.

you could always try to pull the bushings on the hinge but they are a pain.

Warthog, how long did it take you to do the entire install? I wanna do this myself but I can't afford to have the blaze down for more than a day at this point (not that i have a choice right this second but you get my drift lol)
