:D :D :D
Picked it up on saturday. Its a 94 Chevy Fullsize Blazer with a TBI 350 and 700R4, 4x4, power everything, Leather, Tow Package, etc. I'm gonna be travelin in style now, no more wearin a raincoat and parka in the rain, and no more sweatin my a$$ off in the desert. I'm sooooo happy now. And i'm pickin up the trailer from my buddy this weekend at the hammers. Looks like my moab trip is gonna work out exactly as planned. :D :D :D I know its not the ideal tow rig, but its a great combo DD. anyone know what tcase and axles are in this thing?

NP241, IFS 8.25" front, 8.5" SF C-clip 10-bolt rear. Tow in 3rd, regardless of speed. OD is strictly for running empty at 70+. Trust me on this one if you want the TH700 to live.

OOOOH, so that's the pretty new tow rig you were talking about. NICE!!!

How the hell did you manage that one?

If you're picking up Chris' flatbed then you should be able to tow my junk too no problem ;) for this weekend.

Yep no more sleepin under Stinky for me:), i got a full on bed now. As for buyin it, I'm sellin my pavement pounder, and I got a screamin deal on the tow rig. If i sell the Jetta for what i'm expecting i'll only have spent about $300 plus registration on the blazer. As for haulin your ass home, We'll see, gotta get the brake controller and trailer brakes hooked up first.
