I have a Blazer and a Deuce. Of course the Blazer started
life in the Forestry Dept, not military, but I built it for
extreme and painted it 4 color desert camo. (good for my
area) It has a small block 400 engine, built 4 speed
overdrive automatic, one ton transfer case, axles(with
better gearing and lockers) and cut down drive lines. It
has a 10,000 lb winch a huge bumper and brush gaurd and I
incorporated all the military b/o marker and drive lights.
Alot of work, but it goes just about anywhere I point it.
