Hey Casey, I gotta thank you. You mentioned Consolidated Towing in a previous video, said they were a good crew with a lot of trucks. Using that as a recommendation, they got me off the highway after my wheel bearing disintegrated. They did a great job, so thank you for being a good guy and not bashing a competitor.

I have to admit, as a multiple Jeep owner and enthusiast, I am sad to see the Jeeps go. However, that Monster of a rig you replaced it with? DANG!! Even I can't deny that is a beast! That thing was overbuilt in so many ways, you would be crazy to not have made that purchase. Sad to see the Jeeps go, but if you have to replace it with something, That is maybe the ONE single vehicle I can't argue with. Good work! What a find! (p.s. you TOTALLY have to do the jeep grille)

@@Mr76Pontiac I agree, especially on the Mazda comment⚡😂

Ben is the kind of guy you can walk up to and start talking to him, and 10 minutes into the conversation you feel like he has been your best friend for over 30 years. I wish more people in this world were like him.

In my world Ben is absolutely without a doubt, famous.

I was unimpressed with the blazer at first glance, but after you went over it.. that cage setup is nuts. Gotta be a lot of money into that thing.

Please... A moment of silence for Track Jeep. He performed above and beyond the call duty. Fare well, old friend.

You and Ben never cease to amaze me: just watching all this car stuff and all of a sudden, almost hidden, Ben uses the geomagnetic reversal in his wording, as if it were a household concept. Oh and no snow on your side of the world, because we in western Europe are drowning in insane quantities of rain.

As the owner of an 05 LJ (my dream rig also) you're not wrong about needing more space for the family. With just me I run out of space and I'm used to a CJ7. A sweet rig is a sweet rig and ya got a nice one with that blazer for sure. Ya need a bought not built sticker as well as a Jeep grill to anger the internet.

Change is good and obviously getting rid of the Jeeps was tough, what you replaced them with is amazing. And to your credit Casey, you think about your family and how you can have fun together. Great stuff.

Good morning Casey I like the new blazer it definitely is better for you when it comes to family and for recoveries. I do agree with Ben a big part of why he is known is because he is friends with you. A perfect example of being famous for who you are friends with. I will say Ben is a good guy and I have been a subscriber of his for a while

Ben and Casey talking vehicle parts is very interesting, and I'm a gal. I enjoy this. I remember my brother didn't know how to check the oil and where to fill it. At 16, I was showing him vehicle stuff. Love Ben's Cadillac. Jeeps & Blazers don't matter to me.

Next addition - seat covers for the front seats to keep it clean

Front and rear seat covers, so muddy kid and dog won't mess it up.

When you showed us the rear seat of the TJ, the thought came to mind that Riley is growing, and eventually the small rear seat wouldn't be room enough for her. You've taken care of that, the space for Rusty, and space for gear all in one very well laid out vehicle. Yes, Jeeps are a thing, but as you so clearly showed, being able to have the family with you and enjoy being out and about is even more of a thing. Super nice looking setup, Casey, so I can't wait to see some videos of you out with the girls enjoying family time with friends. One question - are you going to put a receiver in the rear bumper, or with the super strong points that it was built with, is this even a concern?

At first I was like "selling it? Noooo" but when you showed what you have plans for this new one I totally understand and agree

Family rigs are awesome. It's a lot more fun when the family joins in

I cannot explain how excited i am to see that you got this rig. Been looking at this for the past couple weeks and its awesome that you picked it up.

At the beginning, I was thinking "Casey lost it and went insane." At the end it's, " Man Casey, what a brilliant move!" That Blazer is sweet!!

Awesome video! Like the Blazer, more family friendly! Nice seeing Ben! Have a safe New Year! 🙏 😊

Awesome Blazer! The extent the builder went to tie in the exo-cage and interior cage and into the frame is excellent. Great find Casey, I am jealous.

Nice rig! Much more family oriented, and cool😊

At first I was worried we wouldn’t get any more winter recoveries. But this new rig seems to be a step up! 👍👍👍 And looking forward to seeing this with tracks on! 🤩

Good to know Ben is up here reading the comments...it's good to see Ben in another video Casey! The new Blazer is very impressive build...hats off the builders, and a smart purchase on your part for sure. Casey, you maybe have went to the Dark Side...because you almost never leave us hanging like that...?

"I never ever once used that high lift jack." Of course you didn't, because you HAD it! If it hadn't been there, you would have needed it. That's how these things work! :)

Nothing like strobe lights to kill a vibe. Very cool rig!

Gonna miss the tracked Jeep a lot, but excited for whats to come :D

I love the new Blazer ! It's gonna be even more awesome with tracks

The track jeep is what got me interested in your channel in the beginning. I probably wouldn't be on here committing right now if not for the track jeep. It's what made you stand out from the thousands of other towing channels on here, for me anyway. It's an icon.

So Wise , thank you . Sad to see the Jeeps go , but if you are happier and things work better good idea. Thank you for the history lesson.

Hey! I remember reading all the magazine installments about this Blazer and was excited to see each new one when this was a new build. Still back and forth about putting together a similar thing for myself.

I like how quickly you and Ben both agree to do something strictly by how much it might upset your viewers! Definitely proper motivation, I love it! I also greatly appreciate how much spending time with your family affects your decision making. You set a great example!

I have never and will never own any of the vehicles discussed in this video, but it is so nice to hear someone talking about them who loves them and knows how to use them. Here in Switzerland a 4WD is 'nice to have', but I would only actually need it 5-10 days a year.

Congratulations on the new rig Casey. I think that it was a great purchase, and, should serve you well.

Thanks for the tow truck history lesson! I drive through CleElem on a regular basis.

Very nice of you to wear trail mater murch ❤. Your and Rory’s channels are the most informative about off road recoveries.

I have liked this dude (Casey) for ages ,,back when he would just go pull people out an say , BYE,, Then there was a big situation ,,somebody aksed ,,"Why don't you ask Heavy D for help" ,,,Casey says ,,"Why would i ask a used car salesman for help here" ,,so funny,,and on the point,,,those diesel bros get stuck just for drama , and they just spoilt rich boys,,, Really ,, Casey is fun ,,and there is no bs getting stuck drama,,blah blah ,,

Very cool! Verne builds excellent stuff, I remember that build!! Should be an excellent tracked platform for you! Stoked for you brother!!

So jealous! I saw that blazer on the interwebs when it was for sale. Can't wait to see the adventures you have with it!

That roll cage is a work of art! I'm glad you're getting tracks for it, not because I want to tell you how to do your job, but for the totally selfish reason that I like to watch those videos 😊

Had a few Blazers including a '68 with 38's and two S10s. You'll have a good time with this and I'm looking forward to its future!

I remember when this truck was built. I used the magazine articles as reference when I built my S10. Glad you ended up with this truck.

Think that's quite the upgrade! Always was surprised you had the tracks on a jeep with a front 35. And you are totally right on cost to build vs buy something built.

Great move, Casey, I couldn't agree more with the changes you made! Great channel, keep doing you!

I look forward to seeing the tracks on it.

The Blazer is rad, I’m stoked to see it more on the channel.

I think Ben is more infamous than famous. I am sad that the jeeps are going but i totally understand why and have seen the problem as well and the replacement is a GREAT option for you and the family.

This no snow is pissing me off. Winter is supposed to be my busiest time with the snow, plus we are getting pretty desperate for some snow videos from you. Can’t wait to see the new equipment in the snow!

I am going to miss the track jeep and the TJ6 .. but interested in seeing what happens with the Track-Blazer. Thanks for the video

That is a well put together build. I'm not a blazer fan but I could like that one. Thanks for the video.

I just checked out the videos from the 2017 Ultimate Adventure. That Chevy IS A BEAST! I’m looking forward to the coming adventures (if it ever snows).✌️

Hi Ben! Throwback to the RC rock crawler days!

YAY!!!! Mornin' Casey!

Tell Ben the sign looks amazing, well done.

those tailgate lift shocks have a halflife of about 5 years, just plan on replacing them when they start to sag, they aren't that expensive.

I'm really sad about you selling the track jeep and the TJ but to everything there is a season. This new rig is the beginning of a new season for you. As much as I'll miss the other rigs I'm excited to see what adventures find you in the new rig. Praying for safe, exciting adventures in your new "toy". GOD bless

YOU GOTTA LOVE BEN, HIS COMMENTS AND INTERRUPTIONS AS YOU ARE EXPLAINING THE BLAZER IS PRICELESS...!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍.... Happy new year to all....!!!!

I had a 1999 Blazer ZR2. It was great. The only problem was that it ate wheel bearings. I love your new rig.

A nice heavy duty pullout tray would be kinda cool for the rear storage.

Congrats on the change..

I’m so glad you got something that wasn’t a Jeep or Toyota.

I had that same rig, the same color except for that cool stuff back in the day. I loved it! Unfortunately, it caught fire between Phoenix and the mountains where I live. Great Video!!!

So I built that TJ-6 over a number of years before selling it to Casey. I would love to know WHO bought it so if it ever comes up for sale again I might be able to get it back. I loved seeing it on this channel and it pains me to see it go.

what a huge fleet change Casey!! Congrats on the Chevy. Being able to buy a build like this is rad. Can't wait to see this beast on tracks!! Where is all the snow? I am so ready for it and none to be had. The whole Zacklift back story was super interesting and what a small world.

Those are some sweet flames on that truck. I was disappointed when I read the title but once you explained it, I can understand. For a full pardon though, I think you definitely need a Jeep grill.

That is quite an upgrade. It's going to be quite a spectacle once the tracks are in place.

Man, that International sign looks amazing!

I owned a Jeep Commanche 4wd back in 1992, 6 cylinder stick It never gave me any problems I was living in Truckee Ca at the time so it got a workout .

Double caged! NO WAI! Awesome rig, Casey.

You are going to have a lot of fun with that new truck Casey. I can’t wait to see it get to work. Very cool historical information for the origins of the under reach lift. That Zacklift real does seem to be the superior product compared to other DTUs that are on the market. Keep it up man.

Cool Casey and the Blazer the same year as my truck Chevy S10 ex-cab 4 wheel drive ZR2 wide track.

That car sounds nice and close to a dream car !

Nice blazer. Nicely built.

Dang, I never thought I would miss my old Blazer but imagining the possibilities from seeing this build up close did the trick.

Ben pushed two buttons when he turned those strobes on! 😆

It’s a small world after all! Nice upgrade with the Chevrolet Blazer, I’m a total Chevrolet guy and will admit those jeeps are pretty darn good for what you use them for.

the one good thing about your new rig, hell of alot more comfortable

i love the sign also😉 . the ih fits with my tractor

So sad to see the jeeps go. Watching the trax jeep in the snow was awesome. Made me wish I had one and the snow to go with it. I do understand about the space issue. It is why I have yet to own a Wrangler. The Liberty may be 21 years old but has the space I need. The double cage is also a plus, safety for your passengers is a must. Cant wait to see your off road adventures.....when the snow comrs!

I followed Verns build through the magazine. Great work on this project. Jeep grille great addition. Im going to sell my 78 fj40 for a family friendly offroader. The blazer is great

Sad to see the jeeps go, but I definitely get the space issue. The blazer is really cool though, should be a blast with tracks.

Great purchase Casey. The Track Jeep was kool and set you apart from others, but it doesn’t Define you. Since starting your channel, you’ve grown in the different equipment you’ve own. It’s adapting to the time at hand. Still love your channel and will continue to watch your channel. You may eventually get rid of the Blazer, but you’re still you, Casey Ladelle. 🤙😎

Loved the track jeep going to love the blazer ! I actually own a 94 chevy s10 blazer Tahoe .

a pair of channel locks on the back lift gate is the quickest and easiest fix

Like the Blazer two tone paint job

Good upgrade, getting THAT Blazer😎 Watching you and Ben interact makes me miss working together, with good humans. I see Ben 'Went into the LIGHT😶' 😂😂😂 . . Love seeing the positive progress for you Casey, Ben and all those alligned in good for the hood😎☕

Casey, like u had stated, mount a Jeep Badge on front of the 01 Blazer. Happy Adventure with ur Blazer. happy new years..

I absolutely love Blazers. My '99 isn't decked out by any means, but she is still super capable in bad weather and pretty good offroad even on stock height/wheels. On my bucket list is to take the frame and body of one of these and build the rest from the ground-up to make a rig, and I think seeing that beast in the magazine was one of the reasons I got that in my head to do so. Glad to see her in good hands!

Casey, vise grips work great to keep the lift gate open. Had to do that with a '97 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
