REVCON Trailblazer

Last Call: You’ve never seen a Trailblazer like this

This is a REVCON Trailblazer and it’s amazing. What would be your ideal trip in this monster? On or off road?

I cleaned off the label on the air compressor. And was happy to find out that it’s an ARB compressor. So I’m pretty sure there’s probably no way that the air Lockers in the axles are none other than a ARB. The 6th picture shows one of the control panels for the Sparton spotlights that are on top. They are pretty cool there’s a switch for off and then setting for flood and spot. And then a joystick switch for up down left and right to control the lights. It appears someone tried probably stealing them at one point. Because the main bolt for both lights were off I noticed that when I was in Texas. But it isn’t too easy after you take it off its post to do anything else. It has strong wiring and a strong base. I’m hoping I can restore these. Not sure if this was done by revcon or not but there’s an inline fuel filter and some stainless an fuel lines for just a small length under the frame. More than likely added by someone. Then again revcon did put superchargers on these lol. Also installed an oil filter I’ve had laying around for many years since there was not one on this engine. #Ford #F350 #Revcon #Motorcoach #Trailblazer #RV #badass #6×6 #4×6 #lockers #PSD #f3 #7point3 #rare #unicorn #custom #OBS #classic #obsford #home #original #PNW #crewcab #tracks #lightbar #overland #EarthRoamer

    My ideal trip for this abortion would not involve me being in it, I would strap a rocket motor to it and launch it from an aircraft carrier into the atlantic.. or the pacific, but I feel the US has done enough testing in that ocean already.

      It is kind of a hot mess. As huge as a Winnebago, but without all the room forward of the camper door. As awkward as an ambulance to move around in, but with the maneuverability of a school bus.

      Is this an armor plated RV? If not, why is there a second rear axle? 24 foot U-Haul trucks don’t even need a second axle. And do I understand they’re both driven axles with locking diffs? Why not just put Mattrax on there? (Well, it says 4X4 on it, not 4X6, so maybe the Instagrammer mis-stated it.)

      My first off-road adventure would be off the road, into the barn and disassembled to make two smaller RVs out of it.

        U-haul trucks would be duallies though, so probably just tire load rating. Otherwise I feel the same, just not the right answer for any situation and not a great compromise either.

        The instagrammer was right some of them say 4×4 on them some of them say 4×6 on them. Sometimes when you see another axle on something like this it’s not solely just for its own weight this thing also has Towing capabilities as well the rear axle is not power driven it is a Dexter tag axle with air ride suspension

    #OnThisDay in 1961, AHF inductee, Enzo Ferrari introduced the mid-engine Ferrari Dino 156 Formula 1 car and the mid-engine Ferrari Dino 246 SP sports car to the world. Both named after Ferrari’s late son Alfredo Ferrari, whose nickname was Dino and was credited for the V6 engines that the vehicles used. Alfredo passed away before seeing the engines completed and used in 1956, at the age of 24. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e3954aa84b799d0f1c37ad0d38f9ae71acf798d9c2d365628c2851e915434d53.jpg
