Wheelbase?
#21
You can't have it all.
Plain and simple. you're gonn have to sacrifice somewjere. And seeing that you have a 1-ton and a trailer, I'd sacrifice the on-road manners. I'm not saying remove the body and wear a poncho/parka, but don't concentrate on the street handling so much. go more for low-height, flexy suspension, and hydro steering. If you still want to register/insure it, your call.
IMO, the ideal trail wheelbase is about 105-115. for all the same reasons already posted. turning/high-centering/hill climbs/smooth ride...
I love to drool over buggies, but I think you have the parts/skills/time to build a full-bodied rig. Even if its a blazer with a half-top.
EDIT: Personally, I couldn't sleep if I cut up/modded a CUCV. They're just so close to perfect with stock drivetrain/suspension. trim, add 36s on beadlocks, and drive!
