Amanda here,
Im in northern NJ, origionally from around Newark but I prefer the outskirts. Country roads kickin up dust, mud puddles, and rocky-ish trails.
So far I have a stock 2002 trail blazer.
- I just added a brush guard that i got used for $80, found it on Craigslist.

I have taken my TB up a rocky trail :) No trouble there, just had to make sure I didnt get my wheels in the trench made by rain.

I did get my TB stuck in some heavy duty swamp mud. lol. I will say I made it through the first time :)

So, I would like to lift my vehicle so I can have some more fun.
Suggestions on where to buy cheap, good quality tires, lights, suspension/body lift kits, winches.....would be helpfull.
Or, If you are in the northern NJ area and have accesories or stuff you/your vehicle has "grown out of" for an 2002 TB 4x4, send me a message.

happy to be a member and to get started,
Amanda

Went to pull a friend out of the mud. Had fun, got stuck and loved it.
