I just got my tb a few weeks ago in an effort to lower my payments. Found my 04 with only 48k and mint condition. I REALLY REALLY wish it was a 4x4 but...... anyway I've had a few cherokee's in the past and one was a 2wd as well that i had made into a baja style pre-runner thing. So thats the plan for my trailblazer.
Plan on lifting it 3" strurts/shocks z71 springs etc. Grill gaurd, light bar and put a basket on the roofrack.
Looking forward to take this rig camping/fishing. See how she likes the beach.

Hello! In a group in the mountains, we had a LOT more trouble dragging a 4WD without a G80 through, compared to a relative noob with 2WD/G80. The 4WD would often get tilty on a lumpy trail, and with one rear and the opposite front wheel in the air, he wasn't going to move forward at all. He got a lot of strap assists and hazing.
