Hey so I'm not really new i have owned 2 trailblazers in the past, traded the first one in for the second on, and then had my second one. I will post pics as soon as I get them. now I am on sort of what I wanted the hole time minus 4wd, but plans for the future are SAS. right now just a little lift and tires to get me where I want to get till the wife gets her mini van lol. but just figured that I would post back up saying that I am still here alive, and well trying to build back what I lost bigger and better.

Well getting parts would not be that bad right now, I might be ale to get some lift just aint got the cash to get tires, or build it like i did on my last TB that I built. plus i got 2 year warranty on that thing that covers my drivetrain and engine lol. Plus I got to convince the wife of letting me lift it lol

Add yourself some Mike's wife proof slides. They will work to help the kids get in and are functional. ;)
