Hello TB (ers??),
My name is Casey and I have an '07 Trailblazer LS. It is currently stock but should be having leather seats installed sometime in the next two weeks. I know, that is not very off road, but leather cleans easier so it kind of is if you really think about it. Plus itll be heated seats now and with the whether the U.S is getting lately that can be appreciated by all. On that note, I am not currently with my TB, I am in Afghanistan at the moment, so much of what I want to do/have done will be by proxy or by waiting. Now, the meat and potatoes, what I want to do.
A; I want to lift it
B: I want to put better rubber on it
C: I am actually considering having the 3.42 changed to 3.73 or possibly 4.10's ( this will be based off of peoples thoughts)
Essentially I want to turn my TB into an off road/ daily driver with a functionally aggressive / armored look..military-esque type of vehicle that will pull what I want, run over prius's and take me to awesome spots where whitetail try to hide from people. I will read , and READ , and READ some more, but I will likely be questioning everything along the way and looking for advice from the experts. I have read forums where people are ABSOLUTELY slammed for asking questions and I hope this wont be the case here, as I am 29 yrs old, and a bit of a salty ol' soldier, so I give massive amounts of respect and expect just a touch in exchange. From what I understand, this is the place for a guy like me. So i look forward to speaking with many of you and picking your brains. What I can provide : a bit of knowledge of off-road driving ( but not much in the way of technical knowledge, and by not much I mean , next to zero). I have some unique experiences with high intensity/ high speed driving courses and practical application of some of those courses and some cool stories of driving some VISCOUS off road vehicles ( in the way of HMMWV's). Thats about all I have. Cant wait to explore the site.
