I've owned my 2006 trailblazer since 2007. Its been a fun truck but I've always wanted to make it a bit more extreme. The first hope I had was seeing a trailblazer invited to the Ultimate Adventure this year. I was kinda disappointed at the lack of coverage of this vehicle. Then reading this months 4x4 and offroad mag there was a readers ride trailblazer. I think it is "dirty anton" as shown on the homepage here: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1562 His comments told about this site, so here I am. Looking forward to investigating build options. I've wanted to make something more capable for a long time. Started with a suburban and the oldest son wanted it, so it's gone. Then I tried a samuri which I loved but had to sell to pay for second son's college. Third son came home from a 2 year stint away and fell in love with my 1993 ranger. Now I don't own that one either. But I sill have the trailblazer and none of them seem interested in it ;). So we'll see what I can do with it.

Hee, Hee... you are both right. I messed up on dirty anton's name and it is Chevycrew who went on the adventure. He actually hangs in the area I work. I live a bit south of him, but my friends at work say they have seen his rig occasionally. BTW, I edited my original post for anton but didn't get to it before dirtybacon04 caught it.

Thx all,
