Build advise for my new trailblazer

[navigator]

Something else to think about, if parts are hard to come by and expensive to ship, you might load up on some spares before shipping your tb. Think about items that may be hard to get and throw some spares in the truck.
I'm thinking axles, front hubs, belts, hoses, brakes.... all the things that you will have to replace or need a spare for anyway. If it will take 2 weeks to get a tie rod end shipped, you want to have that on hand so you aren't stuck waiting for one in the mail.

Thanks for the tip, I think that is a real good idea. I think I will take spares and not change anything right now. My father in law, who I am getting the TB from, just told me it only has 45k miles on it and it has never been off road. I'm assuming tie rods, end links, bearings and hubs, etc should be good for a while. Am I correct in my thinking? Appreciate the advise!!

Yeah, with 45k on it, it should be fine.

Ordered all my parts today and wanted to thank everyone for all the good advise. I would have been lost without this forum...happy to be part of this community. I'll start a build thread next month when the install happens.
