MikeKey's Build - 2003 Chevy Trailblazer LTZ

Vehicles posted here have shown that they are not only capable of traversing very rough terrain, but also capable of doing so for extended overland trips.

The End Of The Road

Well, the end is nigh. My family purchased a new Ram 1500 and a 278ft Airstream International to fulfill a lifelong dream of living on the road and traveling around the country full time in August of 2014. We started a blog you can check out: boldandadventurous.com or find us on Instagram or Facebook by searching for BoldAdventure

As such we began to downsize our life, selling everything to make the dream a reality. And the Trailblazer was one of the things that went. We debated often, and went back and forth between storing her, and selling her. In the end, we found a new owner who wanted to continue working on her and to take his daughter offroading. It was a sad day to see her go indeed.

Leaving us...

Arriving at the new owners shop..

It's our hope that this build thread will inspire others in their own adventures and future Trailblazer builds.
