Hey, I am new in the site and this place is great, I like it, well I am from New Jersey I this TB was belong to my wife for a long time then I decided to buy her a Tahoe and I capt the TB wich I love it and I started working on it about a month ago, so far I lifted 3" front and rear with Supreme Suspension and I bought a set of 1.5" wheel spacers from MarkMC, is looking better now but still not what I want.
I gonna get bigger tires by June and install my cb radio soon, with a pioneer stereo, I also planned to buy in the future a bull bar, fog light, tail lights guards, and a roof rack

hey all, I just stopped by to see what was happening round here since I've been gone. onelow1ton mentioned ya'll on 355 nation and kinda made me mis checking in here... I don't miss my trailblazer though, having a truck with a bed has a lot of benefits and my Canyon gets much better gas milage than the tb. I will be lifting the canyon soon, doing an aal and cranking up the torsion bars up front. I need to get some skid plates for it too, but no one makes them anymore and finding the old ones from super skids is almost impossible.

Hey all, just joined up after about 6 or so months of owning my parents 03 TB. Ive yet to go through the website fully and will most likely be doing that tomorrow while of course... working on my TB. Ive taken a pretty good photo record of all of the work that Ive done and I'm sure I will post it once I figure how everything works round here. Im glad to be part of the TB family. :excited:

I've been combing through this website (and Trailvoy) since last November when I got the truck. Nothing much to say, haven't done damn near anything due to lack of funds. As soon as I get money in.. rear end swap (might do this next week), lift, tires, plates, fab bumper, spare tire carrier, roof rack!

Here's a few pictures in and out of the mud. Resonator has been since deleted, get off my back :raspberry:

Just joined but I have been lurking for over a year. I love my tb and I'm just starting to have the money to do my build. Oh the joys of being a broke college kid

And, he could always go out and sell plasma... Up to $300 bucks a month... That's $3000 a year, conservatively...

Joined about a month ago. Lurking around researching possibilities, purchased 3" suspension lift and spacers from Mark so far. Trying to figure out if 33's will fit with what I have so far or if I should keep the tires and wheels I have for now and order a bumper kit from MDB or find a local fabricator.

Enjoying reading everyone's posts.

I completely forgot about this post. My heart sank when I saw my picture and thought someone else posted my truck :awesome:

Yeah, it was quite a sight. There were a few areas where the pickups couldn't through; only me and this Xterra could make it. I was stock back then too.

navigator wrote:welcome Josh, why are you swapping rears?

I have 3.42 non-G80. Near useless in the mud and rocks, especially when bigger tires will be put on. I located a 4.10 at a local junkyard for $150, but it was a 10 bolt non-G80 and I couldn't use 4x4 until I regeared my front. As a college student.. lol f no. So I ultimately passed up on it. Was tempted to buy and resell it, but I know nothing about the market atm.
