I bought it on my birthday to tow our Airstream. That's about it.
Once lifted 03 Trailblazer on 35's, gave it up to travel the USA with my family.

Got to test the new rack with bikes attached. Went for a 14 mile ride. They didn't fall off during the road trip there, so I guess it's a success.

Few shots from this past Sunday in LBL, KY. Lake is down in prep for Winter pool so we were able to drive out on the beach from one of the trails. There is no beach here during the summer and was at the tree line last time we were down there.

Sadly, my 4WD actuator is apparently dying and wouldn't lock the axle in, so I buried it in the sand while trying to leave. :facepalm:

One last shot. Normally the beach across the bay is packed full of boats. Granted this was a Sunday afternoon, there is normally more than a few boats out after 5. You can tell when Labor day hits, the boating community vanishes.
