DAAAAMMMMNNNNN Rory! I know the feeling exactly, man. I've been stuck in the mud and the snow, but never at the same time...
Times like that is why i pack my offroad bugout bag. I wish i had a better pack the day that Bill had found me wandering through the desert. All i had was half a can of Monster, some PicNics and a lighter. Oh a few chem-sticks too. No gun, no water, no real food. Glad a had a jacket and my knife at least. Never know when a pack of coyotes or a mountain lion will appear. I walked about 13 miles that night, though the loose sand. Wore all the tread off my boots

Haha, I got the eBay lead from Cody and was really thinking of buy it, so I had already checked everything out. However after looking at the gear charts my current plans I need at min of 3.73 gears and there is one up near me. So I chatting with Matt this came up. Glad to help a fellow ORTB member.Moots1288 wrote: Oh thank you.

Well, slap those 4.56 gears in there lazy.
Don't waste good advice, get 4.10's for what you are doing, call it a day.

I was a 5 minute walk from my friend Joe's house, we had BBQ pork and Deer meat for lunch, and hot chocolate!

Just got a hit on a 3.73 out of an 2003 ENVOY XL in Auburndale, Florida only 30 miles from here. Need to get the Trailblazer back on the road this weekend ASAP. Axle won't fit in the trunk of the GXP, lol.

The problem with the Trailblazer is, people think you know what you're doing.

Just finished my wire upgrade and installing the new alternator. Last thing I need to do is run my alternator ground to the front of the engine block.
Old vs the new one (so shiney)
New alternator installed
New battery installed and wired up.

My downhill side was over knee deep ice/water/mud, I would have left it there for the night and went to Raleigh and bought a winch before I wade into that cold mess, I've been over my waist in some of the stickiest mud around when I got a ATV stuck, but it was summer and warm, I had to crawl out.
