New Trailblazer owner and new member here from the FL Panhandle.
I'm not sure to what extent I'll modify it yet but it will, AT THE LEAST, get a leveling kit or 2-3 inch lift and ditching the 'Fordstones' for larger A/T's
I read the intro thread and wished i'd done it BEFORE :shock: I buried the nose in a creek (sand bottom)causing a tranny line leak, what a stupid place to have them enter the radiator! when i put it in 4-low and backed out it snatched the bumper cover off, I just gotta remember this isn't my steel bumper 95 T'ho until i can get it up a little. Glad it popped back on easily though my old lady woulda choked me :mrgreen:

Welcome! Glad to see to read the intro, even if it was a little late. Have fun lifting, most start off with only wanting a little, then the obsession sets in.

Fixed fixed username to BowTide.

Thanks for the welcome, several of those links saved me quite a bit of searching actually. Yeppers, mostly sand with a few clay pits out on Eglin reservation and Blackwater State forest.
