new guy from Raleigh

Hi. I am Jeremy. I am getting a 2004 white trailblazer from work, Wagners Auto Salvage in Durham. It is a WTVD news truck that had a little front end damage and they WILL not fix them! This car has a clear title. The truck is a base model manual seats 83k but is 4wd. I plan on adding leather seats and running boards(from stuff we have at work). I also plan on liftmeister springs spacers and wheel spacers, cause there are def alot more 6x5.5 wheel around here.

I got the truck to tow my autox car and the family around. I coach softball, my daughter and son are very active in sports, volleyball, football, softball, taekwondo!

Thanks to everyone that has contributed to the knowledge of this site!!!

Axe the running boards and you will be all right. Welcome from Sanford

[tzdevill]

Ya I know but right now, my thinking is run them for asthetics and then when they get bent up show the wife the rock sliders!!! FTW

[navigator]

is Wagners a pick-n-pull or do you guys pull all the parts?

Welcome Jeremy!

Sounds like you may have gotten a great deal on the TB with well documented service.

Careful with the running boards though they limit you and the truck in more ways then just off road around here.

Need pics of the truck along with ones of this autox car of yours!

Also nice to see your kids are busy, mine too. We all go to Gwoon of Kajukenbo five days a week for the last four years.

Can't wait to see what you do first.

Welcome!

Wagners is a "we" pull it yard.

Thanks everyone for the welcomes. First that I have planned is shocks/struts and lift kit. then the transmission cooler, like I said I will be towing my autox to and from events.

as requested pictures of my autox car. His name is "frank" short for frankenstein as named by my father in law. He has used parts from 22 different cars in him. He is a 90 miata with a 03 engine run by megasquirt. runs 15x10 wheel with hoosier a6 275-35-15 tires and bilsteins coilovers(that is just the big parts!!!!)

oh ya and planning on a trip to Uhwarrie with the wife before long

You might want Z71 springs in the rear or some airlift for the stock coils if you are going to be towing.

[tzdevill]

was definately looking at the air lift. z71's, if i can find some at work, but the "bouncyness" everyone talks about scares me. so........

if you can get them from work they won't cost much to try.
I love mine.
I have been down some dirt roads pretty fast and they don't seem too harsh to me.
It makes a big difference when hauling my boat too, the back doesn't squat nearly as bad as it did.
when I had the 3/4 spacer I used to use a tri-ball which has no drop, now I use a 2inch drop hitch and my skeg still drags a little coming out of my drive because the nose is up so much higher.

I can't decide if I want to just go to a 4 inch drop hitch or just get an adjustable one.
