Whats up everyone!! I have had a couple of lifted trucks in the past, but have recently inherited my wifes bone stock 2008 TB. I had been planning on getting rid of it and finding a nice K5 blazer as a daily/trail rig, but after coming across the site I think I will keep her. I am planning a BDS lift and running 32s, exhaust and cold air intake upgrade, and a nicer roof rack. Then see what happens after that. I look forward to learning more about the TB and getting to know the site. :flex dirty:

Welcome Andy, glad you decided to keep it. With keeping your TB, you know the maintenance history etc.
BTW, make sure your xfercase fluid gets changed every 50k!

It reminds me of an ad on CL not long ago of a guy selling his TB to buy a Jeep.
I sent him an email with a brief description of what could be done and links to this site.
His email back to me let me know he was reconsidering selling his TB.
"Please consider a search before posting. Folks on this site PIONEERED functional offroad use of these trucks."
