Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Hello from Illinois

New members: please introduce yourself here.

by Schumacher330 » Sun Aug 03, 2014 10:22 pm

First off thanks for allowing me to join this page. I've lurked for a while since I bought my truck. I have a 2006 Isuzu Ascender with the 4.2. I really like the truck, and it really has converted me from the Jeep Cherokees I used to have.

My plans over time are build it for trail rides, camping and exploring. I have checked out some of the trucks in the build threads and there is considerable talent here!

Again thank you for letting me join. I hope I can contribute in any way possible.

Welcome. I work in Tinley Park. I buy some of my stuff from Winners Circle in Joliet. I'm also a fan of Straight Line Performance in New Lenox.

Few friends and I have discussed a trip up there next year to check it out. Some buddies of mine used to go back in college when we all still had quads, but couldn't ever swing the trip. I'll definitely hit you up if we head that way!
