Howdy, I'm another newbie. I live Indiana and this is my 1st 4wd ever. Previously I've owned a couple Mustang and a plethora of mini trucks. Winner isn't too kind on either of the previous ventures so I'm ready to grab old man winter by the sack instead of the other way around

I've recently purchased a 03 trailblazer lt. It's basically stock and stock is like my kryptonite. It's killing me. What I plan to accomplish with the trailblazer is a dependable year round ride. It would be nice to drive to my secret fishing spot instead of walking for 20mins. I mean that's like 2 maybe 3 bass I don't catch. Not cool, not cool at all.

I would like my trailblazer to be able to do some light off-road duties through the woods but nothing extreme.I was thinking a slight lift and like a 30 inch tire on the stock wheels. I'll probably get hooked like I always do but I'm just going to take baby steps.

Anywho, hey

Welcome from Warsaw, IN. Feel free to hit me up when you are ready to lift, I am always happy to work for pizza and beer.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

I just had a vision, Jacob invites Kyle and Matt over for a lift party, Jacob runs out for pizza and beer and when he gets home Matt and Kyle are finished!
