hello all, my name is Ben and i have a stock 03 trailblazer LT. i joind here because i have high hopes of making my blaze capable of handling these intense abandoned log roads out here. i would love to join the west coast chapter meet but since im stock, i dont think that would work out too well. any suggestions as to what my first step should be to make mine more off-road capable? thanks all

Welcome! What part of OR are you from?
Start by reading the build threads, they should give you plenty of ideas.

Hello from Vancouver also. Glad to see you enjoy the backwoods logging roads. As for your truck being stock, hang around here long enough and that will change. Oh, you wonder what it will cost? Sounds like a 'Roadie' quote to me. Just start reading the threads that interest you. This is a great group of people, enjoy and chime in!

Welcome from the other side of the US! Like everyone said, start reading through the forum. Think about what your main objective is, then start from there. Also, start a build thread and plan a trip!

He must be from the shy part. He hasn't posted since his intro.
