Hello TBlazerites & Envoyins... yup, I actually joined because I knew what 'tb' stands for. Brownie points out the gate! BTW, I love this: :flex dirty:

My daddy named me Justin and together we got into Jeeps & S-Series rigs. I live in Salt Lake and am now in an evolutionary search of an '02-'06 TB LTZ, preferably black on black leather. I'm struggling to do this patiently. I have plenty of questions regarding what to be on the lookout for in regard to typical wear items & trouble spots. I will also be lifting asap & have some concerns... Thanx in advance for all your help!

P.S. - my BIG project: Boxy '93 S-Blazer 5.3 alum LS, D44 f&r

WELCOME!! I like your CAD skills, I like the way you read up first, I like the idea of a less-than-total-exo on that model. Hmmmm, you're going to find a very like-minded community here, I predict.

Thanks, All! Steve, that TB can't see any streets in Utah can it? No flares, no flaps, altered suspension type - u covered the bases to make that trail only round here! I'd love to see that thing in action - if u ever go to Little Moab, lemme know!

I think Steve is street legal, he has flaps and drove like 1500 hwy miles for his Ultimate Adventure.

I just looked up Forest Lake real quick & I could be down for that! I need to sell my Jeep but wanted to take it out one more time... 37"s, 4.56's, ARB's, hybridish axles, cage, stock overwise. I'd have to trailer it to the trailhead tho - expired tags, no flaps... Lemme know!
