New TB Owner

New members: please introduce yourself here.

Hi everyone. I bought a stock 2005 trailblazer 4.2l 4wd to replace my stolen, daily-driver/project 4x4, 2 door '95 Tracker. The wife doesn't mind riding in the TB like she did in the tracker. The entire family, including the dog, fit and I still have room to pack more than a bathing suit. Best of all, when she wants me to drive, I don't have to drive the SMV (Soccer Mom Vehicle, AKA MiniVan).

I plan on modifying it for trails for the weekends and a daily driver the rest of the week.

Depending on traffic, you might be 2 hours south! I work in the Pioneer Square area of Seattle, I commute 80 miles a day!

True about the traffic! Lol. I am actually stationed with the Coast Guard on pier 36, smashed between the cargo loading docks just on the other side of that damn train.

Check out the build threads on the forums. They are full of great content and ideas. It's how I got started. By using others ideas, mistakes, and advice. It really helped alot. If you want I can bring my TB by so you can have a real visual instead of just pics.
