85_Ranger4x4, Yes Trailblazer did come with V8 in regular TB as well as in the SS. I have looked at both Durango and Explorer however I have the tools and electronics to work on GMs in my garage and don't particularly want to get Ford or Dodge specific tools. I have also really liked seeing...

Martinjmpr, I have had several friends with TBs over the years, they loved their trucks and drove them for at least a decade before trading them in for a unibody crossover, and I have never heard anyone having any problems with them. I am no stranger to unique, odd and unpopular vehicles as...

Two years ago I finished building my 2000 Suburban to be the most perfect daily driver/weekend warrior/family overlander. I love the truck, had an absolute blast building it and 150,000 miles later it's still my daily driver and weekend warrior. It's perfect and I am itching to build another...

Taking a break from working on the Sub and decided to play around in the back yard. Think this one is about 55ft tall. I was expecting it to snap at the tow strap but I accidentally pulled the whole thing out with the roots. Made enough firewood to roast marshmallows all weekend! Stay tuned...

BayMonty, V10 Excursions are great trucks, they are very thirsty. I used to drive a fleet of Ford trucks with V10s and 5.6mpg was average city I think I managed to get 8.2mpg on a couple Vegas to LA all highway trips. You can find a lifted V10 excursion relatively cheap and at a fraction of...

hbabler, Haha, you are describing the REAL reason why diesel Excursions keep holding their value, its like Subaru, their owners have been brainwashed that the vehicle is reliable as long as you keep fixing it and putting money in it that way you can expect a higher sale price. Guess that works...

BayMonty, Is your current 2013 Suburban a 1500 or 2500? We are a family of 5. I own a 2000 Suburban 1500 that is my daily driver and our dedicated off-road adventure vehicle. Body lift, detroit locker, 37s and a mild tune. I also have a 2011 Suburban 2500 that has a level/2" lift and 34" tires...

What did you end up going with? Can't go wrong with a Tahoe.

Humvee4us, Would a Focus or Prius climate control knob look better when the car is covered with a foot of snow? What exactly are you asking? Keep in mind that a John Deere tractor with an RTI of 100 will most likely be coming to get you out of any rocks or ruts your RTI 700 or 832 will be...

Lots of different perspectives here. I worked on an ambulance for a decade. Most ambulances have the fire extinguisher in a locked compartment accessed from outside behind the drivers door. It is next to the oxygen tank. Not sure if DOT dictates the exact placement of a fire extinguisher but...

Can you explain negative triggers a little more, I'm not finding too much specific or relative info on them? I already have a power distribution block under the hood that's connected to the battery. From there I run a wire to a circuit breaker and then a power wire into the cab power...

pskhaat, You are my hero, lol. 15" is a better route in my opinion if you plan on spending any considerable time off road. Smaller rim will give you more sidewall which in turn adjusted to correct air pressure will give you more axle travel resulting in a more comfortable and much faster ride...

Thank you guys. So in short if you do not properly wire the light bar to a battery and use a correct amperage switch which will keep the light bar on it's own independent circuit a relay is unnecessary. However if you tap into the high beams or another lower voltage switch then you will need a...

I can not seem to find this answer anywhere, but exactly what does the a relay do in a light bar wiring harness? I have been running a 36" light bar on my truck for 5 years with no problems. It is wired: battery + to inline fuse to light switch on dash to light bar positive cable, negatives...

Been there done that, and let me tell you that I have more room behind the second row in my Suburban than I did in the entire back of a Cherokee and thats with front seats pushed all the way forward. Some members mentioned Tahoe/Suburban. I would consider them, will get you everywhere you are...

I have been keeping mine in drivers seat back pocket for 20 years, never came out, always within reach and always visible if the charge is good.

OP, so what did you end up doing? staying with 15s, going to 17s or manning up all the way to 22s?

xjman88, What kind of rear axle/diff do you have in it? Do you know what kind of front differential and transfer case thats in your Trailblazer?

It's light bar time! The first modification I made to the Suburban a few weeks after I purchased it was a 36" light bar in the grill. It has served me extremely well, however when I went to the Avalanche front end, the new grill was way too pretty to get chopped up and keep the 36" light bar...

Looking good. Truck sits good and looks very proportional.
