Hey folks. I'm a NOOB. Migrated over from www.offroadtb.com. Saw some postings about this site from TheRoadie and a few other members there. Anyhow, wanted to introduce myself, and throw down some build pics, etc.

Interior Modifications: Painted Minor Interior parts to match exterior color; custom switch mount plate
Recovery Equipment:20K lb strap; High lift jack
Electrical Modifications: Pioneer 6 1/2" 2 way speakers in all 4 doors, 15" Dayton sub, 600 watt Rockford Fosgate Amp, 2 Pioneer 100W tweeters in A-pillars, CB
So, started with a bone stock 2004 Chevy Trailblazer LT, 4.2L 4x4.
First mods were 15% tint, Westin bull bar with Hella 550's, and roof rack light bar.
Then I removed the stock trim and badging. Added my own "custom" badging with letters I found on EBAY. I painted them gray originally, to match the trim and bowties. They came out good, but the paint started chipping almost immediately. So I scraped them back to chrome, and left them. You can see it in later pics.
Next step (even though it took me 2 weeks to get it all together) was my lift. SMAXX 2.5" front with Bilstein HD shocks, 2" rear with Tahoe Z71 rear springs and shocks, 1.5" wheel spacers and 255/75/17 BFG Mud Terrains...
No more running boards, added a cheap-o roof basket and removed the bull bar and added a Westin grill guard. Pics are from TECORE I in April 2009, my first real offroad venture with my TB.
My truck with JamesDowning's at the Sheets station after TECORE I
Painted wheels gray, added new sticker, VHT on tail lights, Flowmaster 70 series and 3" tip.
