Hey everybody...I am brand new to the TB world. I JUST got home with a new 05. I believe I got a good deal...its a 2005 LS 4 wheel drive and I got it for 19,000 bucks from the dealer. But anyways...i hope i find some good info on this site.
I currently live in Kansas (fort riley)..I am in the army and am a M1A1 Tank Gunner...but in a few weeks we will be moving to california because I am going to be an army recruiter.
Well thats about it...look forward to learning some stuff from everybody here. thanks.

Thanks for all the welcomes guys. I cant wait to start modding my TB. I also have a 99 S10 that is slammed, and running low 13's in the 1/4 (100 shot of N2O). Because I already have a lowered vehicle I think I am going to try and do the opposite with my TB and go for the off roading look. I am thinking maybe a small lift, bigger tires/rims, brush guard....or some stuff along those lines. Anybody got any tips or hints. As I said I am not new to the truck scene but I am definatley new to the SUV and off road scene. Any help is appreciated.

Well, my thought would be to look through eBay's trailblazer parts:
http://motors.search.ebay.com/trailblazer_Car-Truck-Parts_W0QQcatrefZC12QQfromZR8QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsac atZ6030QQsamcmZ6028QQsaspiZ2
That's the best catalog of stuff for your truck that you can get. I'd start there and see what you like :cool:

I might feel that way more if I lived near Detroit.... I-696 during rush hour = traffic flow at 90 in the slow lane :eek:
