Here is about what you can expect from a Trailbazer (with the mods that most of the off-road guys have now):

You know... a TB won the SCORE baja 500 trophy division in 2000:

Ok it was a little modified - but the engine was an aluminum inline 6 based off the vortec that we have.

I know - still cool. The engine block, headlights and tail lights are really the only items that compare to our stock stuff.

I was checking out the fenders... That is exactly what we need. After that, lift is a non-issue. Might end up being a funtional 2-door, but for off-road work, dumping the back seat for storage is a good idea anyway. Love the sound of the I-6 wound up tight. Took ricer to a whole new level!
