Thanks, I like them but just realized the little plastic nut for adjusting side to side disappeared. So now it moves freely and is pointing down a but. Gives me an excuse to work on the cut off while I am fixing the other issue. I know I dont offroad like most of you guys but it gets me where I need to go. I need to document my next trip to the old quarry we are doing work at.

Got about a foot of snow on Turkey day up in Michigan. The Duratracs truly are amazing! The TB kept grip much more than what I expected which was nice.

Snow last night, I got through yesterday afternoon. I-84 is shutdown at the moment, multiple crashes. Sounds like it's cold enough the deicer isn't working anymore. Not to bad here in the valley though :safari:

The problem with the Trailblazer is, people think you know what you're doing.

And one more from the 10 minutes I had the fascia off after I painted to bumper white. My buddy said he didn't like it like this though.

I don't think I ever told this story. The story begins when I met my future wife, who had moved to Va Beach to attend grad school. I wasn't a Trailblazer owner, but she was. Her first Trailblazer was a 2002 LS with 4wd. And I had a 1992 Oldsmobile Bravada with lift shackles.

Image

The two of us quickly bonded over offroading together!

Image

Image

Also, my future wife had a fondness for guns:

Image

Then the week before our wedding her first Trailblazer was totaled due to flooding. About 9 months after our wedding the Bravada crapped out and we decided to purchase another Trailblazer, this time together.

And the rest is history... :cheers:
