Build Stage 1: Started

I am currently in stage one of the build. This stage includes all current modifications listed above and the TreadWright Wardens I have had my eye on for a while. I would like to get the tires on by Christmas, but you know how plans go.

My plan for the TrailBlazer is to have a vehicle that is capable of getting in and out of deer camp with inches of snow on the ground without any issues. I would also like to be able to get out and explore the beautiful Michigan outdoors on some trails that stock TrailBlazers just couldn't handle. Like many members I do DD my TB so it can be in pieces on Saturday, but it has to be able to commute on Monday morning.
