kind of like cash for clunkers when they had to pour that corrosive chemical in perfectly good running engines and let them run till they locked up.

no chemicals but we do drain them and run them till they stop and have to take pics if it completely crushed. oh and just glanced at it again it is a custom bumper with pushbars and brush guards.

you would think there is a junk yard or ebay re-seller somewhere that could make some $$$ that could buy the car from Toyota and strip off the good parts and crush the rest.

yea we would do it here thats how we make our money, but for some reason they won't let us pull anything off these. we only get the crushed car weight!

I expect the parts would bring more than the crush weight.

Dang, now I want a motor home 
The problem with the Trailblazer is, people think you know what you're doing.

Got the wifes YJ finished, what do you all think? White was the orgional color, she painted it all by herself. It's not perfect but she didn't want perfect on something she was going to offroad. We did a ton of body work with all the rust it had!

Is this anyone on here? I saw it close to my area yesterday in Livonia but didn't have time to stop and leave them a message to come here. If I see it again I will stop.

This couple's rig: http://aussieoverlanders.com.au/expedition-vehicle/
I kind of like how they setup the inside. I think Dirty Anton is the only other guy I've seen here who setup his rig to sleep inside.
Slide out grille anyone
They've been driving thru all of Australia and then they'll be driving thru all of Africa, up thru Europe to London. You can follow them on instagram.

I'm sleeping most of the time in the Trailblazer when on tour and have to stay overnight. For one person it is good, for two persons it is tight.
I have a independent heater system from Eberspächer installed so the temperature is not a problem in cold nights.

I have slept in mine several times this year. Actually really like to. I simply take my cargo boxes/cooler out and slide them under the truck. Leaves me most of rear to lounge in.
Also slept in it a couple times last winter with it running for heat. Left drivers front window cracked and had no issues. I did buy a little plug in heater so I could avoid that in future.

2014 Silverado 1500 that my buddy brought out to the farm this past weekend. It is loaded and pretty amazing. Has sensors of some sort the vibrate the left side of seat when you cross center line and the right side when you cross that line. All those bells and whistles. He had it lifted...one of the first ones I believe. Still retains its warranty. Put some Pro Comp 35 12.50 20 on it. He just has it til they build him one with the longer bed or the new heavier models come out.
Pics of it at his dealership...
The new vehicles really are impressive. I would hate to have anything go wrong with one, but damn is it nice.

Rig looks really sharp. Still a little torn on the new front ends though. For the first time ever, I'm digging the GMC grille more.As told by the other half: Build Thread
