Well it took a while, but I made it through this entire thread. Definitely some great picks of some nice rides here. I got a lot of inspiration here.

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

Took a couple shots when I was out today checking out a tip I got from a buddy. This place was pretty cool. I wish I already had a lift installed because I could have had a lot more fun here. As it was I spent an hour or so just checking the place out and getting a feel for things. It was a cool little area.

It doesn't look like it, but this was quite a ways down and pretty sandy

I will definitely be going back once I get my lift put on.

On a whim, the wife and I bought a tandem kayak. So last night I had to make a rack for it.

The sawed off baja rack comes in handy once again.

I got some ideas floating around. Just wanted it back to a blank slate. I do like vinyl as it is removable and can make a big statement.
