As for the updates...

I'm going to get one of the Clarion CD players from Slipping installed within the next month or so.

Other planned upgrades within the next few months:

Getting the grille wrapped in black vinyl
Vinyl Chevy sport style bow tie (3d decal insert in black with red outline)
Debadge the hatch

Following that:

RCX or BDS 2" lift with tahoe z71 rear springs
New front bumper cover with fog light cut outs and lower airdam trimmed off then cover painted to match.
Install HIDs in headlights
Hid converted factory fog lights
Westin safari light bar with Lightforce 140 Lance lights.

Decided to add all my lighting mods in front rather then on a roof rack to keep overall height lower and allowing for a lower profile roof rack to be built using a Rigid industries SR series light bar for added lighting at that point.

Had a bit of a "whoops" on monday morning which resulted in this...

As a result of this, I think I figured out how im going to add driving lights to the trailblazer...now that I have had the bumper cover off for a couple of days I could see how it could be done. I'm thinking of mounting a Rigid 10" light bar or a pair of rigid dually lights where the license plate mount is currently. Basically the bar would be bolted directly to the original metal bumper and a slot cut into the bumper cover for the light to go through as well as a pair of hid retrofitted OE fog lights in the stock locations mounted to custom mounts bolted to the metal bumper in the stock locations.

These lights would be used

Trailblazer got to sling some mud today lol


This shot was taken after i left the oil field leases where i was mudding and was behind home depot, figured it would be a cool shot...plus it shows the changes made during the repair stage a lil more clearly..
