I figured I'll just do one thread to throw pictures of my vehicle in. This isn't going to be a crazy high horsepower truck like some of the really nice builds. This is just my nice daily driven toy.

Day I got it.

Traded in my 2004 Trailblazer LT 4X4 on this 2008 AWD TBSS

Also got some red SS overlays

Also got a set of JD_SS headlights

I guess thats not terrible. i always grab ls1 efans for like 30$-75$ from junkyards or parts recyclers, never even thought to buy them new thats why i asked. A black bear or nelson harness runs about 100-120, so $130-$190 is the total of what we usually end up paying for that on our swaps.

yeah plus it comes with a shroud to fit the fans. So saves some times and labor.

Good start. Congrats on the SS. For a DD pick up a trans cooler as an early upgrade as well.

Looks like you're off to a good start.

You're right in my neck of the woods.

Truck looks great man. I am collecting the same parts for my TBSS, just waiting for a heating break in this crazy cold weather I live in.

How hard and how long did it take you to do the usspeedo swap?
