Trail-rado
Been off the site for quite a while, but I started a new project. It’s not a G machine by no means and I had no intention of making it real nice, but I ended up going farther than I anticipated. I’ve had a weird attraction to the trailblazer SS especially the lowered ones and I thought one might look cool as a pickup. So here goes.

I never planned on posting this project and I’m embarrassed that I have no pics of building the rear frame. Lowering the trailblazer causes geometry issues with both the front and rear suspension so in the rear I made new mounting points on the axle to keep the radius rods more happy. In the front I raised all the inner pivot points to eliminate the excessive control arm angles from the lowering.

This is cool. Trailblazers are great vehicles. The 4.2 is a hugely overlooked engine.
Best of luck with the build. I can't say I have ever seen a truck version.
