This isn't exactly a tech question, but I think it belongs here...
Well right now this is my only driver, but I'm keeping an eye out for cheap xj to tow out to mud spots.
Just looking for something simple, preferably a d44 but the chrysler 8.25 will do, then probably just do a 4-5" junkyard lift and throw on some 35s, then swap in an 8.8 if the axle takes a crap.
I'll be able to keep the new truck looking all pretty while the jeep does the dirty work

Anyways.... 2006 chevy trailblazer, 2wd, 4.2 Straight six. 3.42 gears at the time
4" suspension lift 3" body lift
34x12 nitto terra grapplers
Here's a build thread for more info

Yup, factory they come with the 4.2 I6 or the 5.3 V8
The 4.2 placed in Wards top ten engines 4 times during its short existence (02-09) only to be axed

Wow that honestly suprised me, I thought it had the 4.3L V6? My mother had an 03 and it felt like it had some ***** when the pedal went down. Makes me respect TrailBlazers alot more..

The s10 blazers came with the 4.3 v6. And yea before the 34s this thing was quick for an suv, and I have the lowest gears, 4.10s must be quick.
My engine (06+ 4.2 I6) come from the factory with 290 hp

Hmm... got a pic of the engine bay? (Sounds like a possible engine swap... maybe, I'd have to look into that engine more)
