They call the Chevrolet Trailblazer SS the Corvette of SUVs for the LS3 small-block V8 that powered it, but this modified version is far beyond what Detroit imagined. With visual references to sport-import tuning machines, a two-wheel-drive conversion and 1,000 turbocharged, tyre-smoking horsepower, Rob has his hands full with this build. CAUTION: includes gratuitous burnouts.

"This is a story about one of the craziest burnouts I've ever seen in my life..." Stick around for the end of this one and tell us what Rob should cover next 👇

@InsertNameHere0369 5 месяцев назад

Y’all have done a great job lining up the cars, trucks, SUV etc thus far. Maybe do a update on Rob’s 4 rotor, maybe 4wd burnout if it runs 😉

@willsteele9249 3 месяца назад

That wasn't a burnout, that was a smoke-out!! the Trailblazer is (IMO) one of the most underrated vehicles you can still buy whether, it be the Amer-barra 4200 or any of the LS's motors you really can't lose.

Tried to build my own version of one of these a few years back. Had an 06 trailblazer with a ss body kit wheels steering wheel. It had a standard straight six with exhaust sounded pretty cool for a v6. Eventually threw a rod and I bought a 5.3 vortec to put in it. Went to jail for a few months and got it stolen from someone I knew. Cops never did anything but not call me when they found it. Lost my ss build but I love these suv's. The ultimate grocery getter.

@berniehoward9723 27 дней назад

What did you do for the suspension? I can see the rear KW shocks, and I assume they are the double adjustable. Did you replace the rear bags with the coil springs? I have a 2006 TBSS with the coil springs and double adjustable KW rear shocks and KW coilovers in the front. I have AirLift helper bags inside the rear coils with a Wireless One air compressor for towing my 1700 lb (loaded) motorcycle trailer. Problem is, it rides like crap! Rides better towing the trailer than without it. I can adjust compression and rebound separately on both front and rear, but I can't seem to get it dialed in. Yours seems to ride great! Any suggestions?

@JovanValentin711 2 месяца назад

Amazing 👏 as soon as I saw the highlight on Google News I jumped right in to see the rest of the video. I would soooo love a TRAILBLAZER SS I own an 03 TRAILBLAZER EXT 5.3 currently 191877 miles and still pushing through hard. Besides a few minor things the only major thing is a dam lifter that has been annoying me for a few years already. Love TRAILBLAZER and hate what Chevy did with the new one 🤦🏻‍♂️😩🤬 Great looking TRAILBLAZER SS man. Wish I could get my hands on one. So hard to find.
