fine choice, they are so well built that the rear alum control arms snap when you Tow them with a wheel lift! This fine piece must be flatbedded.

I'm guessing they aren't the only SUVs that need to be flatbedded.
Nice choice btw. I would take one of those any day over a POS Explorer.

There isnt any reason a 2wd SUV should need to be flatbedded. Then again it gives the towing company the right to charge you more!

Correction, 4WD This has Rear/All/4Hi/4Lo.
I still have the Talon, it's parked right next to it.
I don't plan on having this towed.
But, it is nice having a reliable daily driver, I don't need to constantly check the oil in it, I'm never having to open the hood for some stupid reason.
Dislikes about it... stereo sucks compared to the Talon, and it is a gas hog. I miss the sound and feel of the Talon, but I love the power this has.

Sweet choice. My buddy's dad just bought one too and it's a comfortable ride. Have fun with it man.

8278, RE: The new ride (56k NO!!!) Posted by Star Turbo Talon, Apr-26-06 02:19 PM
this can be switched to 2wd which is my point, god you guys are so dense. It will be towed eventually, trailblazers dont have a very good track record....
Glad you are happy with it though, thats all that matters

I want to say that the pic before the engine bay is very good. Looks like on a dealer brochure. Good job on pictures and the car looks nice too.
Star Turbo Talon there is no perfect car every car has it's problem.
PS
I remember u said it has high mileage... u should not neglect the oil dipstick and check it regularly.
Best of luck with the new ride

Thankyou on the pictures comment. A couple of the ones I took were dealer brochure worthy (minus the bird crap of course).
True, no car is perfect and the safety recall on those control arms has been done.
Mileage is 100k so I do check the dipstick and luckily it has an oil pressure guage on it, pressure is still high.
I love the ride in it.
No 20+ wheels on it, this one is remaining bone stock...
Yes, I know that I need to clean up under the hood.

You can 4x4 with some Dubs, I wouldn't. Overhaulin' had a show with an Explorer where they put 20's on it with some off-road tires. But I won't do it.
I know some came 2wd only, but this is not one of them. I think the LS version was rear only.
