Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Rear bumpers (was KMA)

Dumping ground for offroad Trailblazer or Envoy general discussion.

I had to swap a wheel on the trail back in August (tire side puncture :evil: ), and then back when the new tire came in. The D-Shackles on my bumper were the most stable point to use. I also used the Hi-Lift offroad base for extra height and stability. But definitely lifting only one corner instead of the entire front end is safer.

I love this idea and will defiantly incorporate these in. I will be posting an ad in the vendor section for you guys to come up with ideas or products that you want right now. Pleas take a look to see what everyone else is doing and leave a comment on what you would like. Thanks Neil.

talkin to a buddy of mine(NOT the offroad shop i mentioned to ya teebes,no word back yet from them) that does fab work.

he is interested in making bumpers for mine,front and rear,as well as sliders,for only cost of material and any food and drink he may consume while doing it,plus the money i owed him.

now to design!
