Dumping ground for offroad Trailblazer or Envoy general discussion.

So a while back I lost control of my blaze in the winter and slid into some trees. In turn made it want it is today. I found when I removed my rear bumper cover that the actual bumper was all messed up. I ended up cutting it off the reciver and putting just the reciver in. Got sick of hitting it on my departures so after months of doing so I got the bright Idea to take it off and flip it. It worked. With a drill and patiance. It just clears the gate as well. Might try to build off it for a bumper. And its up about 6 Indus or so,such is nice

The rear bumper n hitch receiver are one piece...

Chevycrew did the flip a ways back.

I did the same thing. Unbolted it, put the bolt in the nut, pounded the nut out, drilled new holes, pounded the bolt back in, then burned it in, bolted it back in. The back bolt stays the same. Essentially I copied chevycrew.

You gotta work on your posting man, I can usually figure out what you're trying to say, but it's pretty damn hard sometimes.

Ah man! I was expecting to see your hitch flip thing! I'm undecided on the tin work. Got more pics?
