Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Being mall-rated ain't all that bad...

Dumping ground for offroad Trailblazer or Envoy general discussion.

Demolition on our local mall began this month. It certainly raises the challenge level :hmm:

You'd better armor the whole truck, that busted up rebar can shred just about anything; tires, oil pan, brake lines, body panels, -----

Haha not a chance! I just got new tires a few weeks ago, no way I'll be taking a chance of punching holes through them. It's not like they would let anyone in through the fence anyway.

I just thought I'd throw a little spin on the whole "mall-rated" concept and stir up some chat. :)

What good are new tires if you don't use them?

What good are new tires with rebar sticking out of them? ;)

I'm planning for a heavy Winter. We've had a really weird Summer with a lot of rain (but no flooding this time), so there's a chance of a lot of snow.

we're expecting the same up here in the NE, it's been a cool mild summer. I haven't got to enjoy any solid 100 degree days. I miss that TX sun. We're storing up supplies.
