Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

What did you do to your GMT today?

Trailblazer and Envoy related, but not off-road related...

Decided to try some new rear shocks. Same Bilstein 5100 that Mr. Barton is running. Somehow 2 day shipping from my order yesterday has them scheduled to be here Monday??? Amazon Prime is not what it used to be if that holds true.

Did you ship it before or after 5:00? If you did then that is wrong, but If you made the order after 5:00 then today and tomorrow would be the shipping days, to be delivered Monday. If you ordered it before 5:00 then it should of shipped yesterday and today, to be delivered tomorrow.

Some times if it comes from a third party seller it's not eligible for Amazon Prime even tho it's still free shipping.

Are these the ones you ordered, Bilstein (24-186742) 5100 Series Rear Shock Absorber

Got the brakes bled! Ended up having an issue with the master not pushing fluid to the front 2 calipers. Bench bled it and was able to get fluid. Hoping this weekend it'll be going for a lap or 2 around my block.

You could get everything done but the tires/wheels, and get them mounted on Thurs or Friday evenings (a lot of tire places close at 7), and still make it.
