I stumbled across this thread, so I signed up. I dont own a Trailblazer/Envoy but own a GMT355 Canyon. Just wondering if you guys wouldnt mind some company from some 355's or if you wanted to keep it in the family. I know I would be down for this and a few others from 355NATION.

Regardless of the fact that they don't have a crappily located ball joint and don't need that many mods to get larger wheels
This is an aggressive post. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate a post of this quality and depth.

Anything is welcome...especially if its a bowtie!

But for safety reasons,no toyotas :raspberry: nobody wants to get rear-ended here!!!


I know motocross will probably have his grand cherokee instead of his trailblazer,i will be in contact with him to try to talk him into the trailblazer instead of the grand cherokee though,but its his wife's baby and technically not his,so he has to ask the wifey!

Last time I was there, motocross had his Grand Cherokee, with the doors removed, on the trails. He (or whoevers it is) left his TB in the parking lot. .

Hey. I had a Toyota before. But this one even with the stuck accelerator would slow down , it was a diesel, yet, as fuel efficient as the Highlandrius.

For the next TECORE,i think that michigans upper penninsula would be a great place,you see alot of guys hitting it up on expedition portal.

I cant wait until september,hoping that i can have a lift on by then,but dont hold it against me if i dont.

And ill probably end up doing bundy with the TJ(motocross,you remember the willys edition TJ im always in) sometime in july or august.

Welcome! Remember me that one weekend I was there? The Jeep was working then. That was also when I broke my T-case, which is waiting to be fixed.

Just an update.

Possibility of a regular trailvoy meet this same weekend at the diner directly adjacent to the entrance to Bundy Hill.

This could potentially be a very big weekend,both for the offroaders and the regular Trailvoy folk!

I have some good news! I bought a replacement transfer case for $85. Unfortunately, it is a 2004 NP8 because the 2005 I thought about buying had a big hole in the side. I'm 99% sure this is the problem I am having so I will test the old one out after I remove it. I should be able to use my 4 wheel drive in all it glory that day. :flex dirty:

I was told about this meet a while back and thought I might be able to come out with 04canyon but I am not sure at the moment. But the reason I am posting, is that some of the 355 guys will be going out to Bundy Hill the weekend of Aug 14-15th as well. Just thought I would toss it out there for those that are available.
