Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

What did you do to your GMT today?

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

New rims and tires look sweet Hardtrailz! Does the rim have more negative offset? Looks like the tires are sticking out a little more than before.

They are back to the offset of my black chrome ones. I like this better as at full lock I do not hit the frame at all anymore. I think it changed from 12 to -6

It only happened in parking lots at full lock so it was not a big deal really, but annoyed me cause i hate rubbing.

Oh yeah I definitely understand that. I did my trimming immediately to stop the rubbing I was getting when I got my new rims, but I'm not at the frame rubbing stage yet! Maybe one day soon once I get my 4.10s in the front and rear differential though

Oh yeah, that and I'm buying a new diff cover for it. I wasn't expecting it to be rust free though... and the differential under my tb now doesn't look any better anyway haha... Gotta love how much salt they put down in Maine :facepalm:

I have spares. Going to be in Indy Saturday so I can bring one down if you want. Shouldn't your to do list include a condenser as well?

I got a few spare disco's. Couple in pieces and couple whole, but not sure on condition. I got one from the SS I just got the spare 4.10 diff from that looks good.

I do need to do the condenser, but never think about AC with it being cold!

New air cleaner (Fram) and 2 new low beam bulbs, Phillips X-treme vision, which don't seem to be as "white" as the GE Nighthawks, one of which failed when I got a little too aggressive on logging road washboard Sunday afternoon.

New hub for the driver side front got rid of the low pitched growl.

Got the P0014 code. Debating if its worth cleaning or just swap out the part. Been 80K miles since I put one in.
