Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Grille

Something not working right?

by RyansTBLS » Wed Mar 28, 2012 3:28 pm

Ok, I'm sure this is a stupid question, not even sure it goes here, I want to replace the grille. I found the clips and unclipped it, but it's still tied to the chrome bar that goes across. I can't seem to figure out how that releases, seems to be tied in by the headlights, which for some reason seem to be stuck. Am I missing a screw ( :mrgreen: ) or clip somewhere? :wallbash:

So it's clipped on the ends by the headlights?

Helps if you can stick something in behind the chrome trim to pry it out gently.

Ok a couple more questions, is there a clip in behind the bowtie? and would it work with something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Westin-34-0700-Po ... &carId=003

(let me know if the link doesn't work)

Why would you do that?
Once lifted 03 Trailblazer on 35's, gave it up to travel the USA with my family.

I replaced my grille with expanded steel and headlight filler panels after breaking the stock one.

The bowtie on my 02 had 2 plastic rods that went through then a sheetmetal type nut on the inside.

Didn't think it came that far up on the front above the bumper. :poke:
I will be getting both skidplates from mike once I get closer to working on the underside of the car, you know when it's not raining :happy whip:

If you need a metal plate in front of the rad like that you don't need a TB you need a tank, or get a snowplow!
