Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

opinions...

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

I agree with James. I like them all.

Might be worth trying each one with Plastidip for a little while to figure it out. I know with my stuff ill do it and then think of doing it another way. I'm still thinking of redoing my wheels (exactly like mikekey's factory wheels) but leaving the lip unpainted this time.

I'm a fan of the clean look. I think your truck looks awesome clean white in the first picture. If you want to change it, I'd vote for the 3rd pic. The lines work with the body really good.

I like the 3rd picture.

I really liked how zombiekiller had his side masked off... maybe someone could "do it right".

I think it would look better with 37's on it. ;)

just kick the rear axle back a bit more after you clearance the rear bumper and cut up the firewall... should fit just fine. I'm sure the hubs, diff, rear axle, and disconnect will die more quickly, but you are already replacing the hubs every year... just sayin. No better time than now if you're going to be bed lining the fenders... lead the way sir! :flex dirty:

if someone was adventurous and didn't mind making things massively unreliable I'd agree. It'd be an experience, that's for sure. I think there might be better options.

After seeing it for a day I may have to change my mind on the straight line, I like it when I see it in person, still like the fenders paint too so it may go to a coin toss!

So I'll be doing the fenders then cause I already get asked about my "jeep" enough as it is, gets annoying, how do the miss the bowtie on the front! and on both sides!

I had a can of free plasti-dip, I was dying to spray something with it and I couldn't think of anything better! Almost went to get more and finish the truck but didn't feel like wasting the $$ when I could tell if I wanted it off one side. Weather and Wife permitting I might do this for real this weekend!
