Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Mods you wouldn't do again

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

The holes don't have knurls in them, they are just round holes and the stud gets pressed in. The stud is the only part that has knurls.

You're right, you got lucky you were at a decent shop. You may want to consider putting anti-seize on your lugs from now on. I've begun using anti-seize on everything I assemble on the truck.

Which ones do you have? There are minimal issues with any spacers. I would put them on anything after 2 years of rock solid performance. The money I saved w the ebay ones paid for my lift. I think they may be my best mod.

How much did you pay?

I think 160 when I bought em. They are from same maker as Markmc uses. 209 these days I think.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.

Cheap lights..... Yeah... for as much as I've dealt with buying cheapo lights, I could have bought quality for the same totals. Enough said there.

I have Nerfs on mine at the moment. Can't say I really want them, but I got mine to make the girlfriend happy since I was going to lift. I figure eventually I'll replace them with sliders but for the time being, it saves me from getting grumbled at and driving her cavalier everywhere. :roll:
