Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

How tall is everyone's Trailblazer?

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

I wanted to ask this question because I keep looking at pictures and they seem so much taller then mine. I went and measured the height of mine. My TB is exactly 6ft 7" to the top of my light bar. It seems tall to me, but a few others seem way taller. Thanks :flex dirty:

it is because you have Mark's 2 inch body lift instead of the 3 inch model(per your sig) :-)

Lol, I know what I have and what others have. But 1" can't make that BIG of a difference can it? How tall is your TB?

I was kidding, your build shows 3" BL but your sig shows 2". I'm not sure of my height, I only have a 2.5 inch suspension lift and 30" tires. I'm still in the pee wee league! You may not want to go much higher or you'll have problems with standard garage doors.

Haha, I know you were kidding. I actually noticed that my sig is different from my BT. I will change that. And just to confirm, I have the 2"body lift and 2.5"suspension lift. Ya I've got to be careful with the garage door heights. I can't fit under most underground parking lots anymore.

I know mine is well over 7 ft with the rack and tire on top. I'd have to measure to the roofline to get an exact number now.

I avoid parking garages. :mrgreen:

Ya sorry, I should have made that more clear. I'm looking for the roof line measurement. Over 7ft tall. That's wicked man!

Christian, unless Donny has come down a little (since he got a new rig), Donny is at about 4 inches suspension lift(RC lift +88s+washers) + 3 inches of body lift + 35 inch tires.

Ya I'd like to know from the people who have similar setups to me. But I'd also like to know how tall they sit with 35's.

I thought about it, but ultimately decided against it. It IS currently 2WD though, since I haven't bought a new disconnect housing yet.

I would, but building a stout Toyota front axle is $$$.

I just put the 3rd back into mine tonight. Putting the knuckles back on tomorrow and leaving Thursday for 5 days. New 5.29s, Spartan locker, Longfields, all new bearings, etc etc.

Back on topic: I'll measure my junk tomorrow morning.

Donny, seems like I saw someone parting their disconnect/housing out. Was it Ben?
I'll have to check.

RimoniManu had one that sold, Ben also had one that needed rebuilding. I think he was going to possibly send it to JD.

I think with no crossbars up top i am right at 7 feet. Another 8 inches for bars and basket prolly. Another 4 to 5 if a tire is up there. Be over 8 feet but with new bumper and tire on rear it is under 8 but parking garages are a no go zone as fish said.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.

Cool thanks Hardtrailz. I'm loving that new bumper by the way.

Funny how people on Pirate call their trail rigs their "junk." When I tell the TSA groper what NOT to touch at the airport, I use the same word. :facepalm:
