Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

New members: please introduce yourself here.

Well I'll start off by saying Hello... so HI!

I'm Levi. I have come here to perform research on for an Envoy. Not because I own one, but my sister is 99% sure she is buying my grandma's for her first vehicle and she wants to lift it.

And before this :need pics: comes out. I'll say that I don't have any of the Envoy because frankly, the rig is 3 hours from home and I'm 8 hours further away. But if it will suffice I'll share a pic of my colorado.

Image

It has 3" lift via keys, shackles, and AAL. with 32x11.50r15 Cooper STT tires. I am waiting to go home for spring break to install my body lift and put my Hellas back on :mechanic: . I frequent 355nation.net, I know there's a couple of those guys over here too (onelowton come to mind. Hi Kenny! lol )

I'll put up a picture when my sister picks up her new vehicle in god knows when.

Peace homies!

Not really. I'd like to think I'm pretty much the only active Mi member haha. But there are others that are here and there.

Well then. I guess I'll try to add to the few. Don't know how active I'll get, depends on how well my sister decides to keep up with her Envoy.

:woot: Well a welcome back to MI when you do come back. :cheers: I am happy that up in the Keweenaw there is a lot of sand used as opposed to salt. So much nicer on my truck. And the Envoy was babied through its life up 'til now since it was owned my my grandma. Hopefully it makes installing lift components easier. :lol:
