Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

What did you do to your GMT today?

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

At least it helps you figure out if you like the configuration. If you're going to replace your roof cross bars, you can drill them and use them for a light bar. They're crappy for a roof basket, but amazing for a light mount. :cheers:
The problem with the Trailblazer is, people think you know what you're doing.

Oil change, tire rotation, and this little bugger. 4hrs total, and the axle was a breeze to get out. The marks around the seal aren't from me. Those are from the dealership, when I took it in for the fuel sender, and they found the axle was slinging grease.

Found a door to replace the dented one. Best of all it's the same color and only cost me $125 complete. :woot:
I was able to pull the dent from the fender some but I might take it off and work on it some more. The door trim is like 1" higher on the replacement. I know I won't be able to save tape on the back of the trim once I remove , does anyone know where can I buy the sticky tape for the door trim

Or keepin the molding..I believe you can use a 3m double sided tape. Or I could be way off, but I would start there if not demolding.

Drove it around today, listening to the various squeaks and the passenger shock top out in the damaged spacer. Are my Radflos here yet?!?!

Same here, I'm putting my order in tomorrow, and the ship date can't come soon enough. I'm pretty sure my springs have also sagged over time and my truck has more rake than when I lifted it back in 2010.
This is an aggressive post. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate a post of this quality and depth.

Just looks like too much lift in the rear. What do you have stacked in there?!

That's just Marks 3" lift spacers and my Z71s. My stock front springs are almost completely compressed.
