Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

What did you do to your GMT today?

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

I changed out my stepper motors for my gauges, also dropped my trans pan and changed the filter and changed my engine oil

Finished up my changes to the Trailgear rock sliders. I ordered them in December. I hope to have them on at least in 2014. LolImage

Disconnected the rear sway bar finally. Came out fairly easily. Still rides well on road, looking forward to getting on some trails soon and testing it out.

Did some non-offroad ordering of new speakers to alleviate the crackling on road trips.

I need to look at mine, my driver side speakers work only intermittently. It isn't really that noticeable to me most of the time.

So this past weekend, I updated the sway bar links from stock to moog links, removed the running boards,finished up the light bar ( thanks for the How to ) Still gotta get it wired up... added some new Tires ( Master Craft COURSER A/T2 ) They seem to work better the Mickey Thompson I had. cleaned up the front grill and Plastic coated it, course I have no clue as to what i did with it, but Ive seemed to have miss placed my chevy bow tie lol, this weekend Im changing out the struts and shock, still trying to figure out which way to go, since its my DD I need ( want both )...

Jebus! Really? CL used! Man, that sounds like a deal. I secretly have been wanting to purchase that hood. I like it more than I like the MPDD hood. Just can't justify another appearance mod yet before I get my axles and bumpers and sliders taken care of. Oh well.

Looks sharp, going to get it painted anytime soon?

Thanks man it is well constructed
I couldn't pass it up. I told the guy about the site and had some more goodie for sale but 06 up it fits. I think it is staying black I'm into the old school flat black hoods.
