Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

What did you do to your GMT today?

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

I would die if I went that long without a car wash lol. I will have to look for it. Especially if I do that badge removal. I would like them gone.

I wash mine every so often but that'll probably change once it's lifted and doesn't fit in a drive thru car wash any longer, I'm definitely going to get some so I can put it on and see if it works for me

Finally got the my 43" led light bar all wired up that my wife gave me for my B-day. Mounted it on my roof basket.

I also moved my 4" square work lights the back of the basket. I wired it with a three way switch for three modes. Reverse, off, and work.

Yeah the engine is wrecked, won't spin by hand or by starter with the plug's pulled.

I was out wheeling, went through a hole, deep, but no problems. Came back the other way, and it ran up and out, then died right there. It was not very dramatic at all, I was at 3500 rpm or so, then nothing lol.

Washed it so I could tell what colour it is, after running about 80km (50 mi) of muddy logging roads on Sunday. i couldn't get in or out of the thing without getting mud all over my clothes, LOL.
