Really hoping these pictures work, I'm not exactly tech-savvy
And the last one is awful quality, but my co-pilot is the most handsome bastard I know she I had to get him in.

On my way to the bank to pay for my wheel spacers, thought I'd wheel a bit.

My buddy in the yellow YJ posted this on Instagram on Friday, from our ride last week and it got featured. The comments are mostly about the TBlaze, thought I'd pass along how impressed people are with our platform. :thumleft:

All I ever hear is, "who's idea was it to bring that out here" or... When they think I can't hear, "this guy's an idiot, Trailblazer's aren't made for this" Lol.

Ain't that the truth. My favorite is "you don't actually take that offroad do you?"

Since I usually hear if from some tool in a Z71 rolling on a hacked together body lift, and street tread 33's-35's, with stock everything but the ole flowmaster, I disregard it lol

I went with the Jeep club that day and heard the same remarks before we started. Didn't last long when the CJ and TJ running right in front of me had to continually be pulled out of stuff that I was crawling through. It got a ton of props after the run.

Found a good deal on some 36"ers on Craigslist and figured I'd try it out. Got em mounted up yesterday, but they do rub like a sunova. Not sure I'll keep them though. They do look cool though.

Needs bigger wheel spacers, but you should love the extra ground clearance!
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.

Definitely keep those they fill your fender well beautifully. Do they tuck nice?
