Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

What did you do to your GMT today?

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

Does this mean I'm free to speculate what I think is going on there?

yeah, I've mentioned it here and there, it's not really a secret, just haven't seen any point in posting about it given the amount of time it's taken. Most of last summer and fall I was working 70-90 hour work weeks (mandatory overtime, 16 hour days with one day off). I tore it down and then just didn't have time to spend on it. Overtime has calmed down a bit and I've started making some progress lately so I figured I'd toss some progress up. The other side is further along.
It's probably all gonna fall apart the first time it leaves the driveway anyways. So it just looks nifty. I wouldn't expect anything that works and is cool from me.

Hit the junk yard this morning to dig into an EXT Envoy. #2 injector is leaking on my rig, loading up and missing at idle so I pulled the intake on the junkyard one. $5 for each injector, but that intake was a PITA to get off. Thankfully the front accessory drive was already gone. Also nabbed one of the 17s off of it, my steel spare is junk, rust has eaten it to nothing.

Sad to see you leave the TB family Mike. Hope you still keep a presence around here! Congrats on all of your progress!

Getting spare tire mounted tomorrow and just got a 4.10 rear and front diff purchased, along with a PowerTrax locker. Spohn pan hard should be in this week as well, bushings are gone in mine and I can't find replacements anywhere.

All the parts! :excited:
