Do any modifications need to be made to install these plates?
Once lifted 03 Trailblazer on 35's, gave it up to travel the USA with my family.

As far as I know you dont have to make any at all. I ordered mine but have to wait till I am back from the desert to pick them up and install them.

Unless you want bolt head protectors, they are bolt in. Mike will weld the protectors on for you for a small fee.

Actually, I take that back... You'll need to cut some of the front part of the inner fender plastic for a bumper... Though you need to do that if you're rolling with just the stock impact bar, anyway...

I imagine you could throw that skid on a camp fire and cook some bacon on it though :-)

One of only two Trailblazer/Envoy oil pan skid plates to ever run the Rubicon Trail. Historic, and may never be repeated without a SAS truck.

Wish I was closer to play on the rubicon

Roadie, did you have the front receiver hitch on your TB then?

No, that was after I traded him the hitch for the skids...

God no. That was an expensive, but short-lived experiment before I had my bumper made. Everything I did in the first 3-4 years seemed to be an expensive, but short-lived experiment. But every item was well-loved and well-used and got me some functionality I needed for learning and growing experience. If I jumped straight from stock to the current Roadiemobile with currently available mods, I wouldn't have been able to drive it safely on the trails I can walk through now.

I mean, just LOOK at this insane noob, about an hour before he got into the most EPIC mud stuck: What was he (I) THINKING!?!?!??!?!?
