Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

What did you do to your GMT today?

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

I un-flipped mine, I flipped them because I had planned to have my lift shortly after doing it... But things have gotten in the way and I won't have the lift for awhile so I put then back to normal.

Well... Since we had a nice day, I decided to get one of my two Mag-Lites mounted in the truck. Rethinking the mounting placement on the front door, for the second one. These things hold the lights TIGHT. The INT panel likes to pull out and push in a bit as the light is removed or put back. Overall, very happy with the placement on this one.

I have my 6 cell mounted to fuse panel cover under Dr rear seat. One clamp and it never moves. Set it at a height where the bulb end rest on floor for weight support.

Nice placement in the rear I thought about going vertical on rear pillar.

I was thinking about the pillar, but decided against it. With the two mounts, its hard to get a good mount on the curved surfaces. The mounts like it be flat and as even as possible, between the two.

Started my removable rear seat project. Going to be decent out again tomorrow, sure I'll find something else to tinker with.

At the moment yes. I originally bought 5 tires of the Grabbers since we where going on our trip so soon, so I'm debating what to do for our spare as I'm pretty sure they aren't going to fit on the spare rim I have. But at the moment I have no plans to go wheeling or hard on her, so I feel fine without the spare while I work out the kinks in my plan. 8-)

Used Bfg at in 315 are pretty easy to find since h2 came stock with them. Grab one n a steel wheel. Better than far off mismatched size or going without.

That case I might buy more than one spare if I can find some around town.

Not as much as we wanted to. Murphy's law met the rig today. I'm surprised Mikekey is still sane. I was about ready to throw a wrench at her.

I installed my massive upper and lower control arms and panhard bar. Taking a break, then making final adjustments in awhile.
