Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

New guy from MI

New members: please introduce yourself here.

by 04Canyon » Mon Jun 14, 2010 3:35 pm

Whats up everyone just wanted to introduce myself real quick. My name is Ryan and live in Warren,MI. I dont own a Trailblazer or Envoy but own a 2004 GMC Canyon. Just here to see what others are doing with there rigs and maybe meet up with some locals for some offroad fun.
I have a long list of mods, but a quick breakdown include:
4" Skyjacker lift kit
TB crank and 2" shackles
3" PA body lift
Pro Comp 16x8
Toyo open country M/T 33x11.5

Here are a couple pics of my ride so you can see what Im working with.

I'm envious of the amount of space between your tires and the top of your wheel wells... *sigh*

Nice truck....needs more trail striping though. :friday:

Welcome. Very nice looking truck. A 355 would have been my other choice if I had not gotten the TB. It's already been said, but we need to see pics with it dirty, although we don't send much shit to the mall cruisers :poke: .

Ouch guys!! harsh crowd here. I do take great pride in my truck as you can see with how clean it can be, But I didnt lift it throw heavy tires on it for the great 13.5mpg/city. So to satisfy the masses here are just a couple I got recently at Bundy Hill in Jerome Michigan.

You've stumbled upon a crowd where we take more pride in showing off our brush striping than our shine.

Gotta ask... what are you doing in the picture below...?... backing into a bush?

I think he was measuring his articulation. Looks like the pass side rear tire is off the ground...

It was a tight turn into a downward slope, just trying to get a better angle on it. And yes loved seeing the flex with the tire off the ground. Thank you guys for the comments.

Nice truck, I've actually been thinking about getting one myself. Z-71 with the 5.3L V8 I think would be nice.

Thank you, my friend has one crew cab 5.3l Z71 and he loves it. Only problem is with the trucks end in sight 2012, aftermarket hasnt done much for it. And with the 09'-10' model years different from the earlier years there is currently only one suspension lift kit available for it. And the detuned 5.3l on them really need some waking up with 207HP to the wheels on a 2wd one.
