Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

New kid from FL looking for help on my envoy

New members: please introduce yourself here.

I've had my Envoy for all of about seven months now and I'm looking for some possible improvments I can do myself. I'd like to get a levling kit and some new (black) wheels. Ive taken off the running boards and am considering removing the front bumper. I dont exactly know how vast the possibilities are for improving my baby and was hoping yall could maybe open my eyes to the world of off road. I'm new to all this stuff so any help is really appreciated. This isnt an up to date picture but figured it was better then nothing.

welcome aboard Kyle.
In order for us to help you, you need to do 2 things....
1. tell us what your goal is in offroading
2. do some reading/searching.

here are some links I swiped from a thread James posted to get you started.


here is the Build chart that shows some of the different options others have added on. It still needs some more work with the larger sizes but has a lot of the others.

Welcome, Kyle!

Member DirtyBacon04 just moved back to Florida, just west of Orlando. If you want to see a nicely built-up (and used hard) one in person, he's the guy to contact.

I checked out your build thread and have a question. When you took off the plastic thing where your rock sliders now are, how did you manage to keep the weather stripping there? I already took off my running boards and I was gonna take that off today but discovered it holds up the weather stripping along the side.
