- - 2006 Trailblazer and 35's (https://blazerforum.com/forum/lifting-tech-44/2006-trailblazer-35s-57926/)

Some new work on the rig. Picked up some new wheels n tires. 35s on 17s again, but Falken MT and American Outlaw wheels this time. Stripped off the roof rack and rear bumper swings for a re-do of configuration and powdercoating. Also played with one of the front grills and made it white for awhile. Need to pull off white strip on windshield and go back to regular tint ASAP as well. Added some projector headlights. Also put in some LED headlight bulbs...not impressed. Think I will do a better projector and go back to HID bulbs again. Also added new door speakers since it was down to one working occasionally. Also got a new single sub to take up less room in the rear. Did get a double din head unit but it is not installed yet. Swapped out the old Hooker exhaust for a Magnaflow and 3 inch dump. It was sorely needed. Also picked up a couple new jerry cans to build the rear swing around cause i want a shelf/dual can holder that I can use more often. Slapped in some new hubs and tie rod, but need to regrease the splined disco and do the CVs when I get a bit more time. Been awhile, so its about time for basic maintenance.

On the truck. Ride nice and seem like they do pretty good.

The grill for something different, but its already about to change the more I look at it. Easy silly fun when you got 3 spares.

Also got a new Rad skid with fresh powdercaot and some seriously beefly bolt head connecters.

I will get a pic of it installed since I forgot, but the difference is amazing. As the exhaust was rotting I did not realize how loud it had become with basically a straight pip setup over the past year or so. With the simple Magnaflow and turndown it sounds nice and clean with much less inside noise. Almost silent to my ears. We cut the old mounting bolts and pulled the rust out. Used a new flange gasket and bolted up new stuff, but to fit right with the dump we shorted it a couple inches and welded it right to the muffler exit. The mount on the magnaflow was for an ext, so I had to chop the part that slid in the rubber hanger off and weld it right to where the dump was attached. Fit right is and is nice and solid. It now dumps a few inches before the rear axle.

I really like the new rims on your TrailBlazer. They look awesome.

Thanks. I could not decide between a few and the wife said she liked the gunmetal w machined over the others with the black in them. I think they fit pretty well myself

Man, this is the meanest looking trail Blazer I've ever seen. Great job with it! Can't wait to see how the half doors turn out.

Hey dude! Whats up. I did not know you are a member here

Yep. It had been awhile, but came snooping around here for some data for my buddy doing a SAS on his s-blazer.
