OK so don't bother trying to strip the chrome off of the grill. That's not gonna happen. I'll be rolling like this for a few days.

That's a great Mod.

[CaptainKD]

Its the BlazingTrails Grill Mod.

 

[BlazingTrails]

It actually look pretty cool lol

I'm looking at my options for a replacement

 

[CaptainKD]

There's options?

 

[BlazingTrails]

Yeah, either a non chrome version of the ls grill bar, or 2007+ Lt front bumper and grill. Then there's always the option to make my own.

This is why I pulled mine. I can't seem to keep paint on the chrome. I prepped it correctly but when driving on the interstate in the rain it was blasted. This is the second time this happed. Not doing that again

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

I wish my aftermarket grill was two piece

 

[CaptainKD]

I wish I had a Denali style grill.

 

[SnowBlazer]

BT, there's someone who did the same as you on ORTB. They just filed the headlights with diamond mesh.

 

[BlazingTrails]

I will put some thought into it at work tonight. May play around with a photo editor.

 

[mcsteven]

Call me crazy but, do automatic carwashes oxidize headlights??

No.

Had bdubs for lunch. Tasty.

What's that?

BT's TB got it's front toof knocked out maw

 

[CaptainKD]

 

[mcsteven]

Like BT, his TB is a whore. Luckily he has a woman and kids to counterbalance all the whoring.

 

[Capote]

His TB is a dirty whore now

 

[CaptainKD]

.......and you Sir, are a Whore

Well....i have some bad news...the Blazer is down with a dead starter...and its looking like the Trailblazer will be gone by the end of the day....Kind of bittersweet but that is life...I can always buy another GMT360 later on down the road...

 

[Capote]

Whoa whoa you're letting it go??? No man

 

[Darkrider_LS]

Whoa whoa you're letting it go??? No man

Sadly I have no choice in the matter....i need a running vehicle for both jobs and can't keep stretching the Blazers life span out with life support...this is just the latest in a series of problems that I keep chasing on it.

 

[djthumper]

OK, why is the TB going to be gone?

[Capote]

I thought the only thing wrong with your TB was the passenger side suspension system

 

[Darkrider_LS]

OK, why is the TB going to be gone?

Because its being traded in...as much as i would like to keep it, as i said i need a running vehicle. Dont really have the resources to change the starter in the blazer again since i required a lift last time...On the flipside ironically enough i had started to price out the parts i needed for the TB this morning....Current running total just for the main pieces is around $1500...

 

[Capote]

So are you going to be trading it in for that car you told us about....? ...

 

[djthumper]

traded in on what though?

 

[Darkrider_LS]

I thought the only thing wrong with your TB was the passenger side suspension system

Right front suspension needs repairs, needs to have the steering rack either rebuilt or replaced, at this stage it also needs a new battery...

So are you going to be trading it in for that car you told us about....? ...

Yes most likely....

traded in on what though?

2014 Toyota Corolla S

 

[djthumper]

I think you need a 2014 Bowtie

 

[Capote]

Poor TB..... Will probably end up in the hands of a clueless, non GMT enthusiast [emoji32]

 

[Darkrider_LS]

I think you need a 2014 Bowtie

If i could have found one in the price range i was working with..yea i agree...but at least i go down from $500/month in payments down to $320/month...so that helps a lot right there...

Poor TB..... Will probably end up in the hands of a clueless, non GMT enthusiast [emoji32]

Well...maybe..maybe not...depends on if the Dealership removes the decals on the hatch...

It actually does not look bad blacked out in the center. Like Ryan mentioned, I have seen others fill in the gap on the LS headlights with some sort of mesh. You could also get LT headlights and do some sort of a custom grille. That way you would not have to replace the LS bumper with one from an LT.

At least you will get good gas mileage. How will it handle with all the snow you guys get? What about the security job, dont you do a lot of offroad driving?

 

[djthumper]

So they don't have any 2014 Sonics left? http://www.chevrolet.com/sonic-small-car.html very similar to the Corolla...

 

[dmanns67]

Get a Volt, go green [emoji3]

I hope you're kidding..... ^^^

Hope we will still see you in the forums, Chris. The Corolla is a very good car. Low maintenance, long life, good fuel economy, and probably lower insurance rate. Combine those with lower car payments and you'll be saving money for your wedding. Invest in some snow tires and or the plastic, hub based "chains" and you'll be good for a few years. I've got friends who've owned Corollas for ever, handing them down to their kids, then the next kid, etc. A few have made it over 250K miles (over 400K KM) with nothing major other than a CV joint or two. Besides, you'll love having a warranty. Just don't let the car dealer know you use your car for work - that's commercial use and probably, somehow, voids the warranty.

Fix the Blazer when you can and throw a GMTNation sticker on the Corolla.

The Sonic is a lot smaller than the Corolla. Closer to the size of the Volt or maybe even the Cruze.
