Since I still take care of it pretty well the Envoy doesn't have a clue to my lack of funds. I think it got jealous when I was looking at XLs, EXTs, and searching for 9-7X Aeros on Ebaymotors.

Yesterday, really. Washed it up, did some interior detailing, and shined the chrome up on the running boards. Thinking about seeing if I can shine up the "TrailBlazer LT" badge present on the rear, but I'm not sure if it's actually metal or just plastic made to look like metal. Hard to find an inconspicuous spot on such a noticeable thing, too!

Its plastic. I took my LT badge off with the bowties. No need for badges.

Pulled it out of garage on to the grass in the shade to wash it, drove back in to wax and buff. Some back to black for the plastics too. They are not bad but I like the wet look.

In my experience using plastic restore speeds up the fading, that's why I eventually painted all my trim. Hopefully it never happens to your TB :thumbsup:

Last summer I noticed a jeep with some real bad faded plastic. I thought mine didn't look new anymore when I saw some newer TB's but mine was not sun scorched etc. After some research I bought Mothers Back to Black and apply it maybe twice a year. I let it saturate before wiping clean. Doesn't look bad.

Perhaps next time I will do a before/after/week later pics to see how much it really works. Then an after winter pic too :biggrin:

Completed the diode mod on the BCM for quad beams. The low beam projector solenoid engages and the HID stays on. Not a bad mod for $1.50. Finally can use my projector in hi beam mode, thanks again Carlton :tiphat:

While I was there, I went ahead and cleaned up my capacitor mod with some connectors, 16awg wire, and heat shrink wrap. Did the same with the diode.

Took it impromptu offroading! :smile: This was yesterday. Was just driving around with the fam killin time and followed signs to 'Sleepy Creek Lake' near Berkeley Springs, WV. Took a 5 mile gravel road back to the lake and campsites, and found this sandstone pit with lots of little hills and dips and evidence of people shooting shotguns and pellet rifles at beer cans. Put it in 4HI and (slowly) tore it up! :smile: (didn't do any actual damage, to the truck or trail.) Made the wife get out so she could take pics:

This is looked like when we got home. Covered in reddish silt. Couldn't stand it on my new wax job so I rinsed it off later:

Just realized every time I start my car the clock on the radio is reset and the lights are super dim. When it starts up everything lights up just the way it should. The hell man. [emoji22][emoji23]
