Super cool to see the potential of the i6 I have a twin 07 lt with a 5.3 and diffrent chrome factory wheels and its wierd to see a twin with the other wheels😂 you ever wanna get rid of youre stock bumper lmk I def want it if so
@@methodical_66 I already have the whole a2w setup. I've had it since the beginning. It was just going to take much more work to fab the piping and fit the intercooler box in. That's why we went this route first to get it running and driving.
Debadge,take bumper strips of doors. :) Upper 4 link arms in rear likes to break. 4L60E won't like the turbo for long. Best suv's ever,I got 7 of em. Also plan to turbo one ,following for the turbo parts.
DetroitAxle has cross drilled and slotted rotors . Just installed them on my 05 L’s TB and dig them so far and at a really good deal too. Keep up the killer work!
Amazing video. I just got some wheels. Btw how is the ride. Should I stay with the stock tires or go with the tires you picked out? Let me know thanks.
Most definitely keep the stocks as the “drag pack” it’ll look cool I’ve seen a few with a tire on the rears. Loving this channel dude. Informative and you don’t drag shit along you get too it or a small wait.
Sorry to spam the comments but i love giving input especially on these trucks. The door moldings look good if you ask me. The roof rack also. I think a wrap would make it 10x harder to tell
Looks way better man! Can’t wait to see some more driving, Or track testing! Would have been cool to do some before and after passes or even just street dragy or but dyno testing to see if it felt any better when launching or any improvements you noticed! very intrigued with the 4200 🤟🤟🤟
I do regret not getting before dyno numbers, but a few folks out there have bolt on trailblazer dyno numbers so I've used those for reference. Next week we have a track day and I'm pretty excited for that video and what we have planned!
@@J-Whit that’s awesome man! Can’t wait to see it! I love seeing budget style builds! Good luck at the track! It looks so sooo good with the SS wheels! 🤟🤟👍👍
Oh wow. Thats surprising. I've seen almost every trailblazer down here in florida have rear quarter rust. And I know the ones up in the north east are really bad. Maybe it's just certain years.
@J-Whit they will get crusty on the bottom of the doors and rear gate and a little bit on rear quarters but compare that to the Yukon and suburban and most Ford products it's a wild difference.
yea thats true. mine has some of that on the bootom of the doors on the inside. definietlyon the passenger side floor board area. i need to dedicate a day to putting it on the lift and cleaning it all up.@@joeyh7817
Man trade me trailblazers and turn mine into your 2.0 project., Bright side is you won't have to worry about any rust. And it mostly runs great hell. You couldn't keep your ss bumper I just want the rest of it!😂
Looks good, I’d definitely leave the side moldings on, I’m sure it’s a lot of work t take them off, then you’re guaranteed parking lot dings once they are gone.
My neighbor actually has a Silver SS, and it is the same color as ur car, ur bumper just doesnt match, which is unfortunate. I love the project, im gonna do the same thing to mine before i pull the 4200 for my vette. Then im puting the ls out of the vette into the trailblazer.
Imo I’d say go 3.73 gears. Can still get a nice launch and will get slightly better gas mileage. When you’re on the highway you can sit at a lower rpm. Add an oil catch can. I assume you have e-fans already? And a trans cooler is always a good idea
I have a catch can, but im ypgrading it soon. I dotn have efans yet. That and a radiator is coming soon. The only reason i dont want to do 3.73 is because i can throw the 4.10 front and rear diffs in from the ss and call it a day lol
I have the ext carbon copy of your trialblazer! Fun to see what you are doing to yours! Unfortunately the most common gearing with these was the 3.42 ratio non SS.
is yours 4wd? i have a 4wd ( want to do a rwd conversion in the future ) and i want to do basically the same thing cosmetically like you did.. any suggestions for suspension parts ?
@@J-Whit hahaha cool thanks man. found someone selling em cheap, but was wondering if i had to do any mods or if i could just install in the meantime. thanks again
I like it dude I , I’m fixing to drop my 07 Tahoe and thinking about snagging a trailblazer LS to be a second daily slash build a lot people do ss clones but you don’t see nobody do trail blazer ss clones , kinda crazy but this ss clone definitely got me thinking about doing my own
Looks great. Do you know of anyone that sells the parts to lower the rear of the LT 2 inches? I have looked for hours and all I can come up with is getting the 3 inch lowering springs and add a 1 inch lift block. Seems too complicated for what I want. I want the stock front ride height and the rear level with it. Mine has a 2 3/4 inch rake. Way too high in the rear.
@@J-Whit That's the thing. I don't want to lower the front and I don't want a Carolina Squat. So I need to lower the rear 2 inches. Thanks for the replies.
What do yall think!? Personally, i think it almost looks perfect, just needs the SS front bumper...

@tobybeaubien7044 as soon as I have the ss front bumper, mine will be coming off.
Did you buy an intercooler yet? Or are you more interested in looks right now?
@@methodical_66 I already have the whole a2w setup. I've had it since the beginning. It was just going to take much more work to fab the piping and fit the intercooler box in. That's why we went this route first to get it running and driving.
@@J-Whitit looks amazing.. it will ss parts fit with out mods ??
Just put 22s and removed roof rack yesterday and such a big difference in a day

Get the ones from rock auto i think it is $320 for front and rear.
I wish these 4200 Atlas engines were in some Impalas And Caprices, even the 2006 Monte Carlo SS.
Great content thank you
I totally respect what you're doing. You're doing a great job. I love your content. And I'm also 4.2 -L6 Vortech owner.
Amazing video. I just got some wheels. Btw how is the ride. Should I stay with the stock tires or go with the tires you picked out? Let me know thanks.
Thanks! I think the ride is pretty nice overall. I dont have any complaints. But my standards are pretty low haha
Get rid of that roof rack, man. Plus I see a lot of rust. other than that looks good man 410. Gears will wake it up.
oh there is a good amount of corrosion lol
Do you know why the front grill and headlights are different on some?
I dont. I know i like this look better lol
@@J-Whit I do too.. looks kinda like a Tahoe or something, in the front. Not a fan of the trim across headlights. Most I have saw have the trim.
@@J-Whit diggin the truck, I want to do something with mine but haven't, 170,000 miles, and runs perfect. Black with black leather interior
Hey man this is an awesome build! I got a Trailblazer SS that was also tuned by Jeremy. We should line them up some time to see the difference
Always down!

I live in Michigan and the gmt360 platform actually resist rust very well compared most other vehicles of the same age.

Having a hard time finding ss bumpers
They can be a pain to find.
HOW & where did you get SS 6 spoke rims ??
I just got them used off marketplace lol
did you have to run adapters for the wheels?
@@grimknight8454 no. They bolt right up and work fine.
Do you have any rubbing with the new rims & tires?
No sir! It clears and rides great!
How do you like the ride now. Is it really stiff? Thinking about doing those or beltech.
To be honest, it doesn't seem to ride any different than stock other than being a little lower.
@@J-Whit that is good to know. Thank you!
Man trade me trailblazers and turn mine into your 2.0 project., Bright side is you won't have to worry about any rust. And it mostly runs great hell. You couldn't keep your ss bumper I just want the rest of it!😂
Most TBSS's don't have the side moulding but my 06' and my current 08' have them as you can see in my videos.
Trailblazer RS!
That’s what I’m doing since these bodies are dirt cheap for the time being and the blocks.

Will the ss bumper fit correctly on an 02 guys?
Looks good, I’d definitely leave the side moldings on, I’m sure it’s a lot of work t take them off, then you’re guaranteed parking lot dings once they are gone.
My neighbor actually has a Silver SS, and it is the same color as ur car, ur bumper just doesnt match, which is unfortunate. I love the project, im gonna do the same thing to mine before i pull the 4200 for my vette. Then im puting the ls out of the vette into the trailblazer.
Just cause the i6 4200 is unique LTSS but once mine goes to HP heaven I will throw a LS3 into it!
Also my 2003 LS trailblazer was silver on the title but seemed gold-ish silver in person
The build is coming out great. Also I believe the paint on the bumper is actually silver birch metallic. Slightly different
Do you have a link for atlas industries? Could not find it when I searched it.
I am not sure if he has a link, i asked him just now and i will let you know what he says. He makes custom valve covers and rear sump pans.
His name is Eric, here is his email: Atlasindustries4200@gmail.com
Any rubbing issues running that size tire lowered?
I have not experienced any issues
@J-Whit thanks I ordered lowing kit ss wheels and nitto tires for mine lol
Imo I’d say go 3.73 gears. Can still get a nice launch and will get slightly better gas mileage. When you’re on the highway you can sit at a lower rpm. Add an oil catch can. I assume you have e-fans already? And a trans cooler is always a good idea
I have a catch can, but im ypgrading it soon. I dotn have efans yet. That and a radiator is coming soon. The only reason i dont want to do 3.73 is because i can throw the 4.10 front and rear diffs in from the ss and call it a day lol
Love it man! I wanna put a nasty 4200 in a little old ranger one day
Beautiful family bro! You are blessed 🥰🙏🏿👍🏿
I have the ext carbon copy of your trialblazer! Fun to see what you are doing to yours! Unfortunately the most common gearing with these was the 3.42 ratio non SS.
Nice! I am super excited to get the ss front and rear diffs in here and see what it will do on 4.10s! It should really wake up.
is yours 4wd? i have a 4wd ( want to do a rwd conversion in the future ) and i want to do basically the same thing cosmetically like you did.. any suggestions for suspension parts ?
Mine is 4wd! The SS suspension parts are identical to these. Beltech makes great stuff. Bmr has great products as well as thats what i went with.
@@J-Whit thanks
@@J-Whitwhat struts are those ? monroe from rock auto ? link please
@@StockCarGuy yes they are just stock replacements from rock auto
@@J-Whit 20x8, 9, or 10 for the wheels 🤔?
The crusty suspension adds character
I just rebuilt a 07 trailblazer 4.2 and am thinking of doing something similar. Would these wheels fit on stock suspension?
Yes they fit just fine. Just looked like a monster truck lol
@@J-Whit hahaha cool thanks man. found someone selling em cheap, but was wondering if i had to do any mods or if i could just install in the meantime. thanks again

Yea man, and the best part is seeing people scratch their heads when they see the motor lol
@@J-Whit it would be a game changer to start seeing v8 swaps with these , 4.8 Ls would be different then the traditional 6.0 ss comes with
Looks great! Is it fully tuned now? I remember he would only do 2nd gear pulls. Also did you get it to the track???
Yes it's good. The street tuning was the last of it. Track testing is this week!
@@J-Whit man I can't wait to see what it does. I'm itching to get mine done next year
Killer
Nice👍🏿
Looks a lot better!!

I dont but the bmr springs I got made it pretty dang level.
@@J-Whit Before you lowered the front?
@@mckrackin5324 No i meant after i lowered the whole thing. ill take a measurement but i dont think there is near that much rake on mine.
@@J-Whit That's the thing. I don't want to lower the front and I don't want a Carolina Squat. So I need to lower the rear 2 inches. Thanks for the replies.
I’d get some weld wheels
I'm not opposed to it if I found a great deal lol
