Default It is possible

If anybody would ever want to build your trx4 into a dope blazer you can but I’m pretty sure most people wouldn’t want to because it’s a ton of work
List of things I’ve done
Custom made brass links out of rods
Shock hoops changed
What I have left:
Cutting holes for the shock hoops in he body
Custom made magnet body holders
Cut down driveshafts to fit
Put the body together
Hope this might help anyone

I certainly would not want a "dope blazer", that sounds like a meth-head with a cutesy name.

But seriously, a custom built Trail Blazer hard body would certainly be cool! And this forum was pretty much built on people who love doing a ton of work on their rigs to make them their own, and still a lot of us around.

What WB is that body, and what did you cut your links to?

Are you links all brass, or did you use all-thread and sheath it with brass?

How well does it line up for width?

Looking forward to seeing this done.

Giving me a great laugh thanks for that
Well being honest the links are just some brass threaded rod and the length isn’t specifically cut to anything and it lines up pretty well but I’m gonna have to sand down my sliders and have to cut a bit of the body so I don’t have any rubbing because I feel like the body is meant for 1.55 and I’m running 1.9’s so if you want the exact length I will take them out and measure them
And about how well it lines up for the normal person probably would want some flares but I love the aggressive look with the tires sticking out
Thanks
Edit: sorry forgot about answering about the wheel base
The wheelbase is the same as the trail Finder 2 (287mm) and my wheelbase on my truck is somewhere around there it’s a little off and I have some odd driveshaft angles but once I get the driveshafts cut up and fit on it hopefully will work and not just twist them and snap them
