Full Build: Trailblazer SS Turns Into A Drift Beast

[@crw3673]

This was a awesome project but with all the modifications, you might as well had used a regular base Trailblazer. Why cut up and modified a perfectly good Trailblazer SS, to install another LS V8 and T56 transmission?

[@ELGTP]

that's exactly what I was going to say, why did you take a beautiful SS to strip it and there's nothing left of an SS except the SS badge on the steering wheel... a Trailblaser or an Envoy with a basic 5.3 would have been perfect does the job and is less "rare" than a nice clean SS like this.

[@627miko]

Fr. But it makes sense if I remember this correctly- The base model and EXT TBs, Envoy, and the 5 other cars on the GMT360 platform have the front axle go through the oil pan. So you'd have to track down a 2wd TB that isn't beat to hell and back or redo the entire front end to either maintain or delete the 4wd system. Sorce- I own an 04 trailblazer LT, and I work on it myself. Anything to do with the front suspension is a pain in the ASS

[@nissanbrown6144]

Because they wanted to used a ss stop complaining

@@nissanbrown6144 bite my shiny metal ass!🤪

[@thegreatoutdoors9769]

Cause nobody knows how to actually modify an LS engine properly

[@paxhumana2015]

The Chevrolet TrailBlazer SS also had some cousins that can be modified as well, such as the GMC Envoy of the time, as well as the Buick Rainier, Saab 9-7X Aero, and the Isuzu Ascender. The 5.3 L Vortec V8 engines are nothing to sneeze at as well.

i like the fact that you two go to the same barber. the only takeaway from that build is replacing the "SS: wheels with them little cheap Enkei wheels, that cheapened up the build to a "getto daily" driver from the hood!

[@evanshireman5644]

They aren't cheap and they're very lightweight. That alone should tell you why they used them.

[@TBSSLS2]

I love my TBSS but that 4 speed trans really slowed us down and kept back all that potential

[@06tbss]

if they came with a 6l90 we would be ANIMALS selectable tcase would be nice too

[@Thesaurcery4U2C]

They do make the coolest commercials ever.

[@DQuanAlSamirOHoulihan]

that wrap is nefarious

[@firedustman]

very cool to see this suv sliding, it's like an ballerine elephant 😆😆

[@dkmorris713]

You should wrap that hood with an American flag with the amount that thing waves in the wind.

[@TopZa1]

Was the truck bone stuck when you guys were doing donuts in the beginning?

BEST AMERICAN SUV!!!!!!

[@digitalranger4259]

Great work, but with all of the mods, why did you ruin an SS?? You could have done the same to a base model vehicle.

[@mrberg4616]

That hood was looking good at first. Adding steel to a carbon hood defeats the point of carbon and it still was flopping in the wind.

[@two0sixEL]

Wow I wish I would've saw this sooner. Did you guys really throw away the interior I can really use it I'm putting together a 92 blazer sport with the 5 spd manual and that interior is too perfect. Anyways AWSOME build I'm literally building my buddies 07 tbss so watching this is entertaining af😊😊 great vid!!

[@tatted_dad7827]

I’ve got a project for you guys. How about an 05 gmc Yukon Denali xl swapping a 6 speed manual for the 4l65e but keeping it awd

[@TheSilverSphincter69]

they guys from engine power are gonna be wanting the wrench back

[@rPrX-ec2tq]

Yu work with a adapter or some Spacers on the rims ...? its stock with 6 lug nuts , but showin a 5hole Wheel here .. ;-)

[@NoStopN]

It looks like they used adapters.

[@joeethereal2968]

Pronounced "console" as "counsōl". Nasty work.

[@alexguzman3628]

Where can I get some of those costume upper control arms?

[@H4Z3YT]

why the reality tv cuts? this is youtube not Discovery channel

[@partysodown]

These things are so cool

[@R.J.1]

100%

[@dipe277]

Bet that thing is heavier than stock now

[@torqueandbeanssauce]

Problem is you did all that work and didnt add any steering angle.... thats why you kept spinning out, there wasnt enough steering angle to keep from spinning out and being able to bring it back when it gets real sideways.

[@stevenserna3723]

Have any of these parts for sale ?

Good name for the show carcus

Straight up clown energy modding this whip.

[@levipablo9655]

When did this become a reality show? Are they gonna start arguing?

[@mr_cupcakes1808]

I like watching these videos where everything just goes right... that's classic tv... when people put things together looking like an easy job when it actually took almost infinite hours of elbow grease, sweat, blood and tears love the content I'd rice that mf up even more than that tho ayy lmao

[@ej2civicb736]

529 hp from a crate 6.0 that has over 400hp supposedly holley ecu and blower only made that through a 6speed someone cant tune or something else is going on

[@everettgrover9459]

maybe, but it was also only 5 pounds of boost and the supercharger was designed for a C5 vette

[@amagedoncorelone]

exactly NA power with a blower.. time to celebrate 😂

[@everettgrover9459]

@@amagedoncorelone lol truth be told I expected more power myself, but also looked like they used stock intake and fuel rails, I think if those were also upgraded the power would increase that much more

[@jonallen1985]

Not gonna lie, I like this show better than XOR. No offense to Eliza Leon, she was cool.

[@SpeedHero]

This was quite a tone-deaf build to the requirements, needs and overall sub-culture of drifting, especially if you're just learning. Regardless it was entertaining to watch. Hood tutorial was the most useful part of this. 3/10

[@mikemiller3650]

What changed about the host's personalities ? All the bouncing around and fake enthusiasm. It was fine the way it was. I know these guys actually enjoy working on cars, no need for the tiktok level cheese. Also, when you are putting parts back on a car alongside new parts, could you have an intern run them through a parts washer or the sandblast cabinet and maybe a rattlecan makeover? Looks unnecessarily cheap

[@amagedoncorelone]

exactly my thoughts. I hoped we were over the 2000s fake car show hosts. It was so much mor enjoyable to watch without the weird interview shots. Please go back to the calm enjoyable fabrication show we had before.

[@franciscooper.retired]

What was the point of that cloud of smoke? I'm not surprised that the environment is suffering. Please act your age and not your shoe size.

[@guapdad4000-]

You’re on the wrong page if you’re worried about some damn tire smoke Mr retired Francis cooper. Jesus yeah burnouts are causing the ozone layer to deteriorate not all the chemical plants and bullshit the government pumps out huh? Get the hell out of here you boomer.

lmao get a load of this guy

Looking good Karen. You should go live in cave away from all this horrible stuff.
