Trailblazer & WAAG Update w/Pics

pdqgp · September 1, 2002

Well, I installed a few items starting with the rear tail light gaurds that are pretty heavy steel and as all the items, powder coated in satin finish black. They mount to the two screws visible once the hatch is up. Just pop them out and mount the guards in place. There is a small adhesive hinged brace that mounts to the outside lens on the side. Not noticable at all and does the trick at firming them up. I'm not sure I love the look, but it will all really come together once the side tubes are in place.

It took about 3hrs for the front and back. The front had some alignment and machining issues witht the the brackets under the front that set us back about 1hr. No big deal and since every truck is just slightly different, I expect it's a common thing.

Unfortunately WAAG sent me the wrong brackets to mount the side tubes. The tubes are correct and look to be good, but the brackets don't match up at all. I'll have to get with them on Tuesday and perhaps by next weekend or so I'll have those on. They are easy. The stock running boards have four mounts. Each mount has a stud in the frame to hang them from thus making installation easy for one person. The other three bolts just screw into the threads that are also part of the frame. The WAAG system only has two brackets needed and they mount pretty easily too....once the correct brackets are in hand that is. I'll be selling the stock running boards once the tubes are in place.

Here are some pics of the Accessories in Place:
