Exclamation Re: What bumpers do y'all have on your off roaders?

JRDV,
look at post #8 of this thread .... that's what I'm looking for! I like the built-in turn signals and just the overall scale and design I think is more 'correct' for 67-72 body styles. Offers more length out to the sides for some frontal fender protection too.

Picture #13 isn't bad either. Needs to go out to the fender sides more.

Well .... anybody has one collecting dust in the barn or garage .... give me a shout.

Thanks.

Thanks.
I will have to look for a name on it for you. I think these were dealer installed bumpers, but I don't know that for sure.

You might take some pictures to a local welder. I have had two similiar bumpers built and they cost around $800.

I was just thinkin' the other day that I hadn't seen you here for a while. What,is the ranch keeping you busy or something? Go figure. Just wanted to say,nice bumping into you. Aw jeez...corny.
Special-K, you are corny!
Yes, the ranch work has been keeping me out of the shop and off the forum.
We are having a terrible drought right now. I'm still trying to get that 383 put in my white 3/4 ton 4x4. You probably need some vacation time ( to put it in for me )!

That's what I was thinking he was looking for. They fit the Warn 8274 in them nicely. Typical foot in mouth situation, I claim to see them all over and now I can't find one. Figures.

Question Re: What bumpers do y'all have on your off roaders?

Hey Burt4x4,
is that a 'home-built' or factory built bumper on your Blazer there?

I likes that one .....

(I had a girlfriend that could stand on her head, drink beer, and spit ping-pong balls .... but that's another story altogether.)

It was made back in 1999 by KMA - Kennisaw Mountain Acc the one on the Yellow P/U is the same one..I have modifide it to fit my needs. I don't think they make them like thease two anymore...last I checked they still had a webpage..everyone who I've heard buy from them says it takes 8weeks or more to get anything...that was along time ago so??
