Pre-runner bumper for my blazer
This is a PreRunner style front bumper for my 99' BlaZeR2 (blazer zr2)
Used 1/4" thick 2" wide piping (1.5" inside diameter), angle iron, and a bit of flat iron~ and LOTS of 4" cutoff wheels.
The frame will bend before this bumper bends
Yea, it's welded straight to the frame, but it doesn't hinder or get in the way of anything. Front approach angle is still just as high.
I used a Mig welder, and a 12 ton hydraulic jack pipe bender (ebay $100)
$50 in supplies and 10hrs of man labor later~~~ presto!
Still needs to be painted~ (will do on sat night) an then i'll get some daytime shots of it~
[/i]
My dad's jeep also infuenced some ideas.
You guys think i should put the yellow fog lamps on the front bar?

This spring is the 5.7 Vortec swap.
The 4.3 v6 @ 260ft/lbs isn't enough... I like 355ft/lbs @3600rpm
