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~

My dad's jeep also infuenced some ideas.


You guys think i should put the yellow fog lamps on the front bar?

 

looks good.
ditch the yellow fogs.
get a winch, everythings cooler with a winch

 

Looks good but I do agree with him ditch the light and which it up.

 

looks decent

should have thrown a straight axle under that bitch, ---- IFS...

 

That's comming next summer... Until then, i deal with my quick disconnect sway bar mod. (wing nuts on the sway bar end links)

This spring is the 5.7 Vortec swap.

The 4.3 v6 @ 260ft/lbs isn't enough... I like 355ft/lbs @3600rpm

 

How thick is the frame rail?

 

Looks great. I may do a tubular on the XJ.

 

chevy ifs = gargabe, swap in some yoda front pinnings

 

First thing that came to mind when I saw the pics.

 

Love the R motor swaps in those things. It looks so at home in the engine bay. :P
