Heh, that's hilarious... a baboon!

A mandrel is a lead roller (in this instance) that prevents deformation of the material you're bending.

I hope their customer service has changed.

Google Kennesaw Mountain.

I ordered a bumper from them about 7 years ago. The quality was miserable and they did half of what I ordered.

Kurt, have you considered fabing that hidden framework up and selling them? I'd be first in line! That setup would be so cool for my resto plans, but I don't have your skills. Keep up the good work!

This truck is awesome!! If I could pick your brain and get some details that would be tremendous help. You have inspired me to put time and effort into a winch behind the stock bumper on my 68.

Are you talking about VT Blazer's blue Blazer? He bought that from Grendel (Former Member) who built it. It has a Ford Dana60 front axle and the trans is a TH400. Those are the things that stood out to me. It had 37/12.50-16.5 Swamper SSRs that I bought, when he put 42s on. He used that on a lot of trails and it did quite well.

Hiya boyz!
Tim you’ve got a great memory!

That blazer ended up being a beast on the trails, John began the build and having a good platform to start from, I cut/welded/massaged & added a ton more mods to finish it up and go have some fun.
