Front Tube/ Baja Bumpers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Please post pics of blazers with baja style/type front bumpers... They dont even have to be 1st gen i guess... i'm just looking for some ideas. I've just found one on ebay i like alot, not sure who makes it, or if it was custom made. I wonder how it would look on a 1st gen/ fit.

fabtech makes a bumper like that. I've seen one 1st gen with it on it, and i thought it was ugly. a Winch bumper looks much better in my own opinion.

Check out the cover of the latest Four-Wheeleer mag.

It's got a 1st gen on it that was built by ORU (off road unlimited)

keep an eye on craigslist if your looking for used ones. In the past couple weeks there have been some on the seattle site.

Thanks, I'm mainly going to chase with it and use it as a dunes/desert toy. Eventually I may go all out and try to make it class 3 legal.

That was probably the prototype for it that you saw. The front steering/suspension is a radius arm/panhard bar setup. Here's a link to the website of the guy that built it for me.

There are pictures and info in the Products page and the Projects page.

James, That looks sweet but if you painted that bottom portion of your outer grill the same color, it would flow awesomely.
