Re: 73-87 4x4s
I love your Jimmy Tim! That is the exact next project I want to build right down to the color too! If you ever decide to unload it let me know.

Re: 73-87 4x4s
My memory is failing me right now, but those pics are from the website for the company that sells the bumpers. There was a link on this site at one time. I think the thread was about brush guards or ranch hand type bumpers for these trucks.

Re: 73-87 4x4s
Yes, it would fit in CO quite well although it looks pretty smug at that there lake back East. That is so ironic that I have been dreaming of a diesel powered stripped Blazer/Jimmy in Tan or White solid paint for a while and you have been hording one all along. I can just see a Banks Sidewinder Turbo kit, Bushwacker cutout flares and a NV4500 swap for that Jimmy of yours. Wait, is that a 9.5 semi-float rear axle in there? If so….the deal is off.

Re: 73-87 4x4s
Bradley...I had just come across their site not long ago,then saw those in the thread and someone asking about them. Nice bumpers but too pricey for me. I'll make my own. They will be 2 x 6 tube w/o all that angular stuff underneath. A lot less massive.

Re: 73-87 4x4s
I agree Tim, $2K for a few pieces of steel? Spend a few hours making a design, then have a local welder weld the pieces together if you cant weld.

Re: 73-87 4x4s
I would much rather buy one of these less than half the price http://tacticalarmorgroup.com/TAGSto...3/Default.aspx and they also make rear bumpers with an optional tire carrier

Re: 73-87 4x4s
I believe Medusa was splashed with hot liquid chrome and immediately threw up from the shock then Boreas(Greek god of north wind)froze her there with her puke. Which was then found near the frozen Mammoth still eating. Which was bought by the man who owns this truck. The truck's name is Cold Ralph.
Like my explanation?

Re: 73-87 4x4s
just picked up this 77 shortbox. 90k original miles. 350ci/th350/np203/3.73. Truck has original paint but is faded. No real rust to speak of other than a little on passenger side fender behind tire. Floors, corners, rockers, and box is super nice. Right now it has 33/12.50's with no lift. I ordered a 4 inch lift and bought a used set of 35's for now... enjoy
