Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Mikes first winch bumper.

Any special projects involving a decent amount of fab work (bumpers, sliders, roof racks, etc)

If you give me dimensions of the stinger-ish thing you want, I can bend up a piece and ship it to you...

:shock:

So... remember those times I said I'd bend tube for you for close to the price of the tube? I pay like $50 for 20' of 1.75x.120 HREW...

I still can, if you give me the measurements...

ETA: It really doesn't look bad, but would look better with bent tube, rather than mitered...

:Iagree: I like it, but I think the middle 'stinger' piece would look 10x better if it was bent. The 'wings' that go under the lights look pretty good. Can't wait to check it out in person. And I wish I had a winch... TB is looking good.

Mike you can't be serious! That looks like ASS! Looks like the bars are going to block most of the light output of the head lights the squared off lines of the bars don't follow any of the lines of the truck. What a shame to do to such a nice winch bumper!

I've seen miter cut bumpers that don't look bad.... but IMO they should be done in square tube.

Personally I would take Mike up on his offer.
11 Silverado LTZ - 6.2L/6l80, 2/3 drop, self tuned
85 Hilux - 3RZ, dual cases, caged, 40s, chromo everything
02 TrailBlazer LTZ - 35s, lockers, balls - Gone but not forgotten - Build
