Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

SteveRoche's front bumper

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

How much farther out did the new bumper end up then the original bumper?


It doesn't stick out too much further, I never measured so I'm not sure on exact numbers but it fits perfect as far as functionality goes. I am actually thinking of adding another cross bar that bends out on a slight bend right above the fair lead welded onto the hoop thingy to protect the winch better if i drive into things.

Steve, I'm not sure you actually need a bumper but I'm sure Mike can build you one of these....

You might just need it upside down for your adventures!

hahaha don't put ideas into my head, you might see it become a reality! The new bar i will add will only go out about 3 inches to protect the fair lead since it sticks out a little bit further than the half hoop thing.
