Money:
I know a lot of folks don't have the money to just pony up with 1 paycheck's notice. I'd rather get most of these done as a GB, and would rather you get the GB price on these, so if you can't pony up the whole amount in the next 2 weeks, I can take a $100 deposit per piece (i.e, $100 for just bumper, $100 for just rad skid, $200 deposit for bumper + rad skid) in these 2 weeks, then you can pay in the month to 6 weeks following, before I ship them… PM me with any money or payment questions or requests, and we'll see what we can work out. I can take Paypal, Money Order, or Cashier's Check made out to Michael Barton. PM me for my Paypal address.
Shipping:
Some of you are working out, or will work out shipping to TECORE with one of us from around here, for a small fee. Shipping will be on a case-by-case basis. I will need your zip code for shipping. This should probably be done by PM. Also, please note whether it would have to come via UPS/Fedex, or if you can get it shipped to work via pallet/truck shipping… Won't save you any shipping on just a radiator skid, though.
Bumpers:
These are "For Off-Road Use Only" because they are not crash tested or anything, just like any other aftermarket bumper... If you want to run them on the street, that's your business.Bumpers come with several options, and can mainly be divided into "stock" and "body lift".
Stock body-to-frame bumpers are $350 + shipping as shown, and 3" body lift bumpers are $375 + shipping as shown. Price adjusters include:
Body-blending "wings" - $25
2" receiver hitch - $50
No shackle mounts - Minus $25
Things to note:
For both bumpers, you will need to grind the top of the bumper-bolt sleeve in the frame to be flush with the top of the frame. This provides a steadier mounting surface, and stops the bumper from being able to tip. If you need to go back to stock, you can just put (2) 1/2" washers on top of the frame right there, and your stock bumper support will go right back on.
The bumper uses your stock mounting bolts, but since the tow hooks replace the nuts on the stock bumper, I'll include nuts.
These are not yet available for Envoys or the '07+ LT versions with the grill that extends below the headlights.
Paint: These come painted in the black / dark grey Rustoleum "hammer finish" brush-on paint… It may or may not look that great. If you don't want it painted (i.e., you want it a different color, etc., and are going to paint it yourself, or modify it in some way), let me know this.

Radiator Skids:
The radiator skids come in 2 versions… Both are $260 + shipping... The later ('04+?) Trailblazers have the front anti-roll bar going through the frame, so they can take the radiator skid as shown below. The early Trailblazers and Envoys have the anti-roll bar in front of the IFS subframe, which means the rad skid will be missing the horizontal top tabs that mount directly to the frame, as there is no room. If you have an early 360/370 and have taken your anti-roll bar out, you can get the slightly stronger, later model version. Just let me know this.
There is a $20 adder for the radiator skid being able to take stock tow hooks, if you're going to keep your stock bumper cover, and not get one of my bumpers. You will have to cut around the stock tow hook inner mounting bolt hole in your bumper cover, because there is a piece of sheet metal sticking up right there, for mounting the tow hook. The stock tow hooks also require taking out some material along the edges of the front section of the rad plate, and therefore make the plate slightly weaker… If you plan on keeping your stock bumper, like I say, this is acceptable, and about the only way to get front tow points. If you're getting one of my bumpers, then I suggest not getting this option.
The bumper is compatible with 3" body lift with stock bumper cover, as well as my 3" body lift bumper.
Paint: These come painted in the black / dark grey Rustoleum "hammer finish" brush-on paint… It may or may not look that great. If you don't want it painted, I can take off $10. Let me know this.
Bolt head protectors are a $10 adder for the rear (2) bolts.
These come with all the mounting hardware.
If you've already got one of my oil pan skids with the lip on the front, you'll need to remove that lip to be able to easily remove the oil pan skid without dropping the rad plate.

Oil Pan Skids:
You've seen 'em… You've maybe/probably got 'em… In case you don't, they are $165 shipped in the CONUS… If you get all 3 and get them pallet shipped, take $20 shipping off of that price, and whatever it adds to group shipping will be added to your pallet shipping cost...
If you are going to also get the radiator skid, let me know, and I'll take off the front lip… This will make it easier to change the oil by allowing you to just slide the oil pan plate back and out, instead of having to drop the rad plate, as well.
Bolt protectors are a $20 adder for all 4, but if you're getting the radiator skid, you'll only want the rear (2), as the front (2) will be on the rad skid. If you're getting the rad skid, the rear (2) bolt head protectors are a $10 adder.

Thanks,
