Looking good! I used to have a white 4 door Jimmy. I do miss the practicality of 4 doors, especially with 3 kids lol.

It really depends on what you're looking for, how much you're willing to spend, and if you want to mount a winch. Personally, I think the full bumper replacements are too bulky and weigh too much. Plus they are a minimum of $500. If you are just wanting a little more front end protection and somewhere to mount a few off road lights, I'd recommend a brush guard. There are much less and you can typically find one on Facebook or Craigslist for around the $100 mark. Now, if you want to mount a winch, you either have to buy a full bumper that can hold one, a hidden winch plate, or a Warn Trans4mer brush guard. I found one on Facebook that I previously had on and it they guy claimed it would fit an S10. Well it was about the correct width but I had to make my own brackets to mount it.

Thanks! I'm really happy with the stance.

Unless you get a really good deal on it, I'd be careful. It may require a lot of work and a lot of cutting to make it fit, and it still may not look completely right

The price is $165, mods and material might come to 400. Custom bumpers for our blazers are usually 500+ , that not including shipping too

Minor update:
Removed the rear tire carrier because it was clunking pretty bad. Mounted the tire on the roof rack and placed the antenna in the tire carrier mount. Tire may be a bit harder to get to but I can see better out of the back and the trunk space is more accessible.
Wired in 3 LED amber running lights.
