Welcome to page two...

Nice job! Looks like a pre-runner.
Ya gonna wheel is hard? Why not a SOA lift instead of the shackles? How much height can you get from the torsion bars on these rigs?
Then you can mount some beastly rubber to it too!

Yeah, he wheels it hard lol...the bumpers are new because he's torn two off the rear (one he fabbed up from a (H)Jeep bumper) and had demolished the front one. It's pretty much at the limit up front without destroying the ball joints and CV's every 3000 miles lol. It is his daily driver, so MPG's come before lift =P

I keep feeding, watering, and fertilizing mine; hopefully one day it might grow up to be like Blazinator!Seriously, those bumpers are slick. I want a set. How come he hasn't made you a set? (Not trying to start a family war.)

Because I'm too broke to buy the materials. Also, he just moved his welder closer to "home". It has been at my parent's house (6 hour drive from me) until this past weekend.

So maybe some new bumpers might be in the future for Blaze? IMO it would look real good. Understand the finances issue.

Hopefully. We already have a few plans. Nothing fancy.
