Project: Road Warrior (lots of pics)
I think it was 100$ on ebay and if you have a 98+ blazer it bolts to the frame but if you havr a 95-97 you have to do some modification
Thanks man!! Theres still a lot to do to it. I got the next couple days off and its supposed to be really nice here so hopefully i can get a lot done.
I also got some bad news on the rims..
they are 10g out of balance because of their age and even after two attempts at balancing them they still start to shake a little once i get to 65 which wouldnt be a problem but i drive on the freeway a lot so im going to sell them and buy some cragars

Well Basically they arent round anymore and one of them is slightly bent i was told so theres not a lot i can do because they will always wobble. and it sucks because theres really no way to tell just by looking at it.
They will eventually just ruin my tires and i dont want that to happen so ill just buy new rims

Got the bumper all buttoned up today. FINALLY
Now i gotta find tube for it then maybe get the clevis mounts. So i guess its not completely done but close.

And another picture of the rims. That i wont be able to keep...

Have you checked ebay for the tubing? I have seen alot of pre bent piping on there for a do it yourself stinger bumper and others as well. Last time I looked there were alot of different options to choose from. Just a thought!
Edit: Here's a start for your search!!

Yeah thats not a bad idea, i have a 90* tube bender tho so hopefully i can do all of it myself. I just have to find a local place that doesnt want an arm and a leg for steel tube lol
Oh and you cant really tell but the bumper is bedlined in that picture

How many of the wheels are bad? Could try looking for another wheel or two. Would be less expensive. Or maybe try getting another place to try balancing them? I've heard some places are better than others and that one place may not be able to do it while another can.
One of them is slightly bent and all the others are 10g out of balance. I was thinking about taking them somewhere else to get balanced, like probably discount tire where i had the tires put on but idk if they are going to charge me again, i have to check and see if i got the lifetime balance.
