Default Looking for a company for parts.....

Hello all,
I'm new to this site, and thought i'd check it out.
Basically i'm looking for a company that makes trail gear for blazers. My primary interest lies in bash rails, custom tube bumpers, and skid plates. I can't seem to find anywhere that makes much of anything for blazers. Everything is Jeep Jeep Jeep. I have a buddy who does custom fab work, but i'm looking for somewhere to buy.

Any ideas?
Thanks everyone.

I don't know anyone that makes bumpers or rock sliders. The demand for blazer parts like that isn't that high. A lot of guys have built their own stuff on here though. There's also a list of websites to check out its a sticky in the lounge I think.

I understand the convenience of buying parts and doing
"bolt-ons" saves time and trouble (hopefully). But here's a thought for you, if you make/build it yourself of help with it you know exactly what to do when/if it breaks. It will also be really cool when someone sees it and asks "where'd that come from" and you can honestly say "I made it"!!!
Think about it and have a good one.

they don't make that kind of stuff for blazers unfortunately, and if you see a blazer with that stuff its custom. they don't even make a big selection of lifts for them either, blazers really weren't meant to do a lot of off roading like a jeep or a land rover thats why there is a lack of accessories for off roading. if you're looking to wheel hard be ready to replace ALOT of front end parts

lol yep a blazer was built to be a family suv that can drive to a hunting camp or fishing spot not rock crawling and mudding... so if you're looking for something like that I wouldn't drop all the money into a blazer to make it an off road monster, I only did it because I was 17 and just kept adding things, I'm almost at the point to do a solid axle swap, but if I had to do it again I would have saved myself the time and money and got a jeep... so if you're looking for an off road monster get a jeep, land rover, toyota, or an older full size
