Mines not a bull bar, a grille guard without the light guards. Tough finding a guard that mounts to the frame with a 1st gen 3" BL on a 2nd gen blazer lol.

True, true. I got my brushguard that mounts onto the frame from the junk yard for like $25. I'm looking in to getting the 1st gen 3" body lift for my blaze. I want to maintain my guard though so idk what to do about the bumper brackets...

Bull Bars are nice but you're also limited on the size of lights you can put in them if you go that route.
You have to make sure the OD of the light will fit inside them ON THEIR MOUNTS! Don't just go by what the manufacturer says the OD is.
Bad experience there lol

put a new front hub on today....and while it was less then 1year since i put it on, axle of dearborn on ebay stood behind there product and sent me a new one for free...so i will say that i would recommend them based on price and service....i am probably a little rough on hubs with the 33's anyway. my two cents....

and rottidog...very nice job on the guard...looks great.
i am not a fan of the light guards myself.

Floored it from a stoplight (my lane was ending and I didn't want to get stuck behind a mini van) and noticed some smoke from the tail pipe. Hopefully it's the truck running rich and not oil blow by.

Thanks Jared... I like the looks of it, just wish I'd have found one that bolts directly to the frame like yours. But it bolts to the bumper right at the frame so it's not too bad I suppose.

Today I added oil AGAIN. then looked into removing my inner fender wells. Why? weight reduction. I dont care if my engine bay is clean. I have this thing on a huge diet.

John,what did you order from rock auto?
