i dont really have the space for it, so many cars at my place theres currently one on the side of the house lol

 

no worries, i'm in the same boat. more cars than people and drive way looks like used car dealership.

 

I had the same bolt strip on my '00 (Im a few hours north of both of you's) I used this kit from cnd tire..

As for the front valance, I had to trim mine down quite a bit to fit my tow hooks, ended up just removing the valance and throwing a Warn Trans4mer bush guard on 'er. My rear bumper has a 2" gap, I didn't bother re-drilling out the bumper relocation thing..

not to intrude but was wondering if a hunter brush guard would work with a 2nd gen 2"BL.

 

I still gotta trim to get my tow hooks in and I need to remove 1 of the bolts as the head snapped off(prob weld a nut on)

Tmm I'm not sure what bullbar I have but it came off a blazer with a PA 2" BL and the mounts to the frame needed to be modded abit to work, I can take a pic of the mount but not on the truck as I need some longer bumper bolts to put it on mine

 

I have the hitch that came with the blazer from the factory, so i wonder how that will look after i put my BL on. It probably tucks up behind the bumper 2 inches so it shouldnt look to bad i dont think.
