i picked up the 9000lb for $175, they had it on clearance at 200 but talked them down cause the remote was gone... i dont use it anyways cause i hardwire my winches to the truck

i couldnt pass that up. so now the 8000 stays on the trailer and this one stays on the s10

PJ, no i found a place in PA. called Logans Metal Products, the mostly do the jeep bumpers, but started on the S series, so i called them and it cost $491 shipped to Va. construction is top notch, im having the company custom make some filler pieces for the lower headlight, im not liking the gap, this bumper is made for the Blazer not a Jimmy, so a little custom work is needed, but i do like
