I don't suppose you would like to share your build plans? That is probably the best bumper I have seen on a ZR2!

Thanks, but I can't take full credit for it because I totally cheated. I hacked up an old full-size Chevy bumper and combined it with some other parts, then made the grille hoop for it. So it really isn't from scratch (though it barely resembles what it came from).

I had a rear tube bumper at one point off a Wrangler that I snagged from a salvage yard that I planned to do just that with. Thought it would look neat on the front of the Blazer.

Ended up going a different route as you can see above lol

It looked very similar to this bumper, minus the tire carrier, and it was a little taller I believe.







Might have been this one from Rugged Ridge...
