Default junkyard brushguard, only 30$

so i decieded to go to taht amazing and awsome placed called a junkyard, and i saw a 2nd gen, 2 dr blazer with a brush guard, so afther getting on my hands and knees and cutting up my arms and hands to remove it, i got it off, and it had 1 light still on it, and i got it for $30 including a few replacment switches

it dose need some sand blasting and repainting which we are doing this saturday, but this is it

lol, almost all the rust is gone now, we are using metal filler to fill in the holes from the rust which are minimal, an we are using an oxy tourch to bend one side back

Nice find. Too bad all the 2nd Gen's here are always stripped.

i found a good set of black leather heated seats to, it was almost hidden from view, the backs seats where almost like from factory good, the passanger had a very small tear, but the drivers was ripped up, it was a gmc jimmy


we do have to use a cutoff wheel to get it to fit right, becasue it sticks out a little to far

lol i was searching for a pic of it and atacks came up

this is what i got it off of, only the one i got it off of was light blue(NON ZR2)

Nice find on the brushguard. Looks almost like a Hunter Offroad brushguard by the design of the mounts. Irregardless, for $30 and a little TLC and paint to freshen it up, thats a heck of a steal. Very sharp.

Here all you do is pay a dollar to go into the yard, bring your own tools and your set.
