This dude lives right down the road from my mom. Even though the ad says it's been sitting for 1 1/2 years the truck was parked there when I was in high school 4 years ago. Kinda cool, totally useless. It's actually good fab work and a nice body though, not a hack.

that thing looks like a fun offroad toy. and you could buy that sucker cheaper than you can build one yourself.

bout 10 years ago when I was 4x'in my old 81 subaru, I saw a pretty bada$$ K-5 blazer.

was runnin 44's, had a full roll cage, roll cage on the engine too. 5 ton axles, and a built and turbo'ed 427ci chebby engine that sounded pretty mean.

Just curious, but what is the difference between my bumper and a sport bumper?

The Sport front bumper has a cover that is color coded to the truck.

Any way of converting mine? Or would I have to get a whole bumper?


Only doing this if I decide against my steel bumper..

That is wrong info about the sport bumper.

The 94-98 sport models had the same metal bumper with the upper and lower trim pieces, but all of it was color coded (metal was painted) to match the color of the truck. Grill was also color matched.



99-02 sport models used a fully plastic bumper that was shaped differently, and had a model specific color matched grill that fit with only the sport bumper.

Yeah, the info I found covered the 99-02 Sport models.
