DWeiler, if your truck goes missing.... I didnt take it ok??

 

Its MIA from my place right now----to many friggin vehicles at the house so i sent it out to the in-law place to store in one of their shops until i sell my 02 Trailblazer.Then she will come home for me to enjoy----kinda miss it cause i haven't driven it since mid NOV.DW PS what kinda coin are they asking for the alternative bumpers to "Road Armor"---ballpark??????.

 

Jekyl...or if anyone else could answer this?

If my bumper is powder coated already, would it be a bad idea to line x over top or does it have to be sand blasted before getting line x'd. I just dont want to pay to get it sand blasted if possible. If this is a strange idea go ahead and whack me lol..

Brian at Line-X could probable give you a straight answer---no need on spend the coin if not needed.DW

 

I've been search around for some heavy duty tubuar bumpers. They look easy to build and are hopefully are cheaper. I saw a bumper build-up on TV once, not the fancy ones like you're guys. Too fancy I would be scared to use it to push things and pull stuff into/out of the ditch. I'm also looking for a bumper with a front receiver in it for pulling trailers.

 

Mike, when I get home I have a link with measurements so you can build yourself one thats very similar to above. Its an old link - hopefully its still alive.

 

the line-x guy in NE calgary said that the product sticks to powdercoat VERY well. he recommended it over bare metal (if already powdercoated) because of all the prep that would go into spraying bare metal - i could be wrong but i beleive he said there would be 2-3 hrs of prep work prior to spraying. so if you can have it powdercoated cheaper than 2-3 hrs worth of work at line-x . . . . get it powdercoated or leave it powdercoated if already done. don't qoute me on this - quote the guy at line-x in NE calgary.

 

hey guys,

so i called boulder metals today to see about the pics they were supposed to send me. must have been an issue with one of our emails because they sent me one right away today. i don't know if this is the only style they make or not but here it is:

 

Yeah it's already powder coated, it's the one in my pic's. Ill call the line x guy in my home town to see what he has to say. Thanks for the help guys. Actually im going to be in Okotoks for the week so maybe ill just call that guy and see. Had some troubles with my truck today, after a 300km trip with no problems, my truck started to sputter and i had no throttle response. Checked filter "air and fuel" both looked good. Chip told me it was a injecter circut malfunction. shut it down and started it up and then no issue's, so put it back to stock and drove from brooks okotoks with no issue's. any idea's, i know i should have started a new thread sorry for the killing the bumper theme.


Chad...

 

This is for the second gen guys that are welders:

You could save yourself a lot of money if you have the skills and time.

 

wow! what valuable links, those are awesome - thanx dr!

 

Wow, thanks budy, its only time right.

 

With a little tweaking, Im sure it would work on the third gens as well.

 

i sent an email to donavan (armor inc) in red deer in regards to the bullet proof bumper for 2nd gens. he sent me an email back with great pics. if anyone is interested just pm me your email address and i will forward it . . .

jason
