new look

[the big blue bus]

i decranked after i got the 1.5 cuz i didnt have block but i have block comming now and i just recranked it. all i need is the 1.5 inches. the steering was loose last night before i cranked. its pulled to right for a while i think idler arm is bad thats where im gettin the play in it. ill wait till breaks over and change it in shop class and get alignment then too since thats what we are doing right now in class. perfect time eh haha. anyone know what size the nuts that hold on u bolts are? are they 3/4 or what?

the lmc bumper is pretty good for made in tawian. bottome edge is kinda scratchy looking and if you notice the bumper almost smiles and is higer on sides but that might be my brackets and it was too cold to mess with it all that much. its was only 150 for the bumper if you found a gm bumper id prob fit better which was what i was looking for but never found one for sale locally

added picture of the front cranked and rear on jack raised 2 inches. you can kinda see my whip on bumper

I'm digging the diesel bumper! You might be fooling some of the true diesel guys though....GM never made a diesel 4 door Tahoe! Some guys will probably be scratching their heads when they see you drive down the road. "Is that a diesel?"

Are you going to put some lights in the air intake holes?

Looks good, I've been wanting to get the same bumper but was unsure of the quality of LMC's stuff.

the lmc bumper is pretty good for made in tawian. bottome edge is kinda scratchy looking and if you notice the bumper almost smiles and is higer on sides but that might be my brackets and it was too cold to mess with it all that much.

LMC makes 2 series of bumpers....Premium Chrome or Regular Chrome (or primer). Quite a bit of difference on paper, details are here..

Big blue, do you know if your bumper is the premium or regular line?

 

[the big blue bus]

it was 150 so im guessing the cheaper one

 

[TahoeJim]

Looks plenty good from the pics, I may order the less expensive one too this coming Spring.

its plenty good for mine. mines to show truck haha ive got so many scratches dings etc a bumper thats a tiny bit off doesnt bother me. the bottome edge is kinda poor finish but you dont see it so it doesnt bother me and this bumpers wayt better than the dented up one i had so im happy

anyone know good place to get cheap rear bumper? i want to get a good one and do this...

other than buying a new cheap one, junk yard or craigslist. BUT good luck finding one thats not rusted in pieces.
