New Bumper

[96ProCompTahoe]

Installed the new bumper on the Hoe today. It looks a little different

OLD:



NEW: Kennesaw Mountain "The Wincher"

Need to start looking for a good winch to throw on it, ake a couple gap guards, and the lights should hopefully be here next week. This spring it's going to get Line-x'd along with the rockers once they get welded up.

Good looking bumper man. I'm grabbing a brush guard on Sunday for mine, kind of going for the look you had before the KMA since I can't afford a real bumper right now.

 

[96ProCompTahoe]

thanks! theres nothing wrong with the brushguards, only have the KMA because it was a decent deal, couldn't pass it up. one of these days i want to get the matching rear bumper.

hey, i don't know if blackcoffee still has his truck or not, but if he does he may be able to cut you a deal if he's willing to part with any of his stuff

That's his old bumper off the tahoe. Don't think there was much on it that wouldn't have to go with the truck to be able to sell it.

i see i see. looks good though man. sometimes i wish mine was a big bad a$$ 4x4 too, but i know i'd be constantly breaking stuff from doing things i really shouldn't be doing with a daily driver. but i do like your truck, you've really done some tasteful mods imho and got a really good looking rig. makes my '99 with old school 15" centerlines and balloon tires look sterile in comparison. you and bowtiefreak and there's one more i'm forgetting their username that have some really good looking 4x4 rigs. i know there's more, but those 2 or 3 really stand out to me. keep it up. hopefully mine'll be worth posting pics of one day.

cows, deer, people, whatever else gets in the way.... haha j/p

around 160 pounds. probably not too much more than that stock bumper, 4 brackets, hardware, and brushguard that came off of it.

******** that looks good on your truck. Like ******** it looks 10x better on yours then it did on mine, I guess its your stance/tires. Holy shit... Why didn't I lift my 2 door and throw bigger tires on it?! Knocks head through the wall.

Let me just tell you guys. There is nothing, no other vehicle looks wise that you will buy that in my mind will compare to a 2 door tahoe.

That looks really cool! I'm excited to get one for mine next year when I graduate school. How far does it stick out from the grille? How much over the stock bumper/brush catcher setup? What about the approach angle where the number plate would go? I'm just trying to figure out if it's one that I would want to go for.

looks real good man! i love it. saw a hoe this weeknd with front and rear bumper lookd like road armor maybe dont know which but it lookd beef like urs. i want some all mine are bent. i found this push bar in jy i think it makes mine look lil meaner from front

 

[96ProCompTahoe]

noJeepshere-
it sticks out a good bit to accommodate the winch, guessing 10-12 inches from the bottom grill trim maybe. can get you actually measurements if you want, as the others I'd just be guessing on. put it on in a hurry (by myself... don't plan on doing that again...) so not much comparison. stock bumper and guard are gone, so no measurements off of them.

big blue-
push bar looks pretty good. do you have it tied to the truck in the pictures? ha ha


finally got my ass around to mounting my Day lighters and the explorer lights in it. wiring is sort of hacked together for the winter, to cold to do much with the stiff wire and brittle connectors now. need to weld up some better mounts for the day lighters and I'm not fond of the way the explorers are mounted in it.

Damn! You already know this, but your truck is awesome. The "Wincher" bumper looks really good on there. Makes your truck look like you could take down small buildings and plow through other vehicles with not so much as a scratch, haha. I've peeked around the KMA website a bit and they make some really nice bumpers. Anyways, as always, nice truck dude.

yea it was haha but ive got diesel bumper on it now so no push bar... i want a bumper like urs but dont knot if id work with 3inch body lift
