Think'n with me dipstick!
Here is my old 92 Ford Ranger. Currently waiting until spring for yet another new intake manifold gasket.
I have had it since 2007 and she was a faithful truck until 2009 when I attempted to climb a pass in Washington state known only as Bluet. For some reason that pass has been bad luck to almost everybody in my family, and it was no exception for me. I bent a valve heading up from the east to the west side and limped it all the way to Levanworth where it was then towed back to MT. I let it sit for a long time and ended up fixing it this last summer only to have it start to leak about 5 quarts of oil in 20 minutes. I replaced the rear main seal and intake manifold gasket, and yet it still leaks from there. I decided to just suspend it on my insurance and finish it in the spring and hopefully drive it for most of the summer as my DD.

Hardtrailz, i see 3 different bumpers on your trailblazer, white one, pre-runner tube and a front hitch mount, do you swap them out depending on the run or which one is current?

Actually there are four bumpers with a couple variations on some. I help the only Trailblazer fab wizard, MDB Fab, build them and some are prototypes or attempts at varioous things. Except the all tube junk one. It was my first CL "what the hell" bumper. $50 bucks wasted, cept for learning some.
The current one is the last pic, with the winch in the reciever mount. However it will likely change. It was going to have headlight protection added Sunday, but other projects came first. It will likely still recieve that. A bumper built to encompass the winch is likely going to on there as well...I think.

Also, the bottom part with the holes is a radiator skid, not part of the bumper. The skid overlaps the bottom of the bumper and the oil skid behind it which really helps to slide over stuff it probably would not survive otherwise.

I've been intered in finding a bumper just like that incoroprating a winch, for my Sport trac.. may have to have one custom made as well, since i can't find any.
