Google Kenesaw Mountain Bumpers (sp?). They make them. I have front and rear on my '72 K5. They are great looking, but workmanship is just ok. Paint job sucked and was rubbing off when they arrived and I had to improve the mount to the frame for it to be strong enough to withstand a real winch pull. But, beggers can't be choosers when we have Gen 1's.

You could probably get a set built local for less money then it would take to get stuff built and shipped in. I have a buddy that does fab work that could probably build you a set. He has some pretty good fab skills and can build them to suit what your looking for most likely. The best part is he lives on the westside of Phoenix too.

He hangs out over on www.locooffroad.com too. It is a local AZ board and you can get ahold of him through there if you want.

Tell him Harley sent you.

thanks for the info. i am a ways off from that type of stuff... just trying to get some ideas. the offroad section in your buddy's site, where are they wheelin'? it looks like fun... Three hour tour?

I think the one he is calling 3hr tour is off Happy Valley Road north of town a little ways. Most of the rest look like Table Mesa Road with a little White Tanks sprinkled in.

I used to have to drive for an hour to get to Hollister Hills S.V.R.A. (where they hold top truck challenge) and now there are trails sooo close to the house.... if only the buggy was feelin better
