I have an 85'Blazer. The front and rear bumpers are starting to rust. I would like to replace them with heavy duty steel bumpers. Not chromed ones, can anyone point me in the right direction???

Find a local 4x4 guy that can weld, and befriend him. /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif
If that doesn't work, you might consider a KMA. My front bump (see web shots) was made by them. Some people don't like KMA... and I agree that they are slow to deliver (took about 2 months for me)... but the bumper is well-made and I like it.
just my 2 cents.

there are some great winch bumper companies out there, SEC, 4x4 armor and others, i'd look into a winch bumper personally.

I agree with jekbrown, find someone with a welder and some good metal and you have bumpers! Mine are 3" x 5" rectangular tubing with 5/16" wall thickness and some 3" channel welded to it for the bumper brackets, then its all bolted to my frame with several 1/2" Grade 5 bolts. They're tough and plus I can pick them up by myself without getting a hernia. I can also unbolt them anytime for modifications. When I get a winch, I'll weld on whatever I need to support it and the fairlead.

Let me hitch a ride on this thread...
Anybody have a rear winch bumper? I really like the KMA but i'm seeing alot of negative comments on delivery times (as previously mentioned). if anyone has a KMA rear I'd love to see some pictures. Renuel (sp?) stuff is really nice but $750 for a rear bumper is just not in my budget.

has pics of a KMA rear bump on a K5. If its not to your liking, KMA will make mods to the design of the thing, often without charge (did for me anyway!).
If the delivery time is the problem, being a little proactive via the phone would prolly get you your bump in short order. I wasn't going to be installing mine for several months when I ordered it... so the wait was not really a big deal to me.
