Got my winch mounted : )
 

Well my blazer now has a new to it tabor 9000# winch. this was a winch from my old truck and I finally had a couple good shop students worthy of the project in the welding shy original Idea was to mount it underneath, but I lost to much ground clearance with it, so it went up front. I am pretty certain that before next fall the control box will be moved under the hood, but with Moab this weekend on its way there just is not enough time...

I was worried it would look real bulky up front, but it turned out nice. there are three bolts on each side holding the bumper to the frame and the majority of the frame has been reinforced with extra plate. So tell me what you think. the mounting plate was originally for a Cj7, but since it was sitting aroound the shop collecting dust it was used instead of creating a whole new plate. Now I need to add some lights.

What do you think? Does it look good? I am happy with it...

Now a few more minor things, like my new tires on it and we are off to Moab. I will also have my jeep...

wow! what a beautiful blazer with a beautiful background!
lights would look good, maybe something like a skid plate up front?? thinking?? not exactly sure but something up front. perhaps something with a color contrast.

The photo doesn't show it but the colors are very close, your photo looks just like the color of mine. When I saw your photo I really was struck as I have not seen another one the same shade of green as mine.

Winch looks good BTW.

Yep pretty close and I will someday have a cage in it as well. I really like the color. The paint is about 8 year old now, maybe older, painted by previous owner. Up close it is all cracked up and will require a new paint job some day. I am guessing they used too much hardner in the paint.

Ok time to get off this stupid computer and get ready for my Moab trip...

I think the bumper looks good, but mounted too high. I understand wanting the extra clearance though. The color does look good on both trucks btw.

Have fun in Moab.
