Looks great. That front bumper--the dimensions look a little different. Other then the vents and fogs. I can't quite place my finger on it. Maybe it's shorter then stock?

Tbh I am ignorant to what is stock GMC on it and what has been changed ie: the Tahoe grill.
Bumper may have been changed.

Is a well travelled unit.
Definitely" BORN IN THE U.S.A
Been to Japan, now living in New Zealand
Who knows where else it's been!?

I found a rear bumper at a wrecker the other day off a 94 Sierra. Perfect match to mine so are they generic?
He wanted 500 bucks for it! So he can keep it! Much better condition than mine but Wth?!!
Rare Spares....A greedy little man with shit that I want lol [emoji849][emoji110][emoji869]

Not really sure about the bumper--but $500?? That's just being greedy imo--although it is an import for you guys. What would a new cost if you had it shipped to you?

Yeah it was a frontal write off.
Looked like tree or post.

The business/owner is notorious for wanting to own people on anything he has for sale. No mates in his game. If you know him he'll charge for the privilege. Reknaw¿ [emoji108]

Still tho,talking to him the other day he is bringing containers in on sea freight and quoted me around 800 for ****** headers which is about the same as other businesses over here.

That's why I'm keen to work with what I have around me. [emoji106]

Damn. Being in the US spoiled me. $800 for ****** headers? I know people are in it to make money, but DAMN!

I know mate. I am always looking for a second hand set if I can get and just have them blasted and ceramic coated. That is still 400 for that.

If you can get a sweet ride together here I think you respect it more because it honestly cost you a shit tonne to do it ayy!

I'll even piece an exhaust if I can even tho I think I'll save for mandrel bent stainless.
Mean sounding [emoji110]

Hi
Been a few weeks and I've finally found a minute to do some stuff.
Today I'm getting the spotlights in the bumper going.

Have refurbished them recently while painting the grill and bowtie.
Git the whole deal back together to realise lights dont work.[emoji849] So pulled to pieces again.
