Looking for a beefy bumper

[Spencer2009]

blackcoffee, which Kennessaw Mtn bumper do you have?

My favorite is the kennesaw bumper man, they've really got the right idea. It's rugid, sharp edges, just looks TOUGH! Performs very well, and looks right on the obs body style for sure.

Kennesaw does have some nice stuff, especially that rear bumper. But still nothing that will work with the Cadillac front clip.

I have looked forever since i got my denali to find a replacement steel bumper, they dont make it. i found brush guards and push bars but thats it .

It says it for a '99 Yukon. The body lines look pretty similar. Do you guys think it would work? Or are the frames different?

You might try getting something like a "ranch hand." It looks like you could buy yourself a bumper for the obs, and then weld a piece of diamond plate to cover up the area where the gap between the bumper and the light bezels are. Or you could get that nbs bumper and modify it to fit. Either way, it looks like it's going to be a custom affair.

See how the nbs has that larger piece of diamond plate to cover the gap

I figure there will be at least some cutting and welding that will have to be done. My friend has the tools I would need for that. I'm looking for one that will require the least work.
After studying a shit ton of pictures on Google I think the bumper will work with the body lines of my front clip.

Now, unless I'm mistaken, these bumper mount to the frame ends where the tow hooks are. Does anybody know if the frames are different between the 1998 Tahoe/Yukons and the 1999 Tahoes and Yukons? If they're not I'm going with a bumper from Buckstop and eventually a rear bumper/tire carrier from Kennesaw.

The '99 Yukon is obs, but a lot of people list it as nbs...I think they changeover was midyear? I know for a fact the obs style '99 yukon has the same frame.

That link you posted earlier is for the nbs trucks...I have no idea if that will fit the frame-rails or not, maybe someone else will chime in.

You could always call buckstop and ask. I mean..for that kind of coin you'd think they'd have spectacular customer service.

I always thought your front end looked so sweet haha.
But hey, why the hell not get a kick ass mean bumper!

Whenever I see the front of my truck I drool.

How much did you pay for your kennesaw??

 

[blackcoffee]

$1000.00 +
