Hello everyone

I finally made my way over here after jumping around from trailvoy to gmtnation.
I got rid of my 1998 K1500 Z71 with a 6.5TD and replaced it with a 2003 Trailblazer.
So far I'm liking it but they just seem to need a bit more off road capability. A diesel engine
would be nice in one of these too.

I have one question for all of those with aftermarket bumpers.

Is TAG the only company producing off road bumpers for Trailblazers?

And with a bit of research you might find that TAG used to be called Kennesaw Mountain Accessories or something and had many horrible reviews of late deliveries, substandard quality, and low levels of customer service courtesy.

Conclusion - get bumpers and underbody armor from Mike Barton. :excited:

I have a Kennesaw bumper, from before Mike was making bumpers. It's a solid bumper, but if I did it again I'd save $900 and get one from Mike.
