This is a question for the machinists and fab guys, I really want a Road Armor style bumper, but theres no one in my area that I know of to create a custom one. My question is would it be too difficult to mod a Winch Ready bumper like this http://www.truckaddons.com/Catalog/subpages/winch-ready-bumpers-chevy-gmc.htm (I want the 00-02 Silverado No Guard option) to fit my Envoy?

If its too difficult could anyone slip me some ideas so I could instruct a machinist to create one for me

I can get you one of my standard bumpers with a 2" receiver in the middle of it, for $425 + shipping, or I can make you a "winch bumper" that'll hold a winch inside it, for a bit more... I'm starting the prototype of that one in the next week or 2...

This thread for prototype winch bumper: http://forums.offroadtb.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=1632

The winch will actually be farther down in the bumper than it is in the models, there...

ETA: Crap, I just saw that you have an Envoy... Those are for Trailblazers, and I haven't been able to get anybody with a non-body-lifted Envoy that's close to me to order a prototype; so I don't make Envoy bumpers yet, really...

As of a couple months ago, KMA (now "tactical Armor Group" or something) makes an Envoy bumper that holds a winch: http://www.tacticalarmorgroup.com/T...ore/TAGStore/tabid/71/CategoryID/171/List/1/Level/a/ProductID/1803/Default.aspx

But that Wincher is a great find, Im grabbing that asap :D

I don't do this for a living, so my lead times are long; but I'll warn you that you will be paying for the Wincher ASAP, but their lead times are, as Bill says, "legendary" in the off road industry... I haven't heard of anybody longer than 6 months, but I gather 1-3 months is typical...
