So i hit two deer this weekend and kinda messed my bumper up. Thank god they where small deer or else id be replacing the whole front end. Does anyone have a aftermarket bumper on there truck and if so what is the brand and can i see a picture? Thanks Jeremiah
thats just it i dont know, Some i like the bumper/grill gaurd and others i dont. There are some i like just the bumper. That is why i was asking for some pics and what people suggest. I googled and didnt find a whole lot of options
Depending on what style you want there are MANY different options. Ranch hand, road armor, herd, buck stop, or my personal favorite by Ironbull, the black ops bumper. just search on google for front end replacement bumpers. check out this link http://ironbullbumpers.com/blackopsbumpers/ford.html
mines road rhino , they are made in illinois , the guy ships super resonable , i can get more pics but i have my lights almost installed , i love my bumpers , i got front and rear powerdercoated and prerunner bar for just under what a name brand one would be , same quality , but as stated in other post several styles and brand to look at , ive got ridgid lights im going to install for the 4 opening and my winch
I'm gonna put another vote in for the Buckstop Bumpers! I had the same thing happen to me 2 weeks after I got the truck straight from the factory! Drilled a big Mule Deer with the truck which ruined the stock bumper. Ordered a Buckstop from there shop in Oregon and couldn't be happier. Great, strong bumper and I can take off the brush guard if I want. Was leery of the removable brush guard but its strong as hell! Ill post pics later when I get to my computer.
I can vouch for the strength of ali arc bumpers. I smoked a decent sized deer going 120 km an hour( about 75 mph). The impact was mostly on the passenger side. There was no damage to the Ali arc. It sure was hell trying to clean the front of the truck.
Granted those are all very nice bumpers and designs but, they are all similar and plain. Ali arc is the only odd ball listed beside that black ops bumper. Not everyone wants to look like 10,000 other trucks in their state/province with a plain jane bumper. Just my opinion though
Tough Country has bumpers and grille guards too. Some are even winch ready. The grille guard is the one I am looking at. Can't stand the thought of being in the middle of nowhere towing the 5th wheel with the family and being stranded when the front end is destroyed by a deer.
That Herd company is the same company that makes big rig front ends. They make some BAD A$$ stuff, but the price tag is pretty high. We have one on our pete at home
