Is ranch hand the best bumper replacement brand?

go to boerne and talk to them in person. they get blemish grill guards all the time and a full replacement can be had for about half of what they sell for new. some of the blems i saw were simply a wrinkle in the powder coat. i never lucked out and found a blem for my truck just a bunch of grill guard blems. they were pretty cool guys there that will help you out. it is off i10 right as you get to boerne about 10 mins from 1604

The frontier bumper is like 168-189lbs something like that. I was looking for One specifically when I found this thread. I really want a frontier b/c of the look on the truck is cleaner than a big piece or pipe and along with that everyone has one. I figure if I trash the bumper insurance will be used to repair the truck any ways same as the ranch hand. The frame will buckle and total the truck reguardless of the bumper on it. A buddy of mine had a frontier on his dmax and it held up pretty well to pushing trees and pretty much anything else. Are they lighter? Yes. Are they stronger then the stock bumper? Yes. At some point a bumper is a overkill. Hopefully ill find a frontier for $500 or less. Or ill build one like it
