DO NOT BUY FROM THEM..

do some searching on google with there name and you will see 100's of people that paid for bumper snad months later still never got them..

then when they did get them.. the holes were not correct and they di dnto fit..

I would suggest if you like the look take the pic and have someone else make one like that for you

1st I have to second the "do not buy from them!!!" I had a customer that bought one for a durango and we had to install it.

It didn't fit the body lines (we had to trim the sides)
it was not parallel / square to the mounts, left side was high.
He called it a 12,000 lb bumper but was held on with (4) 3/8" bolts.
We built (4) more addtional mounts.
The brush guard was bent with a cheap tubing bender as the tubes collapsed in the corners and the radii were not the same and the top bar was not parallel with the bumper.
Finally his "bedliner" coating was really poor and almost no prep work done and rust formed under the bedliner. We removed it with aircraft stripper, sand blasted it and had it line-x.

I went with a powdercoated buckstop, very nice. See my pictures.

If your looking for one that is definately made for a flat-faced truck, get/make one like mine. Pics are on my albums on my profile.

The faded tag on the front says
Del Rio Grill Guards
(830) 774-4404
Hope posting the number aint against the rules.



I dont even know if they even exist anymore but there is their number if you wanna give them a call.

I tried looking for a possible web site for them. Didnt find anything as far as a bumper-for sale site but I did find a "Truck of the Week" on another site. Its a mid 90's model chevy with a similar bumper.

maybe I could put a rear bumper on the front and close up the cut out where the trailer ball goes.
Might be ugly but should hold up to the deer when you hit them.

Man I hate to say this, but not a thing. Trail Ready is a sponsor of ours

I will tell you that the bumper is supe heavy duty and is attached very well.

While at an off roace in Nevada, I had a class 7 race truck that was going about 20-25 smack the front bumper on the drivers side, it left an un-noticable mark, but the heck out of the race trucks tubing

I hope to Larry from Trail Ready to build me a matching rear bumper...
