Bumper Suggestions

hey all i was wondering if anyone knew any aftermarket bumper brands that make some bumpers that could take a deer and not be phased... i want one cleaner looking than a ranch hand. the one on big bad dodge would be perfect. i dont want just the big bottom part i want the whole grill and light guard. if you know any websites that have anything like this that would be great.

thanks
Jared

reunel.com They're very nice. Lots of combos to choose from, fog lights, off road lights, winches, d rings, hooks, and paint match anything you want.

I like the ranchhands, I have one on my truck and when I get a new truck that will be the first thing I get for it. They are built very well and offer excellent protection from deer, trees, or any other immovable object in your path. They also give your truck that "dont mess with me" look. Some of the best money you can spend in my opinion.

I have a prozap on my 1996. Pics of the prozap (not my truck though) can be seen here. http://dodgeram.org/ki4cy/bumper/prozap.htm
I have been pleased with it so far, though it remains "untested".

I think the bumper that you've seen on Big Bad Dodge is a road armor bumper which can be seen at www.roadarmor.com....I think the owner/creator of road armor sold the company and started a new company called Alien Patrol..That website is www.alien-patrol.com I think you might find some cheaper prices at Alien Patrol as I'm trying to find some bumpers for my truck currently but they are still very expensive

If you like aluminum, check out the UTE. I have one on my 95, and love it.

If your interested in ordering from an online/catalog based company i'd highly recommend going through quadratec. they specialize in jeeps and off road equipment, but also have their truck section.

heres their truck bumper page:
