long story short guys, the front bumper of my truck is pretty messed up from a fight w/ a deer and a tree stump. Instead of replacing it w/ another stock piece, Id like to put an aftermarket bumper on.

Just looking for suggestions and pics if possible. So far Im considering Buckstop, Ranchhand bullnose, Reunel and Road Armor.

Any other suggestions/experiences? I wasnt ever really thinking about a bumper for this truck, but since Im in this situation I figure, why not? Just dont have to long to make a decision

Thanks
Jeff

 

There is a road armor bumper in the 3rd gen classifieds. (not mine)

 

Take a look in my gallery. Pic was taken after hitting a moose. I got her slowed to about 25mph, but no noticeable damage. Deer and Hyundais just bounce off and clear to the side. A friend of mine built it for me according to a design I drew up. He will have to rework the mounts and top of the main body to fit a 3rd gen, but said it wouldn't be a problem.

 

I like the RanchHand Bullnose for looks, strength and price.

Awesome stuff for 3rd gens

look in my gallery.....hit a lady who ran a stop sign.....no damage

 

Ranch Hand, Diamond B Accessories, Go Industries, South Texas Outfitters, Tough Country. These are nice.

 

Nice stuff.....and nice prices too! Holy Crap! I paid ~$1300.00 for mine and it's aluminum too.

 

Thanks for all the replys guys. Right now I'm thinking about the Ranchhand Bullnose, or a base Road Armor.

My biggest issue is turnaround time. My trucks in the body shop right now, but, I only have about 900 bucks for a rental truck which will only last me a little more than a week. If I went with a stock bumper Id have it back in time, not sure about the aftermarket though

anyone w/ experience on how long these things take to ship?

thanks again
Jeff

Id get ranch hand if i had the choice... wow those off road alloy's look HORRIBLE... does not "fit" the truck at all.
