throttle down kustoms bumper on mine. I looked at RA and AP.... ordered one from AP and it never came??? ordered one from shane at TDK and it was here in two weeks..... I put it on myself in my driveway, fit perfect and took me about 30 minutes to swap the factory bumper out for it.....

 

I looked at one of these bumpers at an offroad shop in Austin, Tx. I thought it looked really nice until I looked at the back of it. They cut out and piece in sections to get the angles. That was not the problem. The problem was that none of the pieces were welded out on the backside. They were all just tacked in place.

There is no way I would put that piece of crap on any thing I owned. It would have never withstood any real impact without the welds breaking. I agree also that it will eventually rust through the powder coating.

They sure look good, but in my opinion they are no bueno!

For the price you pay for these bumpers you could build your own. I paid $350to build this one, it's a F650 frame that was cut off a cab and chassie and the rest is solid stock around the head lights, except for the lil steps I put on the bottoms you can see if you look real close, I pitty anyone I may hit...

 

sorry countryboy, that is a nice bumper but there is no comparison with the aesthetics of it with the TDK, AP or RA bumpers......

 

Countryboy that thing sure would hurt a Toyota! It sounds like it weighs a ton, or two. I am looking at some of these replacement bumpers too, anyone have the Buckstop or Fusion bumpers?

 

I am looking at Iron Bull right now,they look nice.Has anyone mouted one yet and if so how was fitment,quality of welds,brackets,aligment with grille etc..
