I bought a 2013 3500 last night it's going to be my first band new vehicle. Wanted to get a real good bumper any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Congrats! Be sure and post picts. Nothing like that new truck smell . Depending on how you're going to use it, some on here really like their "Backwoods Bumpers".

I was thinking ranch hand. Their is a dealer near here, but I don't know of really any other bumpers. I'll look up backwoods though. I am liking for something that is bumper/grill guard and heavy duty

It doesn't really have a smell. Not near as snappy as my 04 but I like it. Interested to see what it does pulling.

Backwoods Bumpers is one of the site sponsors and in the list of sponsors. Here is a link to their site .http://backwoodsbumpers.com/

blue lake off road out of georgia took care of my needs for front and back. If you go on their website, my truck is actually shown.

I sure like the looks of the blue lakes, and the options they give you with lights. But dang, the one I priced out is 1675 shipped to Mt. And whoever I get to install it will have to wire it for the fog lights because mine doesnt have them. Just seem like a pile of money for a bumper.

I dunno about your gen truck, but I just ordered a Road Rhino weld it yourself kit for my 2nd gen. I don't even have it in my possession yet though to give a definitive comment on quality.

I would call these guys. http://rockymountaintruck.com/ It's where I got my Frontier stuff from. They are in Billings.

Saw a tdk that was really nice and they are fairly local, anyone on here have one of theirs?

I wanted to get a tdk before we left great falls. I've seen them on quite a few trucks up there. One if these days that is what I'm gonna get.

I'm on the coast here and Ranch Hands rust easily. Buckstop and Reunel make a nice unit.
Backwoods makes a non-winch model for yours now. No fat lip factor.
A good bumper with a quality coating is worth it.
Kind of like Carli or Thuren in the suspension dept.

Buckstop makes nice heavy duty bumpers. I have front and rear on my 03 and i love them!!

I had a TDK on my 04.5. Very nice bumper and Jeremy was great to deal with. A new TDK for my '12 was going to be around $2300 so it was kind of out of the question for me. I spent $900 on my Frontier through a local dealer through the guys in Billings. It has held up nice so far and it doesn't have a large pipe sticking out in front like others (fat lip like Danderson said lol).

I would have to agree though on the styling and structure of a TDK. It was stout and being local was a plus I just couldn't part with that much money. Not saying they aren't worth it. I think they are worth every penny. If I had an unlimited budget then it would be between a TDK and Reunel for sure. Here is my 04.5 with TDK
