How did everything hold up? What model do you have?

I've got my eyes on these things.

LOL! Same here! I had a Warn winch bumper on my 86, did`nt look half as beefy as a Buckstop and I never bent that thing. I would figure if you hit something large enough to damage a Buckstop the bumper would be the least of your worries...but thats just me i guess :-)

I'm getting one put on next week! Hope I never have to 'test' it
Getting the baja in black..... it is 190lbs over stock so that must be a fair bit of metal to bend in a crash

scotty got in an accident with his road armour bumpers , i can't remember the outcome , but i know he was wondering if it tweaked the frame of the truck instead of bending the bumper.

I almost herniated myself installing my Buckstop. My help fell thru and I did it by myself.

a friend of mine hit a concrete wall with it with a bumper just like ours...

He couldnt brake on wet black soil if u know how that slips

there was only a little dent on the bumper, and some coated paint scratched off.

you gotta have it anyway, (for good look) (and youll feel safer in your truck)

The Buckshot bumpers looks like the Ranchhand bumpers. Which is better?

looks like thats what I have on my new to me truck. The original owner had told me he had hit a couple deer with it. "Texas deer". I can see where it slid back in the slotted holes and made minor contact with the radiator support. The bumper is very well built, I IMO, with the exception of the mounting. I will be building some additional bracketry to distribute the load out over a little more of the frame.
