New Bumper?
Hit a big dalmation last night in the desert doing 70ish... I won.<br><br>I need a new front bumper now though... any suggestions? I have looked at Winston, Road Armor, and stock. I don't do much serious offroading with brush, and I don't have a winch, but rugged is always good.<br><br>2001 2500 4x4 Quadcab.

Re:New Bumper?
I just installed a Ute bumper from Layne (Denver Off Road) in Fruita, Colorado. Excellent fit and finish. And alignment is a snap. Folks are correct about the stock bumper - pretty flimsy and very light. The Ute goes about 150 lbs and it is stout. I would do it again in a heartbeat.<br><br>Layne does have a couple more Ute bumpers if anyone is interested. PM me for the price. Not sure if I am supposed to post that. <br><br>T-Bone <br><br>Ute pics

Re:New Bumper?
It all depends on what you want to spend on a bumper. If money were no option, I would jump on a Ruennel in a heartbeat. That ruennel is one hefty bumper. I think they cost around 1600 dollars.

Re:New Bumper?
I ordered my Denver Off Road bumper from Layne last year just before Christmas, received it a month ago. He was doing both Ford & Dodge bumper. Cost: $1550 for the bumper, $100 for shipping crate, $129 to ship it to Sacramento, CA. I installed it all by myself, it is awesome!!! Brackets are 1/2" thick, bumper is 3/8" thick. It is massive!!<br><br>Tom

Re:New Bumper?
Stay with stock they look about umm 100 times better then anything someone welds up. IMO that is. Personally and I don't mean it to bash different strokes for differnet folks but I cannot stand the look of the bumpers some of the guys run that look like they belong on a train.

Re:New Bumper?
Hello<br> Try www.DiamondBbumpers.com. They use square tubing turned on a diamond and it is really cool looking and stout to boot. I have one and i love it.
