If I was running my truck for money, I would run them too. You got to admit though, they are not pretty!

Mornin guys!!!

Sorry to hear that Roy. Glad everyone is OK.
I don't have my stock bumper anymore .... I gave it to TRENT (he may have two now LOL).

Personally, I think any aftermarket bumper is about function. If I didn't want a winch I would have left my bumpers stock. I do like having the D-rings on the back bumper tho, makes it handy to pull people out

Get whatever you like Roy.

Have a good day guys!!

I agree with this, but I also have to look at it everyday! LOL Why can't I have a tough bumper that look's good too?
After all, Even with that big ol' bumper, you never intend on actually whack'in something with it!

I thought mud brown was the color! Hey man, you bought it for your work, and in that regard it is a tool. Tool's get dirty.....Or at least that is what the clinic tells me!

Good Morning Guys........

Thanks a Bunch for all the feed back!!

1. I want to protect the coolers from damage if I nail a Deer.

2. Looks count too.

3. Can't brake the bank too much.

Your insite....comments.....and examples are a help. Thanks!

I do like the low one like Trent's.........I do like the better protection of the higher profile..........Hummmmmmmm

Roy. The ones that have smaller tubes wrap around headlights and fenders. personally i see them getting bent right back into headlighhts/fenders if you smack a dear at a purty good clip. maybe im wrong.Since ive never had that kind before but there isnt nothing to stop them from folding right inward. just my opinion.

That's right A, from the side they look like they have a fat lip.....
I still like Darrens n Trents...

I am guessing you are correct. It needs to be a big hunk of steel to stand up to a deer hit at 60mph..........

I have yet to see ANY bumper stand up to hitting a deer at 60mph Roy. I know these bumpers are stronger than OEM, but they will not take that kind of impact without bending somewhere.
