So, I looked all around the net before I found my bumper. The Ali Arc Bumper and the Herd bumpers are all really nice, but they were not the price or the look I wanted.

I am really satisfied with my bumper, but as recent events have shown, their quality can be hit or miss, so if you are interested, PM me and I would be more than happy to give you all the information I can. I do know they can powder coat in any color wanted, so you can get the stainless look if desired...



Or you can read here and get a better idea. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...are-mount.html

Honestly, despite the issues, I would go with them again to get my bumper!

Good luck on your deer slayer!

Looks Great.

I liked right up to the point that I saw the price....

Don't think that I can slide that one past the CFO.....

What kind of deer we talking here? Whitetail? Muley? Moose? Elk?

It does make a difference...

The deer stopped running in front of me. Must have heard that I lowered my deductible to $100.00.

I do dig the aluminum bumper look. However, I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, be able to settle with anything less than David's MKS. I just can't do it. I know there were a few quality issues in the latest HNK install, but that bumper is just too perfect.

Ok, so my bumper is OEM and needs a serious upgrade, but the Grill Guard name will remain appropriate !

All of the above, occasional herds of horses, and some really dumb cows!

I see you have your location in your sig. At least I think that's why you put Charleston in your sig, yes?

Think about maybe adding your location to your User CP. Just click on your User CP, click edit your details, then add your location to the appropriate box.

Everyone is accustomed to looking for a person's location listed under a person join date in any given post, not their sig.

I haven't yet seen the bumper that will hold off a horse, cow, moose or elk from destroying your Excursion. I've seen some mighty large muleys as well, and the whitetails in S Texas are abnormally large.

You might just need to get an APC to drive around in and stop the bumper search now, since it will likely be futile in the long run

I got pictures from someone and looking at it now it certainly looks different than the Aero. I still like the look of it. (Yes, I know its on a dodge )

^ less sport more utility... My kind of rig

What makes me laugh though is those guys have all the money and resources in the world and they still can't get something as simple as the ubolts correct. Lmao.
