Aftermarket Front Bumper Source

Can anyone recommend good sources for a stouter aftermarket front bumper for my 05 ex? I don't need a winch bumper, but want something a little sturdier than what I have now. Preferrably with some built in driving lights, definitely with tow hooks. Powder-coated, not chrome.

The painted front bumper on my limited has rock chips that have started surface-rusting, and looks like crap. I'd like to put something a little more substantial on there.

Believe it or not, I've looked in several catalogs I have, as well as doing several google searches, and haven't found squat.

Thanks,
Greg

I had one of the heavy ones on my F150, it was unbelievable! Front and rear, no problems and saved many dents from bump gates (rural Texas) and unexpected obstacles; unfortunately bumpers don't keep you from being T-boned. So I am on the forum reading up on the Excursion!

I'm waiting for someone to make a bumper out of a length of railroad rail and just tie it into the front tow hooks. It wouldn't look very good, but it would stop just about anything

from what I recall the road armour and alien patrol are very close in design........don't quote me on this but for some reasin I think one of the designers or original guys from road armour left and started alien patrol.....

road armour takes forever to get, my brother ordered and it took a few months to get. if you like their look (I do) maybe look into the alien patrol
