Front Replacement Bumper

I have been looking for a long time to find a bumper for the front of my truck and have looked at iron bull bumbers, ranch hand, boon dock, and take3. What do yall think looks the best. I really dont want to spend $1000 on a bumper but want to be strong so I can run ***** over!!lol.

I would also like to add an aftermarket bumper or just one of the brush guard/ push bar to my truck but like you don't want to spend a ton of money on it. If anyone has made one, post some pics.

The guys on the TV show Trucks just made a bumper a few weeks ago. Might check their web site and see if the "how-to" is posted.

Plowhand that is a really nice bumper might do what you did but add a lil like a grill guard to it. I like that it looks clean! How heavy is that. I try to watch craiglist and need to make my rounds to the junk yards havent done that lately.

Thanks, if anyone even has a bought one I would like to see pics of them also!!!

Very nice plowhand. That bumper looks very simple but effective. It looks like you could probly stand it to service the old girl.

I am about to do a headache rack and rear bar. I may make one of those bumpers while I'm at it. Thanks for posting the dimensions.

No I haven't made it yet. I still want to its just low on the list! I would like to make a rear bumper as well but I just got done cutting the one that came on the truck off putting a stocker back one with a real hitch so that will have to wait as well.
