SHTF bumper for my EX

Looking for something to replace my cheap factory front bumper. Must be heavy enough to take on small cars, deer or Obama supporters

. Looking for pictures, ideas or info on home built bumpers. No brush guards, something like a Ranch Hand bumper just not $1500-$2000 dollars. Thanks

SHTF stands for SH** HITS THE FAN. Meaning civil unrest, terrorist attack, riots, natural disaster, end of the world type stuff etc. Just trying to be prepared. No I'm not a wacko.. not yet...

Check out Ranch Hand on craigslist and stuff. Even a used one that has been through hell and back with good brackets will be stout as hell.

I thought the Legend series RH was still only like $1000?

There are other bumper manufacturers but I think RH is really at the cheaper of the barrel (from what I can tell).

I have Ranch Hand Bull Nose bumpers (F&R) on my Tahoe. They are stout and well made. The only cost for a small infraction is the cost of a can of black spray paint to repair.
