Yea I just love that look!

Price for that bumper as a kit is around $700, can't hardly touch one of the bigger suppliers bumpers for twice that much.

I was always a little disappointed in the choice for bumpers for my '90. Jeffs Bronco Graveyard is the only place I found decent ones...

When I talked to the guy on the phone he said he could make a bumper for just about anything. I suggest calling or emailing them with what you want.

I am currently biulding bumpers for mine at work. Idid a small side job for them to get the 1/4x8x8 inch tube steel. I have done all of the angle work on the ends of the front one and as soon as I can get the truck in my bay I will fit it to the front horns of the frame. I ordered the piece of tube for a reciever and will be putting it through the front one so I can hook to it. I also put one of those marine plug kits in it for my block heater. The rear one will get the set cut out in the center and I will make the ends with weather tite doors to act as tool storage. I just couldn't see paying the money for one that was already made when I could build what I wanted front and rear for less than $100 lol.

We have the Ranch hand front bumper replacement on most of our trucks around here. They are not on the website anymore but a simple phone call gets you one. Here is a pic of the one for 97-03.

That is cool! Mine will be nothing that fancy lol. But then again some of my hunting trips would take a toll on a bumper like that lol. I don't drink and hunt at the same time but we do get pretty messed up after dark and I seem to find trees getting back to our trailer. By the way it is all on private land, no drinking and driving on public roads. Two years ago I missed the driveway and did a number on my pass fender and door. That almost made me cry lol.

i have one on my 88.
it came off an old dodge pickup in the junkyard i got for $5, and cut to fit in the bumper/plow frame.
it is welded to the frame/bumper so everything can be removed if needed.
the bumper is made of 10 inch channel steel.

Hey Tom, give your boy a set of keys, he looks determined to get behind the wheel. Like the Ford oval on the bumper and the rattle trap plate.

Sorry, only been in the IDI forums since getting the 450 in December. So John should be about old enough to get behind the wheel then<g>.
