i know there are already threads for this, but things change in time. im debating a different front bumper for my truck and would like to see what all is out there. pictures only please!
Thanks. It feels good to know other OBS guys approve of the direction I've taken her. I like the looks of that Hardknox bumper too. May have considered it, but the buckstop was the only one I could find for the OBS at that time.
i want one with the baja guard and no fog light holes in grey. i just posted a thread for a photoshop request to see what it would look like on the truck when done. find the thread. the truck will look sweet
:whs:,Iron bull is up there for me, they look pretty nice. However, like alot of guys on here, before I spend 1500 (at least) on a bumper when the stoke chrome looks nice, I would rather:
-New injectors, Stealth HPOP, BTS tranny, fresh rubbers, more comfy seats, track bars..........
...... D66, Head studs, better brakes, to name a few:doh:.
a bumper will probably be my last mod but it does serve a purpose for me. the fact of the matter is a stock bumper wont hold up to the somewhat frequent deer i hit or the occasional bear or handle pushing some of my equipment around. also i need something that will hold a big winch for use on the jobsite and my hunting land. but yes my motor and a built trans will be my priority. actually my entire truck is being rebuilt
These are some pics of my Hard Knox Fab bumper, I know pics have already been posted of them but this one does not have the pre runner bar, also it has a Warn 10k winch it, so you know it'll fit a big winch. The bumper had to be spaced out a little more then normal to clear the monster winch but it works. You can get a good price from Paul (BigStroker) here on the board, he is a dealer for them.
When it comes to protecting the front of the truck ranchhand is probably the cheapest. I think they're around $1100??? The others cost that much and have nothing to protect the headlights and grill. I'm talking about name brands. Talk to bigstroker for cheap functional bumpers.
the truck will be getting some type of custom steel bumper,just not sure what yet.i just am sure it wont be the ranchhands tho,unless i cut the grill guard part off
Here's a site that some of you lookin' for bumpers might like to see. Ranch Hand Style Bumpers LOW PRICE $685 W/Rec.512-788-6950 BumperDude.com The site kinda sucks 'cuz it's not set up well, but this guy has a crap load of bumpers to look at. Make sure you find all the pages. I think 8 in all.
I hate how these bumpers look! I never have understood why they feel the need to leave a big gap between the grill and the bumper??? Other than that they would be a good looking bumper
I can get a close up if you want, but this is an old industrial size warn, not the smaller 10 style they make now....Its about to become a 12k (exact same chassis) since I picked up one with a bad motor, going to use the motor off this one and the body and gears off the 12k....but whatever fits your fancy.....I gotta go with used stuff I can get a deal on
I am gonna do something similar to these when i get to it. LOL
