I wish there was another option out there that would offer strength, protection, and good looks. In addition I would like to see a good rear bumper that has shackles, etc. The only one I can find is the road armor ones. I know road armor is quite proud of their work. I don't think I want to spend $2-3K on bumpers. 
Has anyone else found good looking alternatives? |
The base bumper that is being offered is going to cost around $1500, not 2-3K. And the Raptor base bumper has options to install the guard you are talking about. how much more expensive is it to add just thick tubes, I do not know cause their pricing is not very accurate. What i do like in fact is the brush guard style they add since it sticks out past the bumper and will act as a guard to push other cars out of your way and be protective to our truck. It will be winch capable and as you say look GREAT. It is the only reason why I have not gotten the
ARB bumper, I cannot stand the way how it sticks too far forward in front of the truck and how ugly it is, like the shape and overall features to them. And I had e-maile ARB to ask if I could have the deluxe style and they told me impossible, how hard is it to pay more and add extra tubes. I was told, "we just cannot do it" WOW what great customer service. But I'm sure its as strong as it gets when it comes to heavy duty bumpers.
Roard Armor bumper are just more my style
They are paintable upon request at the factory
They have options to change and add extras upon request from the customer
And they all are very stylish and still have all the beefiness (impact resistance) of other heavy duty bumpers, maybe more than some according to the website.
I'm buying one(
hello credit card
), I'll post pictures up for everyone wanting to see the finished product.
