A tree?! Ha, I got a heavy duty bumper from Atlantic British off the bargain bin. It had a couple scratches which is why it was priced at $329 instead of the regular $419. I had to paint it satin to match the front anyway, so no biggie. It's well made and solid for the price, even at $419.

I bent my AB(which is really just a Britpart bumper, BP4x4 and RN sell it too) on a tree stump. Those damn trees are out to get bumpers.

i think im going with the terrafirma D2 base bumper.

it's gonna cost me a grand total (with delivery) unless I can get something like this done.

your truck looks super clean and i like those fogs. mine are rectangular. i wasnt really planning on keeping them.

It wasnt a stump, it was an actual tree with branches laying on the ground after the windy day I guess...it was in my way and there was no way around it on that trail so I went over it...front was just fine and when it came down off of the rear tire it crunched and I just gunned it cause Im boss like that...needless to say the bumper is broketed now.

MC04DII, I really like the bumper. I've been searching for a few weeks for a good place to fab me something up. I found the shop you referenced and I plan to call them up tomorrow. I'd be willing to drive down from Nashville to pick up the bumper if they'd make me one at that price.

Thanks, ask for Nolan. I'm not sure if they kept any measurements, but it's worth a shot. I have no complaints at all.
