aftermarket bumpers

[cguthrie]

Does anyone know of any aftermarket bumpers made for our pickups? I got into a wreck and i don't want to ever have this much damage again I'll try and get some pics on here for everyone to see. I would just like to have a really heavy duty bumper. Thanks everyone. Oh yeah and i just had some money saved up to get some injectors and some guages and a turbo housing and now i'm gonna have to spend $500 of that on my deductible until they decide if it was my fault or not.

I'll second that plea for a good cow catcher. No accident yet (knock on wood), but I'd rather spend the money for a good front end rather than on rebuilding it.

There are plenty of better aftermarket front Bumpers out there to choose from. A quick search in the P&A forum with a keyword "bumper", will give you a lot of feedback to make an informed decision on. I just went through this exercise myself :-laf :-laf

From all my checking. No one is suporting our trucks now. The only hope is to find a used factory built one. Or have someone local build one for you. Look in the readers rig section. Bushwkr has a home built that him and some friends built. Very good design.



Or you might think about a vocational welding course. They are 6 to 10 weeks long one night a week. You could learn a new skill and make the truck look better.



The instructor would know where to get some heavy steel bent for the main frame work.

You may want to check with Layne at Denver Offroad.

When I visited his shop last year he was making one of his Aluminum bumpers for an 92 1st gen Crew cab. Looked awesome but he was using that truck as a template to build. He may have the specs to build you guys one.



It won't hurt to ask... ... I would call him at his shop @ (970)858-8400.

Reunel makes one for the first gen trucks. There is a picture of it in the reader rigs.

Thanks allot for all the replies. I talked to my friends in Oregon and there gonna make me one. Does anyone know the dimensions of the Warn 15,000 lb winch or where i could get them at? I can't wait for my new bumper, hopefully no more twisted bumpers. Mine caved in pretty easy.
