WARN front bumper?

[DocDetonancour]

Looking at putting a WARN on my rig. Anyone comment on any rust or other issues. Is 2 K a decent deal? Thanks, Doc

You might also consider Reunel; they come set up for Warn winches.

I've had a Fab Fours rear bumper on my truck for about 4 months now..... i can't believe how nice it is..... just ordered a front last week to match it since they've been on sale this month... ... i've also got a warn 16. 5ti sittin in the floor ready to go on in it when the bumper gets here... ... should be here tues. or wed..... i'll put some pics up when it's on... ... while i've never seen in person or installed a warn bumper on a dodge... ... i have had some experience with some warn units on other vehicles and not been very impressed with them... ... . they are not built near as heavy as a fab fours/ruenel/road armor/ranchhad/buckstop would be..... especially for 2k..... i was able to get the fab fours shipped to the door cheaper than that with the special they are running right now.....

Doc DeTon,

I too would recommend the www.reunel.com bumpers for I have both front and rear in stainless steel and live 6 blocks from the beach and have no issues what-so-ever! The folks at Reunel are awesome and customer friendly like no other! Good luck and do some searching before you buy; just my . 02.

I have the HD argent grey bumper on my 03 Dually.



Really like it, and haven't seen rust happen yet (only been a year though)



Cheapest I found was http://www.4buy4.com/warn_heavydutybumpers1.htm



They were $300 cheaper than everyone else, and it is free shipping.



My $0. 02

DOC, I see you are in Montana (Where I am from) If I were you I would go up to Libby and have Twinkle Welding build you a custom bumper. They do great work and they will build it the way YOU want, with any option, etc. You can get into one for around $1500 depending on the options/style you choose. See my Readers Gallery for pictures! You will NOT be disappointed. They use 3/16 and 1/4 steel plate, way better than manufactured bumpers I think, it gives you a one of a kind bumper that you designed. They can build one w/ or w/o a winch, just the bumper with no grille guard or 3 different styles of grille guard, reciever hitches for boats or winches, tow hooks, light tabs, you name it they will make it. Proffessional quality!

Shane- I looked at the site that you linked but there was no photo of the bumper on a Dodge. Do you have any photos of the bumper on your truck?

 

[DocDetonancour]

Thanks for all the replies. I would rather have stainless, but thought it would be waky more $$$$. Still pondering and may call Libby to see if they have any pictures. Doc

Another vote for Reunel Mfg here. Had their rear bumper on my Excursion and it was top class. Over engineered and underated for sure.

I also have had a Reunel rear bumper after I backed into a telephone pole with a 99 Powerstroke and totalled the factory bumper. After installing the Reunel bumper, I did the same dumb thing the following weekend while hunting in Mexico. I did put a hell of a dent in that telephone pole but not a scratch in the Reunel bumper. It took two people to lift it into the bed of my truck though. I think you'll like the Reunel product. Harry

Doc, I know what you mean going stainless, it does look nice. I had my Ford all chromed out, but I got tired of maintaining it from all the road grime in MT and AK, things were constantly starting to rust. That is why I went with powdercoat on the Dodge and changed it on the Ford as I had the time.



My buddy has a Renuel on his 04, very stout bumper!



Just my . 02

Good luck
