    Ok, So I am looking for a new bumper for the truck. I am really liking the badland Bumpers, ans saw the ARB and AllPro each in action this weekend.

    So who has a badland? post up the pics.

    First month of ownership... This month I'm removing front air dam, and also Rhino lining the bed.
    I gotta vote for ARB bumpers also. Tough as nails. Good fit to the vehicle.

    I'm liking the AllPro over the ARB, just seems like it goes together so much better. Both are freakin beast bumpers though! :D

    But the 1st gen allpro bumper is kind of prerunner-ish. Like, it sort of leaves the front exposed.

    ARB is very comprehensive.

    Too late, I already ordered my badland from Jeff. Really cool guy. If I had a garage and welder I probably would have, but that coupled with time leaves me with the buying option.

    The pics will be a before and after. I have an OME 3" kit going on at the same time. Not sure what to paint the bumper with yet though. I was thinking about the rattle can with the fine grit media in it already, but cant remember where I saw the thread with the pictures of it.
