I love my 150$ EDC benchmade. Had it for about 4 years now and sharpens up nicely every time.

 

I've heard great things about Benchmade!

 

Yeah, my hunting knife is a Leatherman and it's S30V. You can gut, skin, and process an entire deer and it's just as sharp for the last cut as it is for the first. It's the best example of sintered metal I've ever used, that's for damn sure.

 

Its great for my EDC - I wouldn't use it for heavy use like hunting or long term cutting. I just use it for everyday stuff and religiously sharpen it every Friday morning....

 

For work I have been using Milwaukee Home Depot $9 specials as for some reason they seem to disappear. The red handle makes it easy to find.

But my favorite has been my Gerber flik multi tool. Only thing I wish was different would be replaceable wire cutters. I love the one handed opening and it has held up. The leather man wave I had rusted shut I was bullshit. 2 years going my wire cutters and almost toast and the pliers are melted a bit but no rust and everything works mint.

 

I've been carrying my Leatherman PST (the original!) pretty much every day since I got it for my 16th birthday. I've sent it back once for the smallest screwdriver breaking, and once because the wire cutters had worn out, and Leatherman has repaired it at no charge both times. I've thought about upgrading but honestly this one still works perfectly so I haven't seen the need to yet.

 

I think I've fallen in love with this bumper: http://www.headstrongoffroad.com/st...t_R.S.P._Front_Bumper_with_Winch_Cut_Out.html

With those 3 lights it looks amazing. Ugh.

 

I keep wanting an ARB bumper... but need to do everything else first.

 

I'm leaning towards hybrid or tube steel bumpers from the front and rear. Something lightweight. And I definitely want to mount round lights on it. So this one has caught my eye.

It's listed on Amazon too, but for a few hundred less and without the winch cutout.

 

Free Freight?!? That's a pretty good savings right there.

 

Well its $380 more than the one on Amazon:

N-Fab T053RSP-TX Bumper

So I imagine that could be why!

 

Which one do you want? I have a distributor that sell N-fab.

 

I'm in the same boat... ARB

 

I've been really happy with my Pelfreybilt Hybrid. You can use it to slide up rocks. Not sure the N-fab would be able to take that kind of abuse. I don't sure how you are planning on using your truck.

@BigMacMcCoy

 

The one with the 3 round lights. It isn't clear if N-Fab sells them with a winch cut out/mount plate or if that is something Headstrong Offroad does. But I'd like a winch plate.

I did look at those and they do look great! It may be more than I need though. My truck will realistically be my daily driver, so 95% highway, 5% offroad. And since I have no offroading experience it will probably be novice trails for a while.

 

I might be able to help you guys out on an ARB

 

Depending on the color here's your part numbers:
T053RSPW - Gloss Black
T053RSPW-TX - Textured Black

The Amazon one you linked doesn't have the winch plate, You're specifically looking for a part number that says "RSPW" which is the RSP with winch.

 

Ah good to know! Thanks! How much could you get either of those for? The finish doesn't bother me much.

 

I'll have to reach out to them on pricing - for some reason I cant figure out why this distribution site doesn't tell me shipping prices.

 

Keeewwwwlllll
