    Hi guys, I'm pretty new to the forum and I've never actually made a thread but, I was wondering if I can get some opinions on a bumper for my truck.? The one I have in consideration is the hybrid pelfreybilt bumper

    Here's a couple pictures of my truck! First picture is of my truck with the new grille I just bought

    Thank you and hopefully I get some responses!

    Welcome to TW.
    What are you looking for as far as a bumper? Full plate bumper? "Stealth" winch bumper that only replaced the center section?
    Personally, I don't care for the wheels. But, nice looking truck.

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    @Pelfreybilt or @RelentlessFab

    They both make great products.

    FWIW, I believe there's a second gen bumper page that lists most, if not all, types of after market bumpers you'd come across.

    Pelfreybilt or Demello are my top 2 favs... saving up now for one of them, but I'm leaning towards pelfreybilt at the moment. Best of luck to you!
