    So, last month I put my aluminum Pelfreybilt bumper on that I ordered in July and had it shipped to my parents house in Illinois because I had no place by me to pick it up and then I had it Rhino Lined and everything, it looked sick! And then last month me and my wife were driving to Texas for a friends wedding, and we were going through the middle of Wyoming at night. I had my fog lights, head lights, and light bar all on and out of the middle of nowhere doing 65mph a mule deer ran out in front of me. I had no chance to swerve or brake or anything and if it were not for this bumper, I don't think I would have a truck and who knows what would have happened to me and my wife. This go around I'm having the ARB Deluxe Bull Bar put on. So I would like to say, that if anyone on here is back and forth about putting an aftermarket bumper on, do it.

    That’s some serious damage- imagine a normal front end. It would have been destroyed!!! Glad you and your wife are okay! Good luck with the new bumper. Cheers

    Good thing you got aluminum. Steel would have held and wrecked your frame instead.

    Maybe consider that when you replace it
