    I'm starting to shop for a steel rear bumper for my taco. I go off-road hunting but nothing to serious. D-rings are a must for pulling animals and Fords out. Does anyone have opinions on which one would be best?

    there is no best bumper. just one that suits your specific needs. sounds like you dont want anything too fancy so i recommend this one, cheap, strong, no cutting, bolt it on and go..

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    BruteForce Fab (best bang for your buck)

    Relentless Fab (spendy but excellent quality and design)

    Just my $0.02 - if I didn't build my own, I would've gladly purchased from either of those two guys.
