Help with Off Road Bumper!

Hey TW, lately i ve been looking into getting an off road "prerunner" front bumper. Looking into it, i noticed how many freakin options and companies there are. I've really been loking into All Pro lately. But anyways, could you guys post up some pics and reviews on the off road front bumpers yall have? Also one last question, say I do spring in and buy one, will i need new front suspension to handle the weight? Thanks guys

 

Subd. I just embarked on my lengthy bumper research project as well. Looking at All Pro, Brute Force and Pelfrey in my top three for front and rear.

 

Do they make a front for the 2012+?

 

Bruteforce hybrid!!

Stole the pic from another user. I will be purchasing this one soon.

yeah i saw that thread and saw brute force. Right now its between brute force and all pro. ANything will look better than my tiny ass bull bar i have now,

 

Check out Demello off road, they have one that I have been eyeing lately.

 

Pelfreybilt Hybrid

 

I like that one. Is it much lighter than a plate bumper?

 

Which All-Pro bumper are you looking at? I ordered an Apex 1-piece bumper when they had their Memorial Day Free Shipping Sale (saved me 200 bucks in truck freight shipping)

I also went ahead and ordered a rear bumper with hitch and corner armor from them. The fronts were on a 3 week backorder by the time I got to call them and place an order, so I should be getting my tracking number any day now on the palette which contains both bumpers.

All-Pro also offers a modular 3-piece bumper that I'm not a fan of, because the whole reason I want a different bumper is for the protection and the 1-piece seems slightly better suited to that... plus I think it looks cooler.

 

im looking at the standard front bumper. Im assuming one- piece

 

If you have the $$$, I really like my Road Armor!

 

Just finished installing my road armor bumper this week. AEmedic, the finish on your bumper looks very different than mine. Did you alter it? For the amount of money these things cost I was disappointed in the crappy powdercoat finish. Mine scratches very easily.

Also, you might notice in pic that pieces below the headlights are missing. Road armor forgot to ship the necessary fascia piece so I could pop those in, but, they should be on their way. I really like the looks of this bumper, but honestly, I don't think its worth the money they charge for it

 

I agree, the cost is too high, but this was the one I wanted after looking at all the rest.

The finish on mine is different because I had it totally encapsulated in Line-X before it was installed. This is the only way to go in my opinion!
