Heavy duty bumper

I think itz time for me to invest in one of these. I do great driving in the snow. Itz the parking lots that get me. ABS kicks my a$$. I can drift it in the snow so good but a low speed not horsing around turn gets me. I slid into one of those metal tubes they put up around gas pumps. Not bad, I was barely moving but theres a nice lil dent in my bumper. I'm laughing about it and going to bed. Worse things have happened.

well that's a given
But he needs to post somthing about what he's looking for. It went from I need a heavy duty bumper to a story about why he needs it and ended with nothing showing what he is looking for.

Sorry for being vague. I wasn't really looking for anything. I was just posting about what happened to my truck yesterday and what I am gonna do about it. I am actually doing some CAD drawing of what I want so that I can have some steel tube bent and I can weld it up. Should be good if I can afford it once I design it. Maybe I will post a pic of the dent but I really don't care that much that itz there to bother showing it off.

Yes, Robbys bumpers are really very well designed. Mig 220 Welded all around, 1 3/4" dom wall tubing.

I spoke with Road Armor about getting a bumper for my truck and they did everything but cuss me out.

Oh well, I am either getting a super duty or I am going to pay off the ranger and mod the hell out of it.
