should be all set for the random elephant that gets in your way aswell.. very nice:rocking:

Sweet! Beefing it up is good but for that one and ESPECIALLY the spiked one... I totally see lawsuit. If you hit someones car and totally annihalate their car and kill them they (or family) could come after you for making your truck a tank and not give any in accident. Our trucks are already more expensive to insure because of the damage they can do.

I like mine from ranchhand 4" bar plus other bars :c: Attachment 48893

not to shabby. i really like the one with the spikes on it

Mine - many thanks to Whit for fixin it -

all the bumpers look waesome on this thread. not sure about the one with the spike though, that looks like a expensive lawsuit:scare2: with no chance of winning. i hope in a couple weeks i will have some pics to add of the bumper i'm building for mine. i should be getting the pieces that are getting cut and bent soon so i can weld it up. what would you guys recomend for a coating? paint, powdercoat, linex, rhino liner, i'm learning towards a silver color.:humm:

Ive been trying to figure that one out myself. Mine is starting to show a bit of surface rust in spots. Spray bombed it - thats not a very good cure at all.

Most of the options here arent cheap. Im leaning to powdercoating or trying some better paint.



Does anyone have good paint suggestions?

looks awesome man!:rocking:

i like the powder coat, but i'm scared. i built a headache rack for my buddy the same as mine, he he got it powder coated. it's out of the line of fire from road debris (salt,stones, etc) and after about 3 months it started to rust on him:argh:. it cost him like $120 from a professional powder coat place:scare2:. i dont want spend a ton of money on it and have it rust in a few months.

Yeah, and the bumper will cost a lot more than that. I was looking at close to $300...

Im wondering if you could use a cold galvanizing spray and then have it painted with some kind of industrial enamel or plastic paint. I like the bedliner option but it doesnt work too well with the expanded mesh.
