Ok I'm looking for a Black rear bumper that is tuff as heck. .................[/quote]

I have a Reunel, it's built like a tank, and weighs around #175. Their finish and welding doesn't impress me much, but the bumper will haul #15,000 with the optional receiver assembly. You must remove the OEM hitch to install the bumper. If you get rear ended with this one, I guarantee it will put a hurtin' on whatever is behind you.

Its a shame to have an expensive bumper like that and have a crappy finish, welds, or appearance. Is it powercoated?? if ya sprayed it with Linex or something similar, it would probably look better.

Yes, the outside surfaces are powder coated. Don't get me wrong, it's a good looking bumper. The problem is with the back, or inside surface. It's bare steel, and the welds aren't continuous. As the back surface rusts, it bleeds out the seams and down the outer face of the bumper. I'm doing a refurb next year, and filling the seams with RTV, then repainting it including the back surface as well.

This guy has a pretty cool one made of stainless steel:

I don't think it's what you'd call super heavy duty, but I like the storage compartments.

Ok I got some better pictures up. Just keep in mind I just got this camera and I'm trying to figure out all this Digital stuff. :-[ The bumpers need some paint but, keep in mind they have been on the truck a few years now and the Ranch isn't bumper friendly.

DODGE4X4

9 inch would just be showing off ;D

Dr. Evil

Did you actually make your front bumper??? If so - NICE job !!!!

Thanks for the pics, by the way.

DODGE4X4

No I didn't make the front bumper I got lazy . It is made by a company called King Klaw, there here in Texas. They make strong bumpers so I just bought one. Your welcome for the pic's I'm going to erase the ones I put on to day and replace them with some better ones. I will take the pictures at a better place rather than the old house.
