FABFOURS are in the running again, I visited their web-site and found a Pre-runner style, see below... sweeeet.

Agree my only concern is that they are massive, when I knocked on the metal of the others bumpers, they produce noise. When I knocked on the Reunels it was a solid thump, like rails. The Mechanics and Techs at Dodge said, “If you are going to be running into trees, those are the bumper for you”.
The brackets are like 30 lbs. each.

Look for your Pics...No pics found 
my vote would be Fabfours bumper with no extra tubing on it...but since you don't like those my next vote would be buckstop without any extra tubing on it I like no extra tubing on it but if you have to I say just get the prerunner bar.

I second that. I think the Reunels look the best outta the three up there.

When I was considering the Tube Diamond plate metal style, I looked into Ranch Hands, Frontier and Tough Country, like the photo below.

They look excellent only I am not into Diamond Plate look.
I have Frontier front and rear replacements.

Shane, I am glad you got involved as this decision had been driving me nuts for the past few days/weeks. (Just want to get it right the first time)
My wife said that if I keep talking or mentioning bumpers to her that she is going to start talking about curtains and drapes to me.
Now that is an ultimatum!

Works both ways.... I didn't look at the other pic's but I will go back and check them out but right now but I really like the fab fours and road armor.. I am actually thinking this summer of building one myself... I just don't see how there is $2200 in there products.. Granted they are very nice.. I'll let you know..Shane

i have the buckstop, like it.
I think your winch of choice, the warn powerplant is a cool item. But I know it will not fit inthe buckstop bumper. It is to tall. Thinking any bumper with a hidden winch mount will have that problem.
good luck

Eddy, Man them bumpers have gotten good since I started looking into them.. I liked the road armor's due to the fact that they didn't look like a peice of square metal.. Now they all look good.. I don't think you can go wrong with either the fab-four or the reunel.. Those are my choices.. I don't like the extra loop's over the top.. I am more of the stealth fan but they aren't bad at all
Actually I am leaning toward the Reunel more and more after I look at them!!

the guy at alien patrol offered to ship a bumper to a few people (me being one of them) with no strings attached. if i like it, pay for it and keep it, if not, send it back and they'll pay shipping both ways. we'll see how it unfolds and i'll keep ya'll updated.
