I am partial to Denver Off Road myself. I don't have any pics, but there are plenty to view if you do a search, and I believe phox_mulder has one on his truck with picks in his gallery. It's a matter of taste really, but it gets my vote.

I have a buchstop front bumper and love it. I bought it used, but new I think they are around $1500. Very easy to install and very tough.

I like the Sport bumpers/front end the best myself, although it won't do much to help prevent damage from a deer.

If I had to get a new bumper, I would definitely go with an Alien-Patrol bumper.

PS : I have heard Alien-Patrol was started by a bunch of guys that quit/got fired from Road Armor, so all the bumpers look just like Road Armors, just a lot cheaper.

I like my Buckstop Outback more than any other out in the market. Just love it, but I was really disappointed for their service. After many many MANY calls and three wrong shipments I finally got it. After 5½ months. In grey, I ordered it in black, and got charged for chromed light buckets which I did not recieved/ get...

But thankfully, I do not need any spare parts for that one!

But I really do like it.

Another vote for DOR, but it's really up to what you like!! If you are at all interested in the DOR you should call Layne ASAP as it can take some time if he's building a run of another application.
BTW: I got fed up with waiting for Layne and was entertaining buying a Buckstop, I really like the look and design and was able to see one in person...IMO they are a unfinished bumper! The "powdercoat" they use is very poor!
And the foglight buckets are way cool till you look at them closely and notice that they don't spend the extra 5 minutes to completely weld all the way around the bucket, meaning it is only tack welded to the bumper, may not seem like a huge deal but then you combine that with the **** poor "powdercoat" and the bumper I saw which was less then a year old already had rust bleeding through around the buckets. Again JMO

Go with ranchhand bud. They make a dang strong bumper. People complain that they cost too much but you get what you pay for.
