No my bumper is tougher ! waaaaaa !!!
Sorry, this thread was a hoot to read. Some of yall are pretty funny.
Anyways, its not about the "name" but rather the look. I like the LOOK of something like the Boondock bumpers. Impact9's truck is one of my favorite looking trucks on this site. They look beefy, have D-rings, and have a MUCH better approach angle. They can mount a winch. That would be the way I would go, and plan to, but have far too many other things on the list right now.

look I never said it was the "toughest" bumper out there. I work on a farm, so hmmm road armor bumpers don't really do what I need it to do. Ranchhand does. Anyway I personally don't care what you run on YOUR truck. What I run on MY truck for MY needs is all I really care about.

Your bumper kicks ***. I like it a lot.
Road armor bumpers kick ***. They seem far more "heavy duty" and "rugged". Think "mad max" look. Its different, I like em.
Now, that said, and hopefully you realize I am not bashing on you, What on earth can your bumper do, that a road armor can't ? Yours does have that kick *** reciever mount up front. But, other then that, is there anything ? honestly curious. I need a new bumper... and always go back and forth.

I think there has been a lot of misunderstanding here. So I'm going to attempt to convey what I'm trying to say. I think it started when someone said "ranch-hand look a likes were just as bad as brushguards for Pavement pounders". I took this as because I didn't buy the (overpriced) Ranchhand bumper that I was called a pavement pounder, which by the many pictures I've posted in the past, I am not one. I thought this was him being stuck on the name brand stuff. I'm not a name brand kind of guy. I want what works. So if a similar product can do the same thing as well and for less, but isn't name brand, I will 100% of the time buy that one instead. Names aren't important to me.
M-tech,
Sorry if I personally attacked you, as that was never my intention. I again felt as though I was seen as being in a pissing match with other members over bumpers. Honestly, like I said, if you can run whatever bumper you want your intended purposes. If you like the road armor, fine by all means, I hope you can run one. They are a cool bumper, doesn't fit my style or needs, but a cool bumper non the less.
Hope that sets everything straight.

PS:M-tec, you can get mine with a winch mount

[QUOTE=ace7337;3437770]I've tapped into a couple of things with my brush guard (shopping carts, parking lot light pole, my bros rear bumper on his chevy) and have no damage. I wish I knew the brand of mine, I can't remember. I got it off ebay for around $250 brand new and had it sprayed w/line-x. Mine tilts which is a really nice feature when washing the truck. I also like mine cause it has 4 bars protecting the headlights rather than 3, which just about every other brush guard that i've seen for 04-08 f150s has.
Did you line-x it yourself? if not how much did it cost to have done?
