Too many deer (and a few elk) on the roads in my area for an adornment like that. "Where the metal meets the meat" is how I dress my truck.

I do so for the stupid drivers on the road in my city. I actually had custom bumpers made after some *****hat pulled out in front of me. Next time an idiot does that, they will be sorry.

Not the best quality pics (cell phone). Pics were quickly taken right after putting the truck back together after spraying the liner on the truck.

and you do realize that just the opposite could happen and be used against you? Your over aggressive bumpers could cause harm in a scenario where with normal bumpers, would not? Truck parts are replaceable, human lives are not. I dislike seeing unnecessary stuff like this on the road, just like the folks that leave hitches in place when not needed! Just a rant, dont get me started on the ridiculous lighting stuff!

Truck looks nice though.

Understood. Thanks for the compliment on the truck.

Lights are definitely needed getting to and out of my hunting lease since we move to the stands at night. Lights are there for that purpose...not used on the street (except for the legal ones).

I don't see how those are more dangerous than other bumpers. It's the 6000lbs behind the bumper that causes damage. Maybe drivers shouldn't be stupid. Always an option. My hitch receiver protected my truck when some child backed into the back of my parked truck. She didn't quite make it to the bumper, stopped after hitting the receiver.

No way those bumpers are same material , thickness and weight of a standard Ford bumper. As for your hitch, two ways to see that. Your thought and the other: maybe your extended hitch caused it? another debate for another thread! LOL!
