After going into the store today I come out to find someone was nice enough to back into my front bumper on my 2012 f-150 and drive away without even a note... Making the best of the situation the repair shop said they could repair my bumper for right about $450, I'm thinking instead of putting money into the stock bumper just buy a heavy aftermarket one as I've been mulling over the idea for a little while already.


Are there any good heavy duty front bumpers out there that are around $1000 or less? Browsing threw the web the starting price for pretty much anything that interests me is $1500 at least... way too much for just a bumper. If I were to look for a used bumper where is a good place to search?

Road Armor, N-Fab, Addictive Desert Designs, Iron Cross, maybe in that list you can find something on your price range. Also factor in freight cost's, as that can get pretty expensive on its own

Ranch Hand or Frontier would be a good start. Last I looked they were about $1100

How are Iron cross bumpers? Is there a downside to them compared to other more expensive brands?

Agreed. I find them to be the most aesthetically appealing myself. The Frontier can be had for $850 online, and the Ranch Hand for ~$1000.

Ive always loved this thread about Iron Cross bumpers. Of course it's only one thread.

Ali Arc! They're a little more though. I was quoted $1100 for a slightly used one they had. I had one on my Pete and it took out a few deer and it showed no signs of anything every happening.

Not my truck-

My truck was a used fleet truck from Texas and it came with a ranch hand heavy duty bumper with the brush guard and I love it
