It's made at a local fab shop in Junction called Southwest Fabrications. They do a good job for a small mom and pop type shop. They've already put a couple of full bumper/guard replacements on our f250s. Look as good as any of the big name fabricators I've seen. Notice the Texas flag on the bottom rail

FYI on the Fab Fours.....I ran a rear bumper on my Jeep the powder coating was bad and after two upstate NY winters it started to get surface rust pretty bad....

I know you guys in Texas don't have to worry about all the crap they put on the roads up here but the salt and calcium made a mess out of that highly expensive bumper..

Just putting that info out there for those looking at a Fab Fours..

My choice will be the road armor bumper and if that doesn't take care of the deer itself then it I will take that chance. Those bumpers are incredibly strong.

N-FAB Pre Runner its fairly sturdy but I have not anything with it yet and not sure I want to either..





I don't think its meant for anything other than being a really expensive light holder..

How does this mount to the vehicle? Could you provide any pictures of the mount and mount location? Thanks!

Just not real sure how this, or any full replacement will look without a lift.
Personally I like this one. And I think it'll look just fine not lifted. I ran an ARB in my not lifted Tacoma for years. Worked great.

Seems to me that any full bumper replacement is going to be alot more sturdy than one that mounts in front of the bumper. Reason being the number of attachment points it has.

If a bumper only attaches at the tow hooks, it's just a big fancy shaped bar that will bend when it's hit.

Whereas a full reaplacement bumper mounts to the frame in multiple locations, making a triangle to the frame. Any triangle is going to be much sturdier than a bar.

Just something to think about.

I went with a Road Armor Steath with Lonestar guard. But I just ordered it last week, and don't have it yet. I plan on doing a write up about it once I get my hands on it.

I just don't trust the smaller brush guards, if I can push on the bars and they move, think what will happen when you hit a 200 lb deer going 60 mph. My brother in law had a Dodge ram that had a ranch hand guard on it, and the deer bent the bar that surrounds the light into the side of the truck, still broke the headlight and dented the crap out of the front fender.
