Stock. IMO most of those offroad bumpers look ridiculous.

You already paided 2 deductables I assume for insurance...a nice bullbar would be an investment IMO... but that may not solve your entire problem.

No I've done it out of pocket I'm tired of it. Deductibles too high to even think about it. Thinking about making my own... What do you think?

I've been looking at going with an Iron Cross,Fab Fours or Road armor type bumper for the exact reason you want one. Once my wife and I get our camper and start traveling more, I want to know the front end can take a good impact and still drive away.

Smoked a button buck going about 50. Not a scratch. Deer was a pile of goo.

I hit a deer with a truck that had a ranch hand bumper replacement and it didn't leave a mark. Also hit a deer with a ranch hand grill guard and it bent the grill guard back quite a bit. Had to use a come-along on it before I could open the hood. Full bumper replacement is ideal.

My buddies dad has a metal shop can get me materials cheap and next to nothing for labor he said I could have a custom tube and steel late bumper for less than 300$ with powder coat. Something similar to an add design

The problem is that once you buy one you'll never hit another deer lol
