looks pretty damn good.:rock:

[Eagle 33]

its almost enoguh to make me want a 04-08 f150..... but not enough to give up on a diesel F350

[Bambibasher]

little too bulky for me. I like the road armor/alien patrol bumper better.

[Gearhead299]

a little bulky, but pretty cool :rockon_ford:

[Eagle 33]

it also had features you can't get on the road armor, like the front hitch and the enclosed winch area.... and still costs less.


the road armor with the grill guard is $2,385.00 and the buckstop is $1,749.00... a savings of $636

Sweet.... :rock::rock:

makes it look like a catfish:laugh:

[DeluxF150]

I dislike.

i wish they had finished product pictures..... like with all the welds done and smoothed, the light buckets actaually installed, and also powder coated.

[Panthers65]

not too bad, I hope the finishing will include welding the fender guards and NOT grinding the welds smooth. As long as their TIG welder is good, I love seeing a good TIG pattern in the parts. Looks kool and lets me know it's actually as strong as it looks.
I'd also curve the brush guard in closer to the hood some to get it a more Wrapped-around look. Other than that, seems to be a good lookin bumper, keeps the ground clearance good and looks Beef

[Eagle 33]

i also think it would look good without that grill guard.... and taking it off would save $200

[Bambibasher]

the alien patrol bumpers are by the guy that designed the road armor ones and went out on his own. He sells the same type bumpers for less than 1400

Little to agressive for a city truck, but if I lived where I could make use of it I would buy it.

now a days it seems like a bumper like that is needed for protection from city drivers! :rofl:
