Im looking at buying a front end replacement and also a rear bumper replacement for my truck.
I like the Road Armours but they are way too expensive.
I like the Alien Patrol (same thing basiclly) and I like their prices better, but fear their customer service and shipping issues.
I like the Buckstops, a lot, and their prices, but have never seen one in person. How is their quality, anyone have one?
I also need to know about shipping options. I am in NY and have no dealers anywhere near me.
Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Jake

only bodyguard ones I could find are made by Setina. Are those the ones you're talking about? I could find anything good on their site.

Ok I found the bodyguard bumpers you were talking about but didnt like them too much, JMO.
I like the Reunel's too. But, their rears are very expensive. Buckstop seems to have the most resonable price on the rear bumpers.
I foresee shipping as the biggest obstacle right now. Any shipping experts out there?

I have had Ranch Hand on my last 2 trucks without any problems. On my 02 I nailed a Honda, and ****ed him up, but didnt even scratch my truck. Havent hit nothing in my new one but I am sure it is just as tough. I like the Ranch Hand rear because it retains the factory reciever hitch and has built in reverse lights.

I was just looking at the Ranchhands. I still like the look of the Buckstop Classic front the best. However, Ranchhands prices are hard to argue with. I may end up with a Buckstop front and Ranchhand rear. Although, that may increase shipping prices because I will have to pay shipping to two seperate entities.

buckstop don't make a rear bumper yet for the 07.5, said they were about five months out, forgot you have a 04. would like to keep factory hitch. bodyguards front bumper seems to be light weight, i like their rear one though.
