where to buy trailready bumper

Wow. $950 for a front bumper and they can't even run their description through a spellchecker? Little things like that are what makes me so bitter.

Seriously, do a search and see what others here have to say. Lots of folks here have opinions and loyalties. Some folks even make their own accessories whenever possible. But a search is bound to give you some informative threads.

Yer not talking about that word "intergraded" are you ? If it is, I think it's the proper use for what the product description is conveying... and it passes my spell check just fine. Spelling really only counts during birth, death and taxes ... all the little things in between isn't worth bitterness. Who says Webster was right anyway.

It could be worse, you could live in a state run by "girly men"... and the average cost of a home is a half million.

That looks like a Hanson. I just ordered one from Rigid Fabrication. Rigidco.com They have changed the design from the pics on the website. Here are a couple of pics Terry from Rigid sent me.

imho for that price of $950,you can buy a mig welder and make your own and save a few hundred $'s.

why pay that kinda price when your just going to beat it up and scratch it on some rocks

I wouldn't pay that of price for a bumper which is why I am negotiating with my brain if I should build one or not, but the Bulletproof MFG bumpers are between $700 and $1000 as well. If someone doesn't want ot build there own spending a grand could be reasonable in there mind. If they hit a tree two seperate times that could cost over a grand in repairs, where as a a bumper that is a grand could save a lot more in the future. I'm not saying buy a bumper that is a grand, just that it might have its pro's as well as the con of being $$$$$$.
 
I'm pretty sure Bulletproof went out of business recently. Another good bumper company with similar initials (BPI Mfg in Colorado) recently sold it's bumper line to Poison Spyder Customs
