Yeah, I've been calling around today to see if anyone can make me one custom.

I would ask them if they could make the bumper without those laser-cut Boondocks logos in the foglight openings.

I hate most of the buckstop bumpers, but they look 10x better than the boondock bumper, in my opinion.
I would look into having some fab me a custom bumper if I were to do it.

i dislike every one of those bumpers for the most part, i think the one posted from boondocks is OKAY but definetly not good looking by any means.


the people that get paid tons of money to design these truck actually do SOME things that look good haha.

If you were to get a bumper please dont line X it, that would add to the uglyness of the bumper. I dont think your truck is big enough to pull off the look of the bumper either.

Disagree, if you use it, then it's bad ***. And if it's lifted, they look NASTTYYYY. IMHO, They look misplaced on a non screw.

I looked at the Boondocks bumper when I replaced mine, but in the end, i liked the Warn better...



Warn doesn't make a bumper for the F150, so it may be irrelevant. I had mine Line-X'ed and couldn't be happier with it. I had it at the dealership today to have the instrument panel reprogrammed, and you should have seen the crowd around my truck. These bumpers may not be pretty, but they are functional and pictures don't do them justice. Everyone who sees mine in person is floored by the looks, and I am sure that the Boondocks would be the same. They are very impressive in person, but they don't photograph well.

Thanks. I was not trying to hijack the thread. I just wanted to let people know that no matter how good (or bad) these big bumpers look in pictures, that pictures do not do them justice. They always look better in person. I sent a picture of mine to a guy that I work with, and he said he wasn't sure if he liked it. He went outside during his lunch break and couldn't get back to my desk fast enough to tell me how good he thought it looked. He said that he didn't like it in the pictures, but that in person, it was awesome. That seems to be the general feeling about these bumpers though. They just don't photograph well, but are very impressive in person.

I love the Ranch Hand bumpers. They are extremely tough and functional. Does that one have the hitch receiver under the license plate?

Yeah, but I don't need the receiver.

I didn't mean to hijack the thread either, I was just curious to see if you had explored other brands.
