Smitty Rear Bumper Guard....where can I still find it?

I recently saw the SmittyBilt Rear Bumper Guard on ebay but in Stainless Steel and really liked it.

I am not sure where else to find it now since I think that item has been eliminate from their inventory.

I know a member on here has them in Black which is what I want, just for the rear.

In terms of looks, I think it would sit well with my herculiner covered bumpers.....I purely just want it as a push bar when I get blocked in......had to re-do the herculiner this spring from all the pushing (I get boxed in a corner spot too often by people parking the yellow)

Anyone think I'm nuts? lol But yes if anyone can help me.

here's what it looks like:

I thought he meant that other people where bumping into his truck.

I had a Thunderbird try to park under my hitch step the other day.

Chromed steel>fiberglass and plastic.

Like the lady's who was not 15 feet from the buggy return, but NNNNOOOOOOOOO she had to be a lazy B***H and turn the cart loose so it could roll into my truck.

I saw it happen, and I gave them what for as I was walking to my truck, but before I got to my truck to check for damage they jump in their F-150 and lock the doors and roll away.

That's ok, I got your plate numbers!

Edit

typos fixed

Buy a hitch step, or a 2" ball and make sure to get a key locked pin to deter thieves.


Most places here are not to bad, but there are some parking lots here that most cars (mustang/camaro) fill up and my truck is a little longer than they are so I have to use two spaces when I go there.

But I do try to park far down the parking lot, and if I can behind a buggy return.

I have found that the buggy return is the single safest area form buggy's.
Why?

because only 5% of people know how to use them!

haha lol thats funny....well my problem is people love to ram into me from behind when I'm stopped.....3 functional brake lights, not tinted or anything....I want something along the whole rear bumper to take the impact and I think this rear bumper guard is what I want but I can't find it anywhere other than ebay in silver...prefer black since it might be even more cheaper.

P.S. My other problem here is that my truck gets parked on the street and people love to box me in.....bumper to bumper almost, well in this case tow hooks to bumper and tow hitch to bumper (thats how close they park to me and I leave very early in the morning)......making it insanely difficult to get out....guess I should lift my truck more lol

here, these come in black or chrome, and are 36" long 3 foot?) should be close enough for what you are wanting.

I hardly ever parallel park anywhere but I am expert at it, so I rekon my hitch step will do.

If you don't have any luck, take a look at Waag. The make one. It's not stainless, but their products have held up well for me in the past.
