Wife really wanted the thunderstruck so I ordered it through a dealer. Fell through, I'm done with them (dealer and manufacturer).


Who else besides ranch hand, buckstop, frontier, and fag four is there?

She doesn't like any of those and quite frankly neither do I.

Needs to be winch mount.

Don't want it sticking out...like a ranch hand.

Anyone got any outfits they know of that fit that bill? Maybe they're local to you?


The guy I wanted to build it out of Big Timber retired.
 
I had the same problem finding one I liked. Wound up going with a Move Embark kit.

Still sticks out quite a bit, but it’s the only way to fit a big winch without mounting it super low.

Only pictures I have are on the trail 😆

Take your fucking skirt off and build one yourself!

Don't know how to weld or fab? You will by the time you're done.

You're welcome.
Haha...I can weld and fab just fine. I don't have the time, or even the want to. I asked for an outfit to build it, not create more work for myself.


So, unless you have anything pertinent to this you can kindly go fuck yourself ya damn yooper snowback.:flipoff2:
 
Crummy is an industry term for the vehicle used to transport the village people to various locations in the forest. Travelalls or crew cabs or their more modern descendent, the excursion.
Called the brush. Not the forest:flipoff2:
 
Whats wrong with the factory bumper?
Nothing other than the dents. :lmao:

But, there's a lot of deer on the road and she's had some close calls. I've smoked a few over the years and have always had a grill guard or bumper and am glad I have. I told her I'd put a bumper on it and by God I'll do it. It's probably more for me cause I don't brake for animals. :lmao:
 
The only aftermarket bumper I've seen on a super duty that actually looked decent was an ARB

I like the ARB on the 1999-2007 Super Duties. I bought a used one a while ago to adapt to my 2011 as the ones they sell for the 2011-2016 are ass ugly.

If I had the money, I would buy one of these for my 2011. Not sure if they build them for the 1999-2006 trucks.

 

TDK looks close to that guy and they make a solid bumper.

These guys are local to me. They have a hell of a CNC plasma setup and stuff turns out good. Saw one of their bumpers take out a black Angus. They cut the brackets off, and put new ones on to go on the next truck. Truck was completely totaled but they didn't end up with a cow inside.


Move bumpers is also local. They're about half the thickness and have almost zero gussets.

My buddy used to work at AFW (where TDK owner learned and eventually bought all the equipment from). He put together one of moves "weld it yourself" kits. Said it was absolutely pathetic. He spent a day gusseting everything before he felt good about it.
 
Not any I know of in ne ok. Not sure I want them doing one for me either based off what I see around here. :lmao:

If you're around Big Timber, MT and want one brought down from TDK or Move let me know. I go through there every Sunday. Free shipping, as I typically have a long box truck that's never full.
 
Start prowling CL and FBMP for a used ARB or ADD. Those are the only 2 i have had on multiple vehicles and liked.

Haven't been to Big Timber in years. Not sure when I'll get up that way either. Appreciate the offer :beer:

I like the tdk. Wife likes it as well.
