Old Ironbull Bumper Vs. New Ironbull Bumper

[RYDNHI4X4]

1st two pics are the new bumper. Last two are the old bumper.

What does everyone think? The old bumper actually mounted up a lot easier and quicker. The new bumper you will see how much spacing (3/4") I had to use to get the bumper level with the rest of the truck. Mounting brackets were a pain in the ass and would probably never own another Ironbull Bumper.

I like the looks of the new one better, The old one looks like you could go brushing with it. It should fit better than that.

 

[RYDNHI4X4]

The good thing was they did redesign the old bracket to something way better, but there customer service(Jesse Baldwin) is horrible. I keep trying to get a hold of Bill, but can't find him. There is a lot of other stuff about the old bumper I would like to release.

I think if / when my Bumper "Wears Out" I'll give Buckstop a shot.

$1700 is ALOT though for it, and that's why I didn't go with them this Time around. But I don't need all the stuff they give with the Classic, so maybe without it, it'll bring the Price Down.

Very true, those are pretty much all the bumpers I see here in TX.

James it's funny that when I see your avatar I almost think that I am looking at my truck by lowered. LOL

Looks pretty good Steve. Having to put the spacers in there is lame though...:nono:

I had to Shim mine as well.

I still like the old one better, but I am sure the new one will grow on me especially after and when I decide to get a winch.

What did you do with the old one Steve?

 

[RYDNHI4X4]

I still have it sitting in the garage. Ironbull want's me to cut it up and sell the scrap metal. They DO NOT want me to resale it.

 

[SfcJones]

I wouldn't sell it, You will get more money out of it by reselling it to someone else at a good price than what junkyard metals are going for right now. Why would they want you to scrap it???? Strange....

New Rear Bumper

I decided to go with Bodyguard's rear bumper for my 2008 Chevy DMax. It is less radical than some of the other designs and blends in much better.
The fit exactly matches stock. There was no shimming or adapting.

Grant and Kelli are great to do business with!

That is pretty damn nice. Is it powdercoated or is that the Line-X stuff?

It really is.

I went to their Site, and it Looks pretty good. It's like a Blend of the Squared Off Style with the Areo Style of the IB.

 

[RYDNHI4X4]

Found out that it's a wrinkle look powdercoat. E-mailed them to find out if they would sell one in raw metal.

I think thats one of the best looking aftermarket back bumpers I've seen yet.

 

[CtChevy427]

If I ever go the after market route for a set of bumpers that's gonna be the vendor. That's really nice....

Agreed- it's not blocky looking at all. I'm impressed.

 

[Z79outlaw]

Your right about those gap, it doesnt even look like its supposed to fit on your truck.

 

[HemisAreSlow]

not gonna lie....that is a pretty sweet rear bumper....and steve I do like the way the new one looks a lot better than the old one..
