I am tired of ripping my front valance off of my stock height 2003 GMC Duramax 4x4 everytime i go off flat ground. I dont have time to build a bumper right now, wondering if you guys know of any good quality low cost bumpers out there. Dont need a bull bar, grill guard or winch mount... just a no frills, heavy duty bumper.

That looks nice. I would really like a bumper with less drop in front of the grill. I really like the bumper built by kennesaw mtn and they had a decent price but they want $200 for shipping. What do you have in cost of materials?

All toghether I have like $150 or so into the bumper. I started it on Monday and have 10 to 12 hours into over 4 days and still have a few hours of work left to finish it. Now my buddy has decided he wants a winch bumper so next week I'm gonna start over again :D

Don't buy from kennesaw mountain. He's a crook. A quick google search would tell you that.

Why would you have to start over, isn't that what the flat spot in the middle is for?

No, this one was not intended for a winch. I'm going to mount the winch back and down between the frame rails as much as possible. I like to keep things as low profile as I can. This one is getting painted and sold :D

How much are you planning on selling that bumper for?
