Hey, people are going to buy what they want, and if there is a demand then good for the companies that can make money selling them!

That said, holy shit i would pay not to have something like the bumpers in this thread on my truck.

Looks like I didn't lay the sarcasm on thick enough.

You should tell your clients they bought the wrong truck instead of providing them with something thats going to kill the front end.

Putting that much weight on the front of a F150 is just asking for trouble. Everything up front is going to wear twice as fast as stock.

The last thing we need after the whole "bent frame" BS is a bunch more idiots complaining about their front ends falling apart because they added 300+lbs to it.

HEE HEE HEE yea remember it's a 3 peice frame,(actually 6 peice, both sides) that's a TOP perch bumper for sure ! HEE HEE

Back on topic: So Chris (very) If you like it, that's ALL that matters ! but what Perch are you on ? may need mid or top for the extra weight haning out front ?

How did you do Racing ?

Also that bumper may slow ya a bit
As for Deer if you get one of those wild skittish ones it just might come charging at ya and jump and go through a side window ? They crazy sometimes

The bumper is no were near 300lbs, I can lift it by myself. Fact of the matter is people use their raptors for more than just the desert. It's not my style but that doesn't mean I'm going to tell my customer it shouldn't be theirs either. Everyone has different style and taste - Thats a good thing.

Your ADD bumper does not look that heavy. And you did make it pretty cool looking. Sometimes you gotta do what pays, and make a customer happy. Hey you may stumble onto something here.

Looks great. Does it not have front tow hooks?

To the people who are saying what's wrong and right... It's really not fair for you to dictate what others like. Yes, you should give your opinion but your opinion isn't necessarily right.

Personally, I do not like the pre-runner style bumpers for the same exact reasons that VeryTalonted stated but that doesn't make that style bumper improper.

I am really not into racing my Raptor. It just my expensive DD.

I will not be doing this anytime soon (The guy want $1700 for it and that is CRAZY!) So I am going to wait until more companies have the bumper style I like which I assume will drive prices down. Most full bumper replacements of that style run $800-$1200 for other trucks. So I will wait.

I didn't have to be the first Raptor in Angelo, and I don't need to be the first with a "Deer Punch" on the front.

And yes my friend had a deer hit the door as he was driving. No bumper stops that.

And West Texas Off Road quoted me $150 to raise to the top perch, I am on the stock (bottom) perch.

Thanks again for the mature attitude.

Out here the "Heavy Duty" look on all trucks is in.

Heck I have seen spoiled college kids out here, flatbed their brand new Dodges (That I assume Momy and Daddy bought them) with no intention to ever have a reason to justify such a modification on a new truck.
