Steel bumpers or oem with grille gaurd

[jiggie]

Bringing up and old subject cause most of the posts are from like 5 years ago lol. Who is running steel front and rear bumpers on their obs rigs? I was thinking about just doing the ranch hand grille guard but decided i want big steel bumpers on the front and rear. Wondering what brands people have and how they have held up. Ive been looking at tough country but they seem pricy.

Steel bumpers > grille guards

Like Nathan said... a steel bumper replacement is better than a grille guard when it comes to protection.
Not too many companies out there still producing replacement bumpers for the OBS. Even fewer (read NONE) that make the rear bumper replacement for the Tahoe specifically.

I wanted matching front and rear also. After lots of research, I found www.movebumpers.com... but you have to know how to weld or have access to someone that can. Front is on, waiting on the weather to warm up and days to be longer so I can get the rear done.

Steel bumpers seem to be more popular today, at least among our customers. By the way, some modern steel bumpers come with built brush guards and push bars, so you basically get the best of both worlds.
