Pros: Well built, sturdy, looks good
Cons: Slight pitting, rusting

Very solid product, has saved me front end damage more than a few times - sturdy, can take a hit, and reliable. Looks great, fits the contour of the truck very well. Black powder coat. Only problems I've had are slight pitting under the paint, and small rust spots coming through in a few areas, but if you pay attention to it and touch it up, it's not a big deal. Overall a good product which I would recommend.

Pros: Great look, saved a huge amount of damage
Cons: 5 years old, begining to rust, and is wearing away my bumper

Ive had one of these on my truck since i bought it in 97. Its Great. This is my second one because one day my dad drove my truck to work and got cliped good only damage was on this and my fender, would have really messed up my ride if i didnt have one. Thats the exact reasion why i got one, i do alot of mountain driving, and there's alot of morons out there i highly recomend this product. Plus it looks Bad Ass

Pros: Solid, useful, good extra mounting for lites
Cons: Lite weight tubing, not meant to replace the bumper, but add to it.

As soon as I got it, I coated it w/ Wal Mart's truck bed liner in a can. It's held up for about 7 years now. Only damage is where I tied a tow strap to it. Luckily I saw it start to bend before it was too late. Don't use it as a tow point! But man, it's great for romping around in the woods. Has saved my front end from tree damage more than once.
