Default Front Bumper

Quick question, besides Kennesaw Mountain, does anyone else make a front bumper for the D or the Dakota?
I want to add a bumper to my D but don't want something as heavy as the KM Wincher. I have a Multicarrier now and it adds quite a bit of weight to the back end of the rig.

Looking for a tubular bumber or something of the sort.

Thanks!

Hanson, Road Armor, many covers and more and more custom fabs showing up. PM project_dog on the DOC for one such fabricator. I don't think he is a user here.

I emailed Kennesaw and they make a prerunner that will fit he D. I'm going to go with that!!
Duranged408, That D looks very, very good!!
Can you tell me what kind of primer and paint you used?
Thanks

I think it was the krylon camo version paint, and for primer i used what was recomended by them. You'll notice the camo colored cans, just make sure to follow the directions and apply a few coats and you will be golden. I first tested it on a portion of unscuffed polished alum just to see how it would flake/look/what i'd expect to see if the rim was not prepped correctly, and it held up to a pressure washer pretty damn good.

As for Kennesaw's prerunners, just looking at their examples made me disgusted, and that was before looking at the prices i say stayyyy farrr away from them.. To get a correct looking prerunner style it'd cost you more than a my bumper or a wincher!

Per their site-
PreRunner Pricing:

Basic Model PreRunner bumper - $275

Options:

Shackle mounts - $40, pair
Winch mount - $60
Receiver hitch - $60
skid plate, steel - $75
skid plate, aluminum or stainless - $150
Grill guard hoop with light tabs - $85
Light guard hoops - $65
Lower support hoops with light tabs - $85
Side fill pieces - $75
