My 1000-5 took a little roll into a tree and bent the stock bumper. I’m looking at replacing it with something a little better than stock but don’t want to spend too much $$$.

The Bad Dawg bumper appears to be built pretty well for around $300. The few reviews I was able to find seemed to back that up but also indicated that it may not always fit correctly at installation and might have clearance issues with oversized tires. I’m running stock tires and suspension, so that shouldn’t affect me.

Moose also has a bumper in the $300 range. It doesn’t look as heavy as the BD but I do like that it wraps around the headlights.

If anybody has any feedback on either of these or has any other suggestions in that price range or slightly higher, I would appreciate hearing it. Thanks in advance.

I did some searching but didn’t come up with much, so I took the lazy route of posting a new thread.

Here it is. It’s going to need some other work also, just not sure what all yet. Another rim for sure, if anybody has any stock take offs I’m in the market.

The problem with putting too HD of a bumper on you risk frame damage. I guarantee if the stock bumper was stronger you would have suffered more frame damage with that hit.

I’ve got a set of brand new less than 1 mile takeoffs from my 22. I’m in SE Tennessee though.

Be careful with the approach angle on the Bad Dawg bumper. Even with 30" tires when the bumper bumps rocks and logs it caves in. I had the same problem with the RD bumper.

The Warn bumper and plow mount are a lot more stout and offer better approach angle.

I'm looking for a top mount for the winch.

I run the Bad Dawg bumper and like it because of the winch mount. I had no problem mounting it. I am going to trim it narrower like @P1K5Dave did though. I run 28's and haven't cut a tire yet but I notice a little paint missing. Over all good value and happy.

No wings or bumper pull to mount lights on. The best bumper I've seen is on @EMAW's P1, of course he made it, I offered to wax his truck and S x S if he would consider building me one and pay him, he laughed. Think that is a no.
I am interested in seeing it if you have an easy available link? I couldn't find one in his profile.
