TrailReady VS Road Armour Bumpers

[StewartsDragon]

I am looking into buying a Road Armour bumper for my 08 silverado, just wondering if anyone has it and what they think if they have the trailready one?

good question. I am looking at buying a new front and rear for my 2011 dodge 3500. Fab fours, throttle down customs, road armour and trail ready are all high on my list. But damnnit they aren't cheap.

hey sweld... nice bumper i have one on my 2009 sub... i hit a moose while going well over 120... bumper saved my life... best part was they removed it from the frame straigtened the framed put the bumper back on and didn't even have to fix it! Buck stop has my vote!

Had a road armour on my old truck. First one fit SO bad, nothing lined up and looked like crap. But on their dime, they shipped me a brand new one, which was decent. IIRC it was like 40% off retail price, I think in the end the bumper only costed like $1700 which isn't bad, shipping is like $300 alone. However the quality, is nothing spectacular. Here's some pics, and how bad the first one lined up, it actually broke part of the headlight from hitting it, and took some paint off the grill. But I got to keep the first one, not sure if they just forgot or it wasn't worth paying to ship back which got me a bit of coin in selling it.

Overall, I would build one myself before i'd pay that much again. I though they were much better built then they are. The bumper maybe weighted 140lbs my guess is, and I think in any decent impact it would of folded up like a tin can. For sure hold up 100x better then stock, but nothing like you'd expect from looking at them.

But as far as looks, on dodges anyway, I think they have everyone else beat by a mile.

Also, unless road armour has changed coatings expect to get it redone in less then a year, or it will look like crap with rust spots. Mine was starting to have rust spots in the frigging summer.

Man I miss that truck though Thanks for making me look at the pics again

I looked at them, wanted a lot more then road armour for a knockoff. For their full grill guard was like $2500 I think.

Ya likely with road armours regular prices, but they do regular 40% off sales.

I can't recall exactly but I am positive they are over $2000 for the full grill guard?

I went with an Iron Cross Front bumper, from Lacustoms, guys hooked me up good, and it fit pretty good with some minor grinding in order for it to fit nice flush and tight, How i like it. I will update come pics once i get them. I am very glad i went this route rather then putting it back to stock.
