Rear Bumper Replacement Suggestions

My rig is about to go through a complete transformation. It's been a long time coming, but finally going to give it the attention it needs. I have a rack of stuff on order, but I need some suggestions/advice on the rear bumer replacement. I have some rust spots that have developed into holes so it's gotta go. Most replacements for the chrome OEM are in the neighborhood of $220 plus $40-$50 for shipping. Should I just go with that or are there other places out there that sell them more reasonable? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!

x2 on the marlin crawler. I'd buy one but to poor at the moment. I might wind up making a similar style bumper.

I like the Marlin crawler but I'd probably have to change my front as well for it to blend, right? I have stock chrome front and rear, but I'm open to aftermarket..

I'll be in the same ballpark soon enough and i'm probably gunna end up going for the marlin crawler. Its a hell of a deal, and they seem to be pretty strong

Yeah I've had people say, why don't you have a new front bumper? Money, money, money. It'd probably look amazing with a matching front bumper from MC, but it honestly still looks good with the stock one up front.

I think it would look fine without the front, too. It will have to for now...pockets are getting a little shallow since I need new wheels and tires as well. Plus, I have a black brush guard so maybe that will blend it a little better...
