I need to get a hitch on my rig, as somehow my truck with 'all the options' didn't come with a hitch or the towing package. Which means I should probably get an eletric fan setup too. But anyway...

I need to get a hitch, so I might as well get me an offroad rear bumper... Comments / suggestions / favorites?

I was poking around on Demello offroad and found the pre runner bumpers that I really liked... anyone put one of these on their truck?

Yeah I liked the AllPro one so much I modified one to fit my 93.

How much weight are you planning on towing? It's unrated as far as towing with it. But it can be beefed up to your heart's content with some extra steel. That's what I did:

Why follow the masses?

i'm only going to be towing the snowmachine trailer in the winter, and the ocasional person home from the trail. So I don't need anything super burly. I'm looking for a balance between protection and weight. I don't think that I need a bumper as burly as the armorology one, although it is beautilful.

The allpro bumper looks pretty good too, but the fact that it doesn't come rated to tow stuff is the reason I was looking at demello. Well, that and I know that demello makes bomber stuff. Anyone ever have demello let them down?

Although Demello is considered "cream of the crop"...for about half the cost the All-Pro is essentially the same bumper.
The entire hitch area is braced, plated, gusseted, etc. It's something you look at and know it was well made/designed.
I would bet $$$ you could tow anything safely up to 4,000 lbs.
They don't list towing numbers becuase of the expense in testing and liability.
