Ranch Hand, as others have said, makes a great product.
My Son in Law put a locally built clone on a brand new Ram 350 4x4. Just a few weeks later, coming home from a charter steelhead fishing trip on the Salmon River near Whitebird Id, a whitetail doe and two fawns leaped out of the weeds alongside the road and committed suicide on the bumper.
They left a bit of blood to hose off of the rig. Otherwise the truck was undamaged. The bumper paid for itself that night. Not to mention that they make a hell of a winch mount.
Bolted? or welded to the frame?
Bolts will sheer off. Welds will not. An impact severe enough to sheer the mounting bolts would likely bend the frame and total the vehicle if the bumper were welded solid to the frame.
