[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Steel Bumper for 2007 Chevy Tahoe

Posted: 4/10/2014 2:20:32 PM EDT

I have a black 2007 Tahoe and I bent the shitty plastic bumper during all the snow we had by parking it nose-in at my Dad's house, and into the stacked 4"x4" parking space border he has there. It's creased up and I can't get it straight, so I have decided that maybe a steel bumper would be good.

Has anyone found a brand & model that works well and doesn't necessarily look like you're gearing up for the Paris-Dakar 1000?

FabFours makes a nice looking bumper that you can get without a grill guard. It still kind of looks like one of those beefy bumpers you may not want. Not many of these places seem to offer bumpers without giant grill guards.

Throw a Lund bar on it (with loud speakers, or siren) and be done with it.

Added bonus of a PA to tell other drivers what assholes they are.

That FabFours bumper is SUPER BEEFY, but all they have is a winch bumper and I don't have any intention of putting a winch on this truck. I appreciate the link though.

The Lund bar looks...interesting. Doesn't help me get rid of the ganked up look of what I have now though.

It looks like the Buckstop bumpers are all winch bumpers. I don't want a winch on my Tahoe, or a grille guard either.

I'm looking for something more low profile.

Anybody ever heard of these guys? http://www.tacticalarmorgroup.com

I like the looks of the "A" style, and their menu system to add only the things you want.

Looks nice

Checked out ARB? I hear they make some nice bumpers.

After my second major animal collision left me stranded in the middle of nowhere at -10 degrees, I wound up fabbing my own. Bought the steel' chop saw and MIG welder for less than many of the custom setups out there. Looks goofy as hell on My Camry though.

That's like truck nuts, for the front.

Nothing is gonna be light weight until you start looking at pre-runner tube bumpers. Iron Cross, Iron Bull, Fab Fours, Road Armor, ARB, etc. are all going to be 400+ lbs.

imho I would take the Fab Fours design, remove the upper portion, use thinner steel, "delete" a few panels and have a shop cut and weld it together. You can do the whole thing exact with cardboard then drop that off somewhere for cutting/welding.

I've always liked N-Fab's approach:
