I have been thinking about getting a full brush guard/replacement bumper for my 2019 F250. Normally, I would just go buy an ARB but they are not making one for the new F-250s. I mostly stick to fire roads, but my big reason for wanting a better front bumper/guard would be to prevent totaling my rig in low speed impact with deer or livestock on the rural backroads I drive regularly. Any recommendations?

Checkout LOD. Made in the YSA, Indiana to be exact.

Buckstop makes some quality stuff. Several different models of bumper with various levels of protection.
Thanks to you all for your quick responses. I like the look of this LOD:

A bit heavy but I’m also asking if they make one without the winch Mount.

The LOD shop is about 15-20 minutes from my house. He is a great guy. Very nice work.
I'm still thinking about the LOD. What would folks think about this full guard from Fab Four?

Heavy duty enough for a deer impact? Much less expensive for part and install. Obviously keeps the stock steel bumper.

I am thinking about this brand(for a Ram)I want a front receiver,when I asked ARB about a FR they didn't have any idea if it could work.

I ended up ordering the LOD with full guard in the end! Spendy but would appear to be the heaviest duty alternative I could find to ARB. Last thing I need as a full timer is to have my F250/Spacekap rig get totaled or put out of commission for weeks for repairs hitting a buck in rutting season coming up this Fall, lol.

Bumper looks good and relatively low weight. I wonder how long the bearings will last with all that negative offset on the Ford?I'm still thinking about the LOD. What would folks think about this full guard from Fab Four?

This is a long overdue rig project posting of a 2017+ F250/SpaceKap Diablo 8’ camper conversion! The genesis of the project was the desire to build a full-time luxury overland vehicle...on a reasonable budget and timeline! I previously owned a Jeep Patriot Trail Rated with Autohome Columbus...
