My son and I bought Buckstop front and rear bumpers for our '03 and '06 trucks. As Paul said, they are a great bumper, well built and well engineered. Install was a breeze. My only problem has been the Powder Coat finish, but they responded to the problem immediately and provided a remedy. Upon receiving my bumper, I noticed some slightly raised spots which, within a day or two, erupted into blisters. These little blisters popped and left me with what looked like rock chips, and the bumper hadn't even seen the road yet. Buckstop offered to replace the bumper, but I suggested that I would prefer to just have it repainted professionally locally. They sent me a check for the amount estimated by my local body shop within a few days. The bumpers will be prepared and painted this summer to match the silver paint on my truck. My son's bumper is holding up better, although the usual rock chips are starting to appear, but no rust. I am as pleased with their response to the problem as I am with the bumpers. JH
