A little late to the party. I had the bighorn chrome bumpers originally. I put a hammerhead bumper on a few years ago, and just recently lined my rear bumper. If it doesn't hold up, I'll pull the trigger on a matching rear. For the time being I think it looks better than the chrome.

I do like the OEM in black. Did you LINEX yourself?

I must be the only guy alive who likes the chrome bumpers and a truck with all appropriate badging. Lol

No... you're not. I also prefer the chrome bumpers. Most of the painted bumpers I see are littered with stone chips & scrapes. Chrome is FAR more durable. That said, I could do without the billboards on the front doors of my 2500... they're a little overdone, in my opinion. I could de-badge, but will probably just leave them til I trade up in a year or so.

View attachment 228822 I got a rear powdercoated OEM style bumper with steps integrated like the Chevy’s
View attachment 228821
gives it an offroad look without drawing too much attention.

That's what I'm talking about! They only thing I miss about my Chevy Silverado is the step bumper! Wife is 4 foot 11...so lack of step pi$$es her off! I know I can buy an accessory one, but I don't want to...so how do I get one to fit a 2018 Laramie with the giant OEM chromies?

Added a Rough Country rear bumper to my Rebel a month ago, heavier gauge steal and corner steps was my must have.

I’ve always liked how that bumper appears it could have been OEM. Also like that it comes with the two LED pod lights flush mounted. Have come close to purchasing for my Rebel a few times (in cart and started ordering) but never finalized order as it’s hard for me to spend that on bumper when I had other upgrades to do.

Looks great on your Rebel. Love that color too.

Check Americantrucks site, they have a selection of bumpers and grill guards for almost all budgets.

I have the Barricade HD rear from AmericanTrucks. Bough it with a $100 discount more than a year ago. I went with the plain vainilla version without the backup lights to save more, then later on i added my own pods to it. I wish it was at least 3/16" or thicker steel though, Americantrucks says it's 3mm steel which should be equivalent to 1/8" steel so it's adequate and it's supposed to be be double the thicknes of the factory one. It has worked great so far for the $400 and change i paid for it so i have no complaints. It doesn't have recovery points but since i have the tow package i can use the tow hitch for recoveries so it's not a big deal.
In my opinion it follows the line of the truck and asides from its price and weight (about 80lbs) it does literally what i wanted out the mod. it's got corner steps too but i haven't found myself using those very often so i wouldn't mind not having them at all if that was the case.

For the front i have a Chassis Unlimited Octane Winch bumper, 3/16" steel, HD recovery points, modular design and super light weight (95lbs) and provision for 6 pods and a 12k bumper. Current weight with everything is about 170lbs, this is with a Comp winch with synth rope which is about 40-50lbs ligther than its steel rope counterpart. i wanted something that was not bulky, not super heavy and winch ready. Couldn't be any happier with this model.
