Yesterday, my truck was a victim of a rear-end collision in a congested construction zone on an expressway heading north on my trip to Moose River Plains.

Once my truck is rebuilt, I am thinking of having the rear bumpere replaced with an off-road bumper, because the factory Chevy bumpers are magnets for dings and dents -- and the shiny chrome looks awful with the smallest amount of damage. I know most of the oil and gas company trucks in Pennsylvania have those hefty off-road bumpers and the black bumpers hide routine low-speed damage caused by working in heavy construction.

Any suggestions on what brand of off-road (rear) bumper to buy? I'm willing to pay for something durable. I might eventually do a front-bumper too, but that's a few years off. I generally do not run into things in woods. I will be also putting a six-inch suspension lift on my truck next month, although after the accident, I am damn sure I will never do a body lift on a pickup ...
