    Nice! That's one of the better explosions I've seen paint a truck

    yikes, things have changed that's for sure. It was only a few hundred dollars difference at the time.

    I have a really old Herd on mine. I don’t have the slam latch. Mine has the two eyebolts with a pin as described above. Haven’t hit anything yet but it is a beast.

    I could add a slam latch if I wanted and may someday. It would definitely make it more convenient.

    I’ve seen the Ali-Arc up close and in comparison I’d buy a Herd. However I’d take any of them over a trashed radiator, charge air cooler or AC parts etc.

    I am not sure what weight is added. Truck is 20600 without headache rack on it with herd 94’ 379

    I hit a very large deer in Avon, MT a few weeks ago. Hit at approx 58-60 mph. not a scratch on the bumper. spun it around and flipped into the ditch.

    the money I spent on the herd bumper saved my business.

    IMG_7063.jpeg IMG_7062.jpeg IMG_7061.jpeg IMG_7060.jpeg So, I made a decision on April 25th. It came 2 weeks ago. $6500 delivered. With slam latch. And center tow pin. Herd it is.

    Jackson Group Peterbilt in the Intermountain west are dealers for Herd and Magnum for price comparison if you get out this way.
