Hi all, just installed road armor front bumper. I think it looks great. I ordered it over 12 weeks ago. Ther was some slight problems with it. But that is to be expected considering Natally and jim and the rest of the guys I spoke with said I was the first one to have one on a titan. I told them I had to raise the mounting holes on the bumper side of the brackets and trim the core support at the frame horns to make the bumper sit proper level with the finders. Before I did that there was over a two inch gap between the bumper and the finders. I wasn't worried about it because it wasn't any structual cutting. They said they are going to remidy the problem, and thanked me for the help. I recommened to modify the bumper so the frame horns would not need to be cut, because most customers would not feel good about cutting up there new truck. In return for my problems they are throughing in a couple sets of piaas. I bought the bumper when they had a 25% off spechal on, It was less than a 1000.00 to the door.
I will post pics and mods soon.

i like the look of the road armor but the price is what makes it ugly for that much i would weld up my own and have more pride hanging it on the truck

I ripped off the Road Armor Bumper on our Project Everyday Titan. It happened while I was winching my Dodge Ram up onto a flatbed trailer. The Ramsey 9500-lb winch was not even working hard when the whole bumper came off the truck . On closer inspection I discovered the Titan's frame end caps simply could not take the force of the winch, and promply let go at each of the four welds. Now each frame rail has a large opening. I think Road Armor should re-think how they attach the winch bumper to the Titan Frame.
I will post more pics next week. For now here is a photo of how the road Armor bumper attaches to the Titan Frame. Notice the bracket the guy is holding up to the frame rail on the passenger side. Four bolts hold this bracket to the flat plate at the end of each frame rail. The bumper didn't even get a scratch when it came off.

This additional picture shows the Road Armor Bumper as we bolted it in place.
Essentially the bumper bracket is butted up against the end of each frame rail.
The factory metel is not very thick at that point.

Holy crap! That's how they chose to mount it?!?!?!?! They should have atleast incorporated the tow hook mounts in with that!

God bless the early adopters, for they spare the rest of us.

Wow! Kinda glad I havent bought one yet. I needed a bumper to replace my damaged stocker, and I thought the road armor looked good, but the price is out there. They need to get there s*#t together if they are gonna charge that kind of money.

What he said!!

For the price, the Kennesaw unit is a much better deal, IMHO. Looks better too. I'm a fan of things that appear stock, but aren't, and the Kennesaw, with the right paint job, could appear original.

OK, So I am looking for a heavy duty front bumper. I came across this website but cannot find any contact info. Is this guy ligit or what? Does anyone have one of these. Don't want to pay 3K for something my husband is just going to bend the Sh*#t out of....
