All Pro rear bumper: opinions needed

[toyNG]

Anyone running an All Pro rear bumper? I have the opportunity to buy one used, but am somewhat hesitant since I've heard that the quality isn't as good as Marlin's. Anyone have any experience?

The GOOD: it is local and is selling for $175, which would save me about half the cost once you factor in shipping costs.

The BAD: it already has a dent from where the owner got hung up. I have seen people come down pretty hard on the Marlin and not dent it at all. The dent in the all-pro makes me already question it's strength.

thoughts?

THEY SUCK! THEY SUCK! THEY SUCK!
I had one on my truck and would Never put another one on. I can say I love the front but the rear SUCKS!
If you do buy it cut it apart and sleeve it for strength.

wow. pretty passionate about that. How did it suck? Did it not line up properly? Was the steel weak? Poor design? all of the above? thanks

They are weak. My bumper dented and I didn't even hit it very hard.

All of the above. I twisted the right side up by hitting a small rock and my truck doesn't weigh crap in the rear.

I would look into Marlins or Trail Gears bumpers
