need a better bumper.

the bumper on my truck just sucks!Its made of plastic,and that makes me mad.Its a TRUCK!! not a kids toy,Yah,i know other bumpers from a forerunner can bolt on,But What I really want is a classic smittybilt double tube.Now THERES a REAL bumper.Why they didn,t make it for 95'& up is probably due to airbags, but I WANT ONE. They looked cool.Ive even seen the(arb?) winchbumber,but it weighs 500 lbs.,and i dont need a winch, Can anyone shoot us some links for bumper replacements?I want to recycle mine

Im with you. I have a 01 trd and those bumpers dont do anything. I was rolling in 1st gear when all the sudden i lock my brakes up because some guy hit the suv in front of him and he is trying to get away by backing up. I stop and the he hits my bumper.(Not very hard) He trys to drive off like nothing happened so I definetily pursue a vehicle chase while calling the cops. Well my 3.4 overpowers his dodge pickup whatever motor and he gives up. I get out to access the damage and the plastic was pulled down from my bumper about an inch. Sucks. Looks terrible. Sorry this did not help you but if there is a tube bumper for these trucks I will definetly invest.
