DOUBLE UP ON OFF-ROAD PROTECTION
FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS FROM HAMMERHEAD ARMOR OFFER A SOLID FRONT LINE OF DEFENCE AGAINST TOUGH TRAIL AND WORK CONDITIONS.
pickup trucks complete a variety of duties - be it work or play. Our Project 99 Super Duty is no different. We use it to tow, haul, plow snow, and other work-related tasks for our contracting business. We also use it for off-road trips whenever we get the chance.
One deficiency on any pick-up is having optimal front and rear protection from the hazards on job sites as well as off-road obstacles. Just before the wheeling season, our rig was outfitted with an aftermarket front bumper and winch, but the tow hooks were in an awkward location, and we knew there had to be better bumper and mounting options to meet our needs for the trails and our business. Additionally, the rear bumper was stock and while it was sturdy enough, it was constructed of only stamped metal, and one good knock against a rock or boulder would probably bend it pretty easily.
We had been looking at different options for a while and came across Hammerhead Armor, which offers a number of aftermarket parts and gear for a variety of vehicles. We quickly found what we were looking for and placed our order for its Front Winch Bumper/no brush guard and Rear Bumper Flush Mount unit.
Manufactured in Bay Springs, MS, Hammerhead’s bumpers are welded only by trained techs with an AWS D1.1 welding certification. This ensures they are quality built and built to last. The company also has a large dealer network in the US and parts of Canada (as well as Australia and Puerto Rico). Parts can also be ordered directly from the manufacturer at www.hammerheadarmor.com or 4WDSupply.us.
However, as Hammerhead only ships within the US, we had our order sent to the closest US city to us, which is Buffalo, NY.
It’s about a two-hour drive from where we reside in the Greater Toronto Area. As we are commercial vehicle operators and a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Carrier, we were able to pick up the order after it cleared customs and we paid the GST. Since Hammerhead’s products are made in the US, there isn’t duty on goods that are part of the United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement (USMCA).
Follow along as we install these new bumpers that not only offer added protection but enhanced the profile of our Project 99 Super Duty as well.
