I recommend JCR Off Road or Off Road Fab if you want tuff on a budget. Hanson's if your pockets are really deep.

My ORF bumper has stood up to many pulls with an 8K winch and getting nailed by some dumb kid in the parking lot at work.

For the price, I'm really digging the protofab pre-runner non winch! What do you guys think about that one?

Build your own. Cost about $150 for materials. And a whole weekend of your time.

I like the ARB front bumpers, and JCR Offroad's also...Although Olympic has a pretty cool one that I seen.
As for the back, Wilderness and Rock Hard have some pretty cool swing away rears. For something just plain and simple, Warn has a nice plain one that works with aftermarket and factory hitches...
