Looking for off road bumper

[BlackoutExpy]

I have an 06 and have been looking for off road bumper. I have seen pics of tactical armor group but their website doesnt work. Where can I find one similar to that

Yeah Tactical Armor Group shut down the business. I think it was just a one man operation and tons of disappointed customers that didn't get what they ordered. The problem with the Gen2 Expies is the lack of steel up front to support a big steel bumper. It's pretty soft till you get to the motor ....

I made one a while ago identical to how the stock bumper looks except for a winch mount behind the center with a low profile cut out and a reinforced skid plate to match while using 1/4 inch steel. A coworker bought it for his brother's f150 in the end but I did at least triple my money on it.

Seems like if you want anything decent for the Expeditions building your own is the only way to go

As ArmyRover said build your own is the only option.
I have already started some measurements and pondering on different ideas.
I'm gonna reinforce the front frame rails from the belly to the horns .
1/8 flat stock 4 sided wrap.
Then there will be a strong structure to carry the added weight.
Thinking of maybe 1/4 inch box tubing for main frame with 3/16 plate on to try n keep the weight down as possible..

Unfortunately I've just found there isn't a big off road market for these Expeditions. Sucks bc I'm sure they'd be a great "excursion" vehicle.

One thing I love about my old Jeep Wrangler, there's off-road markets everywhere for that thing lol. More so than OEM type replacement parts lol.

I've been looking around and realizing that for off road parts I have it much better with my Land Rovers. It may be somewhat expensive but you can get any of the parts you want. Sliders, bumpers, skid plates you name it.

I had custom bumpers built for my Explorer.

See if you can find a local fabricator/welder. I found the guy I used on Craigslist.

Maybe these guys have what you want? I'm looking to get one eventually too, but given the cost, I have some other stuff to do first.
