Front Bumpers

[TheGuyWho]

I want an aggressive, off-road, heavy duty, front bumper. Something I could put a winch on. Something that says get the f*** out of my way or ill move you out of my way. Something like an ARB bumper (ARB doesn't make one), but something along those lines…
Ive got a 2002 XLT 4x4.

I have looked all over the internet, but I can't find the bumpers I like for our Expeditions. How close would the fit be if its for an F150? They look pretty similar to me…
Any recommendations/suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks.

I like your bumper btw, Im hoping to find something a little more aggressive or "tactical" looking. But if I cant Im going to go with something like yours.

So if I were to find a 97 bumper, theoretically it should fit my Expy, yes?

i dont think so. 97-98 have different bumpers. i also think the frame is a little different. but i'm not 100% sure. thats why im going to make my own bumper. all tube with a hidden winch. i think i have a drawing of it on in my pictures. haha

if you cant find bumpers you like, there are fab shops that can build anything you like. And if you are OC cali then there are lots around the LA area that can be reasonable.

here is a link to another forum im on that has pics of different bumpers that can be made.

yes 97-98 bumpers are different they have the "fangs"... but 99+ are the same well until the body changed

WTF!? That thing is like the front of a freight train!!! That was close, but I think thats just a little over the top. It definitely says "Get the f*** out of my way," but it also says Im a douche bag with a small *****. Hahahaha

Now that's what Im talking about!!! Those are awesome!!!

you can browse through the different bumpers for our trucks on iron bull. they make some that aren't "douchy" hahah. but yes, the guy on acora has a brother or cousin that fabs these and will be able to make you one. just gotta shoot him an email and he can get you all the info you need. he was going to make me some stuff but i am going to have to wait....you can always do the hidden winch mount behind your current bumper and put a brush guard on the front like i have. or you can look into RANCH HAND bumpers.

thats what i want to do! build bumpers and what not! but theres this guy around my house that has an iron bull "enforcer" bumper. he is 100% a ********* cause his lifted new model 1500 chevy is 2wd and the bumper looks so DUMB with it like that! like come on dude! it doesnt fit. and he rents from a townhouse apartment place. like dude that bumper cost you 2 months rent! haha

 

[nvycrmn]

yeah, the enforcer is "a little much" unless you have a beast of an f250. there is a guy on my other forum that designed and built his own and now the other companies are calling him for his design. but it is a lot liike the enforcer....too much for something like our trucks.

Ive been wondering, i know that standardly, the FX4 tries to come with the dark gray fender flares and front bumper cover, is there somewhere to specify that as a delete, or are you saying its gonna be solid blue, but with the gray fender flares and bumper?
