As the title says, has anyone ever seen one advertised? I know some companies will build whatever you desire but I don't need that. I'm in the market for something after I cracked a deer going between 55 and 60. Thankfully the grille guard I had took most of the impact without a scratch amazingly, but the bumper cover didn't do as well. I'm between getting a new plastic cover or going all out tearing the plastic off and most likely building a custom bumper. I haven't seen any bumpers out for these things, just curious if anyone has before I go though with building a custom one,

Search Pirate.com or Ebay. There is a guy who makes custom bumbers for the exploder. Just search Ebay with Explorer winch bump. He might be the same guy on Pirate.com but I can't remember.
 
I've searched for days already, not much of anything. These aren't really popular offroaders due to the electronic crap they have and the suspension isn't all that great to work with. There are only a couple built up ones I've seen. People/places are willing to make me a custom one which I can do that; I was looking for something out there bolt on. I'll end my search and break out the tools.

If you do find one it will cost a bunch. You can add a Jeep bumper with some fabrication. Smittybilt has nice bumbers and they will fit the Ranger. Make your own bumper brackets and mount it up.
 
I've seen some use other bumpers too. I was between fixing this back to stock, a bolt on aftermarket, or a true custom bumper that has to be bolt on as well. It will have to sit for a few weeks til I have the time. I'll have to remember to put some pictures up when I'm finished.
