finally new bumper!!!

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

i ve been wanting the Edge/4x4 type bumper so bad, well, i finally did it
did some paint work to the ranger today. painted the grille, i painted it with spray can long time ago, and it was starting to look ugly, so i repainted today with automotive paint-mono layer ACS paint.
the rear bumper was scratched and had a rust spot,so i painted it too.
and the main adding today!! the new front bumper, i went with white bumper and stock gray valance. the old bumper was dented and had some rust bits

i didint paint it all white cuz a white valance wont look nice when road chipping starts

ok here are the shots
i still need to raise it a bit, and level it. fog lights will be there ASAP, also need to fab some new brackets for the bullbar.it was bolted to the bumper with some ugly brackets, but i wont drill the new bumper, im gonna install it with only the frame brackets
lemme know what ya think

look what i found hidden behind the front bumper

yeah when i was checking the truck at the car lot and saw the dented bumper the edge came to my mind... and when i knew it could fit i told myself i must have that bumper lol

Cool man

looks 100%better. wonder what it would look like if the screen behind the grill was painted black and the chrome bar was put back on?

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

yeah i was trying to cover the screen to keep it aluminium color, but it was to hard so i just painted it
ill try to paint it black later, but i kinda like it as it is.
im gonna put the bullbar back on ASAP!!! i like how it looks now, but i really want my bar on there lol!
i feel vulnerable driving without it

Looks way better man!!! Great job!! Hey was the new bumper direct fit with the old bracets? I currently dont have a bumper on mine, and I was debating on getting a newer style one for my '99. But I didnt know if they fit on the first try... Let me know bro. Thanx

where ya get the new front bumper and valance from?? i need a new one too!

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

thanks guys!

the bumper works fine with the old 99 brackets, but u may need to enlarge a bit the mounting hole so u can raise a bit more the bumper, im gonna do that this week. the gap between grille and bumper seems to much, im gonna raise it a bit more, just giving enough space for removing the turn light screws.
remember to get the bumper support brackets that cross it on both sides from top to bottom, that gives some strength, and it wont wave up and down when u push the corners, im gonna make the old bumper ones to fit it. im gonna post pics when i complete it-im installing fog lights also.

im in honduras, so its a brand new aftermarket replacement, but since im way far it wont help ya much lol
