Lets see your bumpers

[NorCalBronco]

$375 plus shipping for the modified ZJ bumper. Mike at Custom 4X4 Fabrication modified the bumper to Ranger specs - narrowed the winch box to fit out frame rails and brought his mounting plates in closer for the same reason. I made my own mounting brackets and I had already cut out my front crossmember. Mike is trying to find a local Ranger owner in Oklahoma City to get some new mounting brackets fabricated that will utilize the stock Ford mounting style. Check with Mike:

Well, I thought the same thing but then it all came down to whether I wanted a good looking bumper or one that would carry my winch while protecting the front of the truck offroad! Protection won!

Mounted bumper and the winch today...

I finished the little odds and ends today and mounted it with the winch, roller fair lead and fog lights.
I'm leaving it on for a day or two to make sure everything is O.K. I plan on pulling it off and sending it and my sliders to the sandblaster. After they're stripped and primed, a fresh coat of Dupont Imron epoxy enamel in matching Ford white! Finally getting near the end... thanks for all the ideas and support from everyone that helped.

A special thanks to Mike from Custom 4X4 Fabrication for making the Jeep bumper work on a Ranger!!!

Sweet looking bumper! Not that it needs it, and I'm probably being picky but do you think it would clean it up a lil bit to weld some small flat bar on edge on the sides to help fill in the gap under the lights, as the grill hangs lower? Please feel free to tell me to F' off if I'm outta line...lol

Thank you... I'm happy (almost)! It's just been going on for far too long - it'll be nice to get it done. As for the strips - "Camodown" over on Ranger-Forums did that to his but I think the brush guard helps mine. Also, there's a black plastic splash shield in there that I'm going to paint white to see if that helps. As someone else mentioned about Camo's - if you stick a strip on there, it may look like an afterthought! We'll see...

Nice! I just checked their site - which model is it that you used? They don't list a Ranger now... and an approx. price for everyone's benefit if you could please? Thanks!

 

[77'cj7]

They haven't made it for years, it was an actual ranger model. Believe the price was 700 for the bumper, and another hundred to get the grille guard added on.

Hey jimmyd your right up in mass? where abouts? do you do much wheeling?im in Rhode island and there are absolutely no trails to ride, and you wouldnt belive how annoying it is, not even the occasional cruise, if they catch us on a power line theyre writing tickets out. not to jack the thread or anything but i didnt realize there were many southern new england guys here, And the the truck looks absolutely awsome. im not a fan of caps on trucks, but with the lift and bumper, it looks perfect

Bumper Re-build

About 6 months ago i made this bumper but never finished it, just put it on the truck before tow points or the hoop, since i had plans for a winch later on. Well i got the winch now so its time to finish it!










I will post more pics next weekend when i get it Hercu-lined and on the truck.

 

[p-townranger]

did you make the front finders or did you buy them on the ranger

Powder coat!

After they're stripped and primed, a fresh coat of Dupont Imron epoxy enamel in matching Ford white! Finally getting near the end... thanks for all the ideas and support from everyone that helped.

I decided to powder coat instead of the Imron paint job. Dropped everything off today and it should be done by the weekend. If I get it all installed on Saturday, I'll post pictures Saturday night!

whats it costing ya to get that powdercoated jim?

$PwdrCoat$

Strip, sandblast, prime and powdercoat bumper, brush guard and 2 rock slider/steps = $475! I got 3 prices to just sandblast everything so I could paint it all and they ranged from $200 - $275, so I think I did O.K.!
