Ranger Stepside Bumpers by Custom 4x4 Fab - OK

[Scrambler82]

Custom 4x4 Fabrication of OK City has started prototype bumper production for a Stepside Rear Bumper.
No one is making a Ranger Steppie Rear Bumper so this guy is going out on a limb to get this done for the Ranger Community.

Prototype pieces are done and final measurements are being taken and the first bumper will be ready soon.

Any that owns or knows of someone that owns a Stepside Ranger and they are looking for a rear bumper put them in touch with Mike at C4x4.

My '04 Edge stepside came with a stepbumper. What is special about this one?
Please post some photos on here.

First it is HD, not the prototype, that is thin metal for forming.

It wraps around the side of the bed/outside fenders.

It does not have a tow hitch built in. (a plus IMHO)

Backup lights are spread to the max outside position for greater light dispersement.

Lip between sides for Line of Fire of other rear lights.

Pics I got in my e-mail were so small I couldn't even see them. Why don't you post some big pictures on here so we can all see it.

Here is the original posting on the other Ranger Forum.


Steppie Rear Bumper Project - Custom 4x4 Fab
I went for a while without a rear bumper, traded for one thanks to Pedro and now I have found someone to make a rear bumper, a heavy duty rear bumper that will not only protect the rear of the truck but the sides of the bed too.

I started it all when I replaced my styleside bed with a stepside bed. I had the original bumper that was too wide for a stepside, sold it and decide an aftermarket bumper was the only way to go, something rugged and well built.
The hunt was almost for nothing, I found a few companies/people but could never get anything going, either it was too much work or they needed the truck or all they wanted way too much money.

As some know I have a Custom 4x4 Fab (C4x4) front winch bumper, a great bumper, a good design, good manufacturing, good quality and not a flimsy thing that will crumple at first sign of stress. I wondered if C4x4 would make a rear bumper similar to the front one not only in quality but also in looks and I wanted some of my own ideas added in too.
Mike at C4x4 is and was very easy to talk too when I purchased my front bumper, got the bumper to me in short order and as I said before, one of the better bumpers I have seem, especially for the Ranger. I called him about the rear bumper and he wasn’t interested, a lot of front work, no guarantee on sales. As luck would have it, he decided to attempt what no one else would a rear bumper for the Ranger Stepside.

We talked and he asked for my information about what I wanted in a bumper and I sent him my ideas for what it should look like. Mike added in his own touches and designed a bumper that not only fits a Ranger Stepside but wraps around the sides some to protect the sides of the plastic bed.

First are picture of the Front Winch Bumper that you have seen in a number of photos, not from me but others that have these bumper. As you will see, good quality, a good HD Structure.

Here are the prototype Stepside Rear Bumper Picture, not for everyone but for a Steppie Owner a GOD sent:

The Top and Face are formed

The matching of the templet and the formed top/face

The Plate Mounting Location, it is shallower than other Step Bumper, there is no Trailer Hitch so there is no need for a large indent.

Full Face View showing wide spacing of backup lights for better light spread, Clevis Mount Locations, side ends are not installed.

Just to keep it straight, if someone missed this, this bumper is being made by Custom 4x4 Fabrication of OK not me.
Info will need to come from C4x4, that includes pricing which is not set yet.
Feel free to call, ask for Mike or wait until my Bumper is completed and I will post additional picture.

Nothing to really add.
Bumper is being built but C4x4 needs to make some money to stay alive so I will have to wait for the new year to see the finished product.

Will post finished bumper pics as soon as I can.

Mike does a great job, good quality, heavy metal, good welding and easy to talk to, all at a great price that most can afford.

If anyone is interested in an HD Plate Rear Bumper contact Mile at Custom 4x4 Fabrication; talk to him with your ideas.

Damn that looks heavy duty. I cant wait to see finished pics.

 

[Tuner710]

Me too! I have a 2000 stepside that may just look good on.

 

[daniel3507]

This is the same place that custom made that jeep bumper to fit on the ranger isn't it?

Yes it is !
Mike at C4x4 makes great stuff.
I am hoping he will move more in the Ranger direction for Skid Plates and Rock Sliders.

Here’s a couple of picture of the Front Ranger Bumper: ( I hope the owners of these truck do not mind me using their shots).

and another:

Contact him with any pricing or redesign questions.

I decided when I first saw the picture of the white ranger that's where I will go to have bumpers built. The quality looks incredible. Now I just need a reason to get a bumper haha.

 

[509lifted]

well daniel you could always hope someone steals your front bumper or that someone accidentally backs into your truck just enough to break the bumper haha
