Maybe you should search the forum. I know that Andy's (Ranger_Interceptor) bumper should come up in your search

i say custom and build your own if you have any fab skills.. haha which i have very little of, but my dad built me front and rear bumpers for my s15 2-3 years ago and since im selling the s15 i said **** it and im taking them bumpers. and they are now going on my ranger. its made of 4 inch square steel tubing, tough bastard.

here's the rear bumper thats going on it:

im not a big fan of the front one, its too small so either i will put it back on my s15 or sell it to a buddy of mine for his s10 beater pos and build a bigger one that covers the ends of the frame rails. so put the stock front back on the ranger and the custom one on the back..

i probably would have left the stock one on the back but its crumpled a little bit and got a small dent and looks like crap. plus i wanted a beefier bumper in the back.


jazz921- i still say custom.. haha
