I need to get a new bumper soon, and since Oe equipment is gonna cost me so much I'd rather spend that money on somethinig better.

I'm not a huge fan of Pre-runner styling but the james duff bumpers look alot beefier than what I'm used to seeing.

Problem is they only have them for 93-97... How much different are the mounting points from those years to my `02 xlt??

is there something someone could fab for me to be able to mount that?

JD bump linky
thanks

 

I emailed them a long time ago and they said that the bumpers for newer model rangers would be out shortly so I say email them and ask about it.

 

you can fab up a way to mount it but its easier if you have a welder it will help

 

I really don't have any Metal fabbing skills or availability to anything, so I'd either have to go somewhere local or get one of the boys around here to fab me something.

I emailed them and got an email back that says " we're busy, don't be suprized if you never hear back from us" basically

 

i like the rear on the very bottom.

 

i got that E-MAIL also they usually reply in a few days.

 

How much different are the mounting points though? anyone know?

 

I put a 93-97 James Duff bumper on my 98 Ranger



All you have to do is get some 2.5" x 2.5" squair tube, cut the stock bumper mounts off the frame, then weld the tube inside the stock frame rails, then drill two holes on eather side, and bolt the bumper on, strong as hell and looks great

 

I can't weld... anyone close that can? I wanna buy this bad boy soon. what color should i paint it, or poweder coat it?

still no Email form Duffy

 

Damn andy if you didn't live halfway around the world from me i'd build you one and ship it to you.

 

just call them and ask. they are great people to deal with.
