Swapping Edge Painted Bumpers for XLT Bumpers
 

I miss my old Chrome XLT bumpers and I was wondering how hard it is to swap them out. I presume they are the same style, one's painted, one's chrome.

should be pretty easy, tho the boltsd i believe have lok tight crap on them so they maybe a bit of a btch to get out

I removed a pair of front tow hooks from a smashed up Edge. They had orange loktite on them. Mother of God....

Dude if you wanna swap bumpers with me, I will definately swap with you, I have the XLT chrome with the gray palstic valance. I dont have the lights mounted on it anymore BTW. And i am not to far from raleigh either

here is a pic:

yeah the thread lock really sucks. i had to take my bumper and tow hooks off to mount my waag bar. good luck though, fairly simple.

I think he just wants the chrome part....

Its not too hard, but like everyone elese was saying, Ford locktight's the sh*t out of the bolts. Just take your time with it.

I have never done it but I have seen the chrome part on a few Edges I know there is somebody on here with a red Ranger w/ the chrome bumper and it looks pretty sweet, If you get the oppertunity, DO IT!

Hell i will even trade hoods and grilles if you want LOL

Wow, thanks for the offer. Um, I just want the chrome part. The problem is whoever had my truck before I purchased it used messed up the rear bumper, the the one currently on the truck is a replacement, and needs touchup work. I wouldn't want to trade with someone and have him getting the short end of the deal...that's not right.

well if you are going to be at bobs party i will look at it and we will go from there cool man?

uh, when's the party? Realize I'm in Texas. I'm FROM Raleigh and am going back to visit this weekend.

This Sunday In Fuquay Varina, Sorry I didnt realize you were in texas.

BTW anytime youre are in toen just let me know and we will see what we can do about this swap if you still wanna do it and if youre rear bumper is black a little touchup wont bother me if you wanna trade that one too. Cool man l8r dve
