What can i do for not alot of money too make it stronger? i need to be able to push thing without braking the plastic. There is nothing under the cover really. i want a brush gaurd but they are to expensive new. any ideas?

 

your 2wd bumper lol.. a 4x4 bumper isnt any stronger.. lol..

 

i have crawled through bushes and stuff, nothing is wrong with my bumper

 

i have tried to push my buddies truck when he need a new starter and it wasn't holding up its all plastic i hate it

 

ok i got a farfetched idea, just remove your bumper and weld a 3 inch steel bar to the front on like alot of wood/mud trucks, you could but the trunk of a civic on the drivers lap, i have seen it done

 

nice idea

 

yup and if i ever get a older ranger for a mud truck, that is the 1st thing i wll be doing to it

 

You mean valance or bumper? I have an edge bumper that I need to sell.

 

Yeah brush guard insn't gonna do you any better. Blocking brush and pushing a car is really different.

 

the 07 xlt bumpers have ne metal on them whatso ever its really gay.....how much for the edge bumber

 

The upper bumper should be metal, there is a plastic cover on top of it.

 

to answer your question, no. there is no cheap way to do it unless you want it looking ghetto fabulous...

 

Cant you fab like police push bars to a ranger?

 

You can fab anything if you have enough time and money.

 

key word 'money'.


as my dad says, "anything is possible with the right amount of money."

 

Well the push bars on a cop car i dont think would be a costly mod.. yo can pick up the bars for like 50 bucks.. and whatever it takes to weld em.

 

You can do this cheap...lol!!

 

lol..that's my next mod!!

 

It would look kick *** with that new RCD lift you just installed, I say do it!!!

 

Maybe in some high class ****, like teak wood or something!

 

use rail road ties
and once its installed commence to beating the **** out of it with crow bars.. then smear a dozen different colors of paint on it.. no one will go near your truck...

 

hahah wow.. next install spikes on it to..

 

theres an explorer around town with em so im sure somebody sells em, they dont look custom either

 

Hmmm police did use expeditions.. so i imagine explorers were used somewhere.

 

I believe my station has an old explorer with push bars on it. So ya they would work.
