I know there have been a couple of threads regarding aftermarket bumpers and grilles that will actually stand up against things other than brush..


well what i researched today helps me and well a few others i think so i thought i would share:

Setina makes a PB400 -




I wanted more info so i contacted Setina:

"I have a 2003 Ford Ranger. Do you guys offer the PB400 for my truck? Will the PB400 allow me to push a vehicle at low speeds? How well does the PB400 Protect from Deer/Wildlife? How strong is the PB400 and the brakcets? Does it mount to the frame and gain its durability from the frame?


Just a few questions I figured I would before purchasing the product.

Thank you

Jaremy Cheetwood"



There reply sold me:

"We make pb400’s for the 03 Ranger, pushing vehicles off of roadways are what they were designed for. As far as the wildlife, I have no idea, I suppose it would all depend on what type of wildlife, I’m sure a deer, elk or moose would do considerable damage to other parts of your vehicle if it was the bumper that it came in contact with first.

They do mount to the frame.

I have found it for 199.95..

hope this helps everyone..

 

That's a great find. :)

 

Yeah i am glad you agree i think it would work really well for our trucks..


they also offer fender tabs to protect other areas.

 

I like the look of that bar

do you have the website?

i will have one but not till after christmass which sucks bad but i guess i have to wait and i am buying a edge bumber maybe sat to install....i am pumped about that pb400 its gunna be fun cause my friends all have beaters haha

 

hahah what sold me was this: "pushing vehicles off of roadways are what they were designed for"

 

hmm...I am going to have to take a closer look at this, thanks for the link!

 

Great find, I checked out the website, looks good!!!

 

Yeah great product.

Yeah the offer it also in a powder coated black which is what i would want.



They also offer group rates from setina.

 

I'm down to buy one. The Sheriff's Rangers at my school have the PB100 bar. I've wondered who makes it, and now I've found it.

The only thing I'm worried about is how does it interfere with the tow hooks?

Does the WAAG interfere with towhooks?

 

WAAG no..

 

cant wait till the next thread i see in a few months is titled "pushed a civic into a ditch that cut me off and they are now suing me"

 

haha that would be great

 

i like the look of that PB300... it looks more rugged... i think it would look better on the older rangers

 

Here's a chart from their webpage.

http://www.setina.com/Charts/Ford%20Vehicle%20Chart.pdf

It says the PB100, PB300, and PB400 will fit 2000 and up Rangers. My question...how is a 2000 Ranger's front end different from my 98 Ranger's front end?

 

well someone hurry up and buy it so i can see wat it looks like on our truck

 

where is a photoshop master when you need em?

 

best pic of it i could find on a vehicle

 

i want the gun rack that they make for the cops shot guns between the front seats, look sick in a ranger

 

ranger front end

 

I just emailed them about 98+ Rangers, ill wait and post when they reply guys okay??

 

We do not make the pb400 for the 1999 Ranger, apparently the brackets were different. You can purchase for a 2000 if you are certain the frame was the same.



Thank you for your interest in Setina products.

Yes i am inquiring about the PB400 Grill guard, Car pusher for a 1999 Ford Ranger.
I see on your website its only rated for 00+ rangers, how does this differ from 98-00 rangers, in which the Body design is the same??
I would like to know if it will fit my 99 ranger before i purchase thank you

Buy it! I want to see it in person before I make a decision. You be the guinea pig!
