Off-Road Bumpers for Rangers....

I came across this company while on Pirate4x4. For fun I figured I'd searched to see if they made Ranger bumpers and they do have them listed. When you click to view a picture it's a picture of an F-150. If anybody is interested I guess you can inquire how much they run or if they really make them for Rangers. I saw pictures of one of their bumpers on a Colorado and they look pretty nice. I just thought I'd throw this out there for anybody interested.

I think that might be their first generation lights, not the Ranger, but the companies? It says first gen. lights by all the Fords.

I am not having any issues with FF

I am going to fire off an email to them to get some quotes, and maybe some pics.
On their FAQ page they said shipping is usually 100-300 bucks. Not too bad considering the size

There is a dealer on Pirate who was doing free shipping on these a few months back. Check the vendor area there if shipping is going to cost a lot maybe they can work you out a deal?

I got an email back from them. I guess punctuation isn't at the top of their list.
Hangs a little low for my liking, but besides that, it looks like a sick bumper

Hey there Bill. I was linked to your site via Ranger-Forums.com. After looking through your bumpers, I noticed that you have one for the Ford Ranger. Not many people make a bumper for this truck. In fact, us Ranger owners are pretty much ignored by the aftermarket world. Anyways, I am really interested in your bumper, but I didn't see any pics of it. Is there any way I could see what it would look like on a Ranger? Also, could I get a price quote as to what one of these bumpers will cost?

Cheers
Jeff

hello, sorry we dot not have any photos yet , we made the jig and the first bumper for the boarder patrol ,but trying to get photos is another thing , the ranger bumper looks like the colorado bumper it will come ready to install with our black shield paint , all the winch hook ups and the D rings are welded front and rear also it will have 2 , five inch light hole buckets with a tab so you can install extra lights and all made of 3/16 plate steel,,,, the normal cost is 1500 plus 180 shipping but this week during our google search sale the cost is 1300 with free shipping but if your truck looks good for photos i would take another 100 off if you promise to send alot of photos when you install it ,,,,,and we have the only bumpers with a lifetime smash warranty , it means that if you can brake it we will fix it at no cost to you except shipping ,,, forever ,,,, thanks and it will take 3 weeks or less to be made and shipped for the time you order it ,,,, thanks again,,,

$1500!! Damn, I could make about 20 bumpers out of 3/16" for that and by the last few I bet they would look pretty good from all the practice lol. sexy looking bumpers though.

If he is doing work for the .gov then that is where his price comes from, which we end up paying in the longrun. I think that bumper looks like crap for $1500. It should be gold plated for $1500.

well... I was told to come check out this site because there was a little rant about my products.... so I guess I will answer some questions, and put up some defense too...


there is no way you could make 20 bumpers in your garage out of 3/16th for the price of one of mine, you would be hard pressed factoring in just materials, not anything else, to get 2 in your garage for that price... go to any custom fab shop and ask for a bumper that is up to par with ours custom made and they will charge around 4k for it... we have custom guys calling us and buying our stuff with no logos and selling them as their own because they try and beat someones price and realize they will lose money after the fact... if you look at steel prices, they arent cheap right now... if you have the tools and have the skill and most of all the time to build something in your garage, by all means please do... you are one of the lucky few....

as for our bumpers... they are full 3/16th plate steel corner to corner mounts and all, there is no 12 gauge like the chinese made stuff that you can find for $300-$800 OUT THERE... there is no cutting of the frame what so ever, and they are engineered to have the best fitment around, we do not use filler plates ANYWHERE, it is made to fit the vehicle application you purchase it for... it comes standard with the light buckets, the shackle mounts and the winch mount... I do not try and rip you off and charge more for the "add-ons" which should be standard.... I also have 5 grille guard options which you can add on at additional cost if you so desire...

WE TAKE CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT ANYONE ELSE WILL THOUGH.... we offer a 100% lifetime smash warranty... i dont care if you run into a brick wall at 100 mph... if you find a way to bend or break this bumper, we will replace it at no charge except for shipping... we do not have any loopholes what so ever.... this is the last bumper you will ever have to buy (at least for your current truck)....

Now I didnt come on here to pimp or plug my products... I came on because I was asked to come on by a member... so I figured I would make sure have all the facts and information straight.... if you want any more information or what not, I can answer questions as long as the admin here dont mind me hanging around
