Low profile front bumper options

Nope, just bits and bobs. Several of them were high$ items, roof tents, suspension overhaul, big brake kit, etc.

Good news is I only bought a Scosche adapter, redline hood lifts, and some torx bits to clean up my bed bolts and d-rings. It was a close call.

 

...And some patches, and committed to a group buy on husky floor mats, and traded for a set of TRD off road wheels with bigger brand new BFG tires, and Bosch Icons (needed those bad), and an air freshener.

Ok that’s the truth, that’s it.

Dammit, 2 scosche adapters one single one double din...because I couldn’t change my mind fast enough for Amazon Prime shipping speed.

Ok that’s it.

 

kind of want one of these for my truck. I'm curious on where it mounts and if I would have to uninstall anything I currently have. I haven't found any install videos or pictures for it though

 

I’ll try and find some info, since I’m looking at them too.

 

Have you tried reaching behind the bumper and pushing it out?

I do like the 2015 idea with a recovery bar, but your "damage" doesn't look that bad.

 

Nope. I've had the truck for four days, and haven't done that yet. I've found my logic often suffers, because truck parts.

 

They mount with the two outside bolts that hold your bumper on, total of four bolts. Ten minute install.
Edit
Now that I have looked at your profile there might be a conflict with your winch carrier. It looks like the cutout for the pelfrey might run a bit high, in your shoes I would "stack" the two and figure out a way to make the fair lead work.

 

Nobody needs logic, it's the most overrated thing ever...

Got any pics of the whole truck? Better yet, start a build thread so you can document your progress. If you stay on here, progress is inevtiable and referred to as "Mods"

 

Never done one before, even though I tinker with stuff all the time. You know, what the hell? I'll give it a go. Here's a pic in the meantime...I have think of a thread title for the "build," LOL, if it will ever be worthy of that. Probably why I never started one...the damn name deal.

Wheels came with the truck...don't like them.

 

So @Chase8059 should I call it the ErrandRunner or the LowesRunner?

 

Do you have one of them? if so do you have install photos or where it mounts up?

 

Haha, whatever you want man. I didn't get creative with mine but it seems you got it about figured out

Those wheels aren't bad, larger tires would have made them look better

 

LOL, I've got new ones all ready. I'll call it the LowesRunner. My wife works there and I get a discount. I'm there about 3-4 times a week for the honey do list...should have bought her the truck.

 

I have run the avid separately on a 2nd and love them to death, it isn't quite the structural protection that you get from a full blown plate or tube bumper but they do use DOM and it is rather stout. As soon as I get back into country I will probably be doing a stacked system similar to the Pelfrey just a bit lower and without the plastic shroud on the front. I will bend up some plate to replace the front plastic and it will be held on the front of the truck by two trailer hitch carriers. The goal is to be able to pull off my plate "valance" to remove my winch when not in use, I don't like carrying around all the extra weight if I don't need to.

 

This isn't my ad but I can't imagine the guy would mind the free bump

If you look at the picture of the bumper you can see the bolt holes. Those are where you mount it on the outside of your aluminum crash bumper.

Here is the AVID...you can add the perforated metal and an additional lower cross bar

 

Wish they had the option when I got mne a few years ago. It looks really good!

 

I asked Brandon to do it. Another TW member had done it and said to contact Brandon which I did and he gave me a quote and built it for me
