    Does anyone know if a 2012 to 2015 steel winch bumper will fit on a 2010? Is it possible to make it work with trimming or anything like that?

    I take it you're referring to the front bumper. To answer, yes it will fit with some slight modification. The hood, headlights, and the filler trim under the headlights will need to be replaced considering the design changed. I'm sure you could modify the new bumper to fit the older body style, but it would have some body gaps.

    Thank you. I was talking about the front. Someone is selling a 2012 2015 bumper but I have a 2010. I couldn't make it fit just by trimming the plastic underneath the headlights?

    Do you have any pictures? Or any information on the bumper? If it's aftermarket, it could potentially work with some modifications.

    I can't speak for that bumper specifically but I bought a 12-15 Pelfreybilt bumper off a guy that had it on his 2010. I have a picture somewhere I'll try to find it.

    Thanks man! I appreciate it. Do you know if he had any major issues getting it to fit?

    I can't say for sure because I only met him once but I assume he didn't have any issues because the only reason he sold it to me is because he was getting rid of the truck. When I met up with him his truck had the stock bumper back on and from what I could tell everything looked like it should.

    I think it's only slightly different to fit the headlight/grille lines better but all the mounting holes are the same. If you look in the green circles it covers the trim under his headlights slightly and it doesn't fit as tight around the sides to the fender as it would on a 12-15.

    I bet you could contact Relentless fab and they could tell you the exact differences and if it would work.

    I messaged Relentless and they told me no matter how good the deal I should buy the one for my year. They also said it wouldn't fit. I feel like I could get it to fit though.

    Only one way to find out for sure.

    You could always resell it if you can't make it work.

    I think you should go for it,at best you might have too a few small modifications,but the money you save over a new one would be worth it.
