Front Bumper

[spenpet]

Well...as good as these 4x4's handle in the snow, they are no match for a downhill slope heading to a stop sign...DOH! I just bumped a guy his keep Cherokee is completely fine, but somehow I need a new bumper...geez...

 

I have the Z71 in my sig that had all the sensors and whatnot... I could could back stock, but since I need a new one, might as well ask what y'all recommend (being st least somewhat budget conscious). I don't need a winch or extra light bars, and again I need to get one that will hold all the parking and forward colission sensors...

 

Might as well upgrade a bit?

 

Tell me what you got and/or recommend. (Pics and prices would be awesome too!)

 

Thanks in advance!

only custom options would be to get an aftermarket steel bumper. Being that you need one with holes for parking sensors and such, be prepared to spend about $1200 unpainted. Assuming insurance is paying for it, I doubt they will pay for a part that isnt OEM and costs more than OEM. Unless you know the body shop and can have them order the aftermarket bumper and pay the difference in price.

 

Check realtruck.com they have a few options.

I think you'll have problems "upgrading" on a budget. If you are not looking to add a winch or other accessories, I personally think a new OEM bumper will be the best improvement for your truck.

I like the iron cross rs bumper but I'm not sure if they offer it for the 16-17 yet or the motion sensors are an option. You are looking at $1,000 to $2,600 for a powder coated black after market bumper (depending on brand you want) With some insurance companies you can take the cash value of the damage and replace the parts yourself.

This site has a list of some of the available bumpers for your truck.

Thanks everyone... probably not going through insurance on this one... but I guess I'll have to check out prices to see...

 

I know the beefier bumpers will be more... I just don't want to spend $2k+...

 

I have seen the RS from Iron Cross and I do like those a lot... beefier, yet not to outrageously large... I think if I can get that one it would be cool.

Without future plans for a winch or more lights, I'd probably stick with stock. Just an overall clean looking setup.

Ranch Hand....accepts parking sensors.

X2 for Iron Cross. About $1k and you'll need new foglights w/ aftermarket bumpers.

I emailed iron cross and they responded...they said the RS is not available for my truck, but that one is (the series 40)...that one looks pretty good...any chance anyone has that on their truck and can share pics? i don't think i would get the center light bar, but i would have to get the fog lights...

You could still get a cheap LED bar if you wanted to fill that spot.

 

Here's the foglights shown on the bumper.

the fog lights look good...but seem a bit on the high side...do you know of another option for that spot? or do i just have to bite the bullet and try to sell my OEM factory LED fog lamps?

 

also, I looked back at the iron cross web site, and it appears that the bumper does come (or has the option to come with) a panel to fill that void if you do not get a light bar in the middle...

 

that bumper is definitely growing on me for sure...

I have a Ranch Hand on my 2015 with sensors and using factory fog lights. I found it online for $925 so the guy where I bought it matched the price. I like it because has grill gaurd also and there are A LOT of deer where I live.

I'd bite the bullet and sell the the OEM bumper/fog lights for what you can.

 

I looked into other options, but you run into the problem that not many people make good 3"x6" LED foglights.

 

You could go Rigid and dual mount two 3x3" cubes in there, but you would most likely need a bracket, and this would be more expensive than the Iron Cross ones by far.

 

I'd go Iron Cross fogs as long as they're street legal.
