Front Bumper

[Todd2016LT]

So the other day I tried to get to a parking spot and had to go over a snow pile to get to a parking spot and thought I had the ground clearance but the stupid plastic skirt under the front bumper got caught and got pulled off. So now I'm thinking do I replace it, leave it as is, or do an upgrade. I'm not thinking about a full bumper replacement but something like a skid plate or maybe a winch mount? Let me know if you have any ideas and pictures and prices would be great if you have done one yourself. First two pictures are of my truck, next are some ideas I'm thinking of

That should be covered under warranty. [emoji16]

Holy crap! Just how fast were you going into that parking space? Lol

 

I built this skid plate for mine.

It's not covered under warranty because it wasn't a defect from them. I wish it was. I'm hitting the 36k tomorrow to so that sucks

Lol I was just going a couple miles an hour in 4wd trying to get around it but slid a little and took the wrong angle over it and it happened. Made it to class on time though! lol I like that look. How much time and cost?

I like how this one looks but I hate that I lose the tow hooks because the one time I need them is after I lose them

I know - was just messing around. I have a ‘15 and love mine, but that front air damn does get in the way.

Unfortunately, I think the same way.  The reality is, I've been driving pickups for over 40 years and still waiting for the one time I'll need front tow hooks.  At least mine are chrome and add bling to the appearance! ;-)

SDHQ Racing makes one with cut outs for the tow hooks.

I'd have one if we didn't need front plates in VA!

This looks clean!

^^  Almost too clean.   I would want to protect it from scratches which almost defeats its purpose!
