Front End Replacement Bumper - Market Research

[TexasTea]

Love y'all. But that ironman is EXACTLY what I been looking for (minus the fogs but I can deal). If I go with one, that's the move for me.

Y’all be sure and use this link! The more documented feedback in this form, the more this potential bumper could align with the market!

We can use the link but it would also help for you to reference them to this because it's easier than having to retype it there. But I did send in a form, as for price range, base bumper with modularity around $1000- $1300, then the modular add ons being no more than say $500-$1000 depending on the add-on you wish to purchase and make it so they can purchase different ones as time goes. Just my thoughts. Customization for an individual to be able to do themselves without a lot of hard work sells products, they could also do a similar format for the bronco and ranger once the work out the design, they can even use a similar style for others such as Jeeps. First to market would be revolutionary.

Completed the form as well.

If you couldn't tell this idea has been in my head for some time, just as I have an idea for rock sliders as well and had actually worked on getting those into production till the shop got so busy with a contract they had to drop the work. Talked to a local machine shop about doing a possible one off for myself but they aren't fully capable to do it yet.

Something similar to this except with the design I am talking about you would just set it down into the posts and bolt it in place , those same posts would be used for the bull bars or grill guards and any number of other add-ons you wish to come up with, the design I am talking about would also allow the winch to be tucked in closer than a bolt onto the outside, and also stronger.

I appreciate y’all putting this in the link - and I will use the addl feedback on the forum. The Form is great because it compiles all the data neatly in an Excel that can be filtered and sorted by answers.

The bullnose type is something we offer, but looking at some addl modifications that make it more appealing to the Tremor community. Can’t please everyone but the wide swath of the Tremor market is what I’m after!

It is appreciated, and I get that the form is easier to compile, that's why I did the form it's just not as easy to state the why's and the what's. Look forward to seeing what comes from this.

Bumping this to try and get at least 5 more responses in the form!

Come on guys give some feedback whether you purchase or not this is an opportunity to get something designed for the Tremor!

 

[Wangchung83]

This isn’t much help but I agree with everything that has already been said. If I were to purchase I like the desert designs honeybadger, combine that with modular option and retain fog lights for those of us with high level packages and you have a winner. Just my opinion. There that’s 1 more for the quota

I'm all for keeping the factory sensors and lights. I have a 23 v8 402a. I'm getting ready to install a swarf works hidden winch bracket. It has been sitting on my bench for a couple of months. If Move bumpers made one that is weld up your own that included cutouts for all the factory sensors and lights, that would be awesome. Make one with an aluminum kit and take my money!

Steel or aluminum weld up your own kit please!

 

[Tremgineer]

How about making it out of Aluminum?

All the steel ones rust for those of us in the salt climates.

The only reason I'd want to keep the factory fogs, which are pathetic, is for the cornering light option with the adaptive headlights. I most definitely would like to be able to add auxiliary spot/flood/fog lights to the bumper. The ability to add a winch would be awesome. Lastly, the bumper needs to be compatible with the distance sensors, cameras, and airbag sensors. If the bumper either retains current approach clearance of improves clearance, that would be great; it should not make it worse than stock.

FYI the factory fogs are far from pathetic... Once you aim them, since apparently Ford skipped this step at the factory.

Also of note, I talked to an ARB rep this weekend and he says an F150 bumper is on the way this year.

I really like the Ironman, but I'll wait to see the ARB, and will be choosing between those two.

 

[SP1]

Like everyone I would like something that retains the sensors. Fogs as long as they match the look of the truck like a 2 piece yellow fog / clear driving combo would be nice. I would love a bumper modeled after the Raptor bumper but made to fit a standard F150 and Tremor. More corner clearance for approach angle while still coming just 1/2-1” past the fender edge so it will integrate with or without fender flares. Like others I prefer a bumper that doesn’t just look like someone made it in a garage with tubing or plate steel. Modular design preferred so if part is damaged that part can be replaced (left, center, right main pieces). Prepared for optional light bar. Paintable or bedliner coated option. I hope that helps.

 

[SpaceWhiteF150]

Filled out the form, have been wanting a good looking aftermarket option!

 

[TexasTea]

Why would you want the factory fog lamps? I sold mine immediately.

There are adapters that let you interface a cube light to the factory harness. I think this both looks cooler and will give you a much better range of lighting options.

I like the OEM look I suppose. And I like the DRL connecting the upper to lower

 

[TexasTea]

I'm eying the ADD Stealth Fighter + Winch bumper. It's light, gives you more clearance and maintains factory parking sensors (although I have none because I don't need them) and it has a much improves skid plate of which I have already destroyed my factory one. Also allows for a 10inch light bar on either side to, which is an improvement over my dual cube light setup and a 40" light bar. Simple, yet elegant and is built to take a beating.

I'm not a fan of brush-bars unless you have a deer problem and need to protect your radiator. Too heavy, too bulky and restrict airflow to a vehicle that already suffers from it due to the active air system.

Please tell me where doesn't have deer and wildlife on the road at night?!?!?

 

[TexasTea]

Oh there is plenty but that's what insurance is for. :troll_face:

[And driving with very bright lights to catching things before they come out]

Insurance check won't buy me another truck though.... Agree on as many lights as possible when backcountry
