Rough Country Front Bumper

[the5Gmartian]

I was on their website randomly today and stumbled across this: Ford Heavy-Duty Front LED Bumper (19-21 Ranger) | Rough Country

I really like the look and the fact that all of the lights are included in the price. Plus, it retains the factory proximity sensors and the price is right. Thoughts?

Looks good but where's the opening for the intercooler?

Crazy!

It looks cool...probably the best looking aftermarket bumper I've seen for the ranger yet.

I'm not sure it offers much more over the factory bumper other than the lights and may affect cooling.

Looks pretty sweet but would be cooler if you could mount a winch somewhere. Even a removable one.

Agreed.

That's a good point. I was only looking at the vents on the bottom, but there isn't any opening like the ARB or the WARN

Installed mine yesterday, I love the look. Plenty of room behind the bumper to install winch behind the center light, will need to modify front for winch line but other than that I really like it.

That looks awesome!! Beautiful truck. Have you noticed your truck running any warmer? Also, how do the lights wire up?

I see you have the front sensors, do you have the Autonomous cruise control or whatever they call it? Trying to figure where that sensor goes...

Intercooler gets its airflow through the grill. There is nothing behind the bumper that forces any kind of airflow up to the IC. It would however look to possibly block airflow to the lower part of the radiator. Simply not using the middle light bar looks like that would be resolved if it were to prove to be an issue. I like it. good altenative to just a plain stock bumper.

Looks like we have the similar overland builds going on. I’m looking at the ADD front bumper with winch.

Thanks for the clarification of the intercooler.

Adding this bumper is yet another modification that could void your engine warranty, due to the design restricting air flow, compared to factory OEM. I wonder how many people know.... or even care?

Caveat Emptor.

No overheating issues. Wires outside lights to fog light and center light wires independent

Looks like the bumper has 2 grill locations on the bottom just above the skid plate, this may be to allow airflow through in place of the main opening in the front that has the lightbar.

They have a bracket included to move sensor for cruise.
