Bull bar/ brush guard for FX4

[DangerRanger8721]

I am struggling to find a bull bar or brush guard that will fit on a FX4….I’ve looked into Westin and Lund and both have told me they won’t fit because of interference with the skid plate. Has anyone successfully installed one on their FX4 and if so what was it?

More than just a brush guard, I have the ARB summit bumper which is a triple hoop steel hill bar. Compatible with radar cruise and a winch.

If you are looking for simple basic I would recommend ShockWorks. They have a nice bumper for the front that blends with the body well. It also doublels as a winch mount

Ranch Hand. Not sure how much difference, if any, the skid plate from a FX4 VS Tremor. Neighbor has same on FX4 Lariat.

Just crawled under. Plates and longer bolts, that use existing holes for tow hooks. No cutting of skid plate on Tremor addition. Holes are in frame, don’t know if non skid plate models have those bolt holes. Know there is a bracket to move front sensors

Did you use longer bolts so that you can reinstall the tow hooks?

hard to see from angle, yet bolts actually an inch or so longer even after everything reinstalled. Part of incl fed installation hardware.

It took some looking but I finally found the instructions and I saw what you’re talking about….everything else I’ve seen calls for the tow hooks to be removed

Take them off, actually go back on above brush guard bracket, then tighten down

Dealer installed mine, yet helped an elderly neighbor install some set up in his FX4. Just easier with 2 people

Well that’s nice. Not having to lose the tow hooks
