Any pre-runner/front tube bumpers

[1nastyobs]

I’m trying to do a front tube bumper kind of like a preunner. Let me see what y’all got

...back in the day, but doing a quick search, I'm not seeing one for sale anymore. I got mine from eithers JEGS, or Summit, well over 10 years ago. I liked it though.

Edit: a little more digging, and looks like they discontinued it a few years ago.

Why are all the good stuff for these trucks discontinued?!

 

[df2x4]

Because they're 20 years old.

I feel like we're in kind of a dead spot right now as far as parts availability. Old enough that lots of the factory parts are becoming discontinued, but not quite old enough that aftermarket suppliers are taking up all the slack. Some recent developments like the RideTech suspension kits inspire some hope, though.

I'm hoping someone starts making replacement dashes...

EDIT - On a related note to the OP though, a pre-runner tube bumper like what's in the picture of the second post seems like it would be pretty easy for a decent machine shop to weld up. That's where I'd start looking.

Yeah, I know, lol! I too have noticed that with parts right now.

I would dearly love to have one of these. I had the opportunity earlier this year to take some pictures and measurements of this one.

I'd love to get a bender and fab a bumper out of DOM tubing. It'd be mandatory if I ever moved back to MI. ******* deer are everywhere. A DOM tube bumper would be very sturdy without wrecking the ball joints every year like a fabbed winch bumper.

Try Off Road Warehouse in San Diego. They have a deal with Off Road Innovations. Bought mine last year from them.

You can rent a Greenlee "Sidewinder" conduit bender from US Rentals...
