Well here is how my day went. I installed my new Boondocks Bumper today. It turned out AMAZING with the Line-X. I am very pleased with it. I have to buy some Hella 500 lights for the buckets, and then i am buying two LightForce 240XGT lights. I think it will look great. Onto the pics. Let me know what you think.

Thats all folks.

-Curtis-

looks really good, i like the line-x

looks great, what made you decide to go with the lightforce over KC or PIAA or Hella?

Just put some shackles and maybe a winch and your set

I like the new bumper, but this poses a new question. What are you going to do with the brush guard now.....

looks t-rex rated....im still waiting on my rear bumper....hummm

I really like that bumper

looks great.....Just put some shackles and maybe a winch and your set

leave the shackels in the cab! they will damage the finish, get filled up with mud dirt and rust. Prevents retards from taking them for scrap iron.

cool dude... i think they are redicuously over sized though

That is awesome. This bumper is definitely on my to do list for the Bronco.

looks good...what are you going to do with the brush guard?

I prefered the stock bumper pic. I don't think the lines of the truck and the lines of the bumper do well for each other.

great looking bumper.

cool glad you like it. i have never liked the way the bumper goes under the lights.

Right now im not selling anything. Im still very unsure about this bumper.

That is actually one of the things I really like.

does not match the body lines on the front at all...just look at the grille.

I went and took better pictures. Im still unsure guys.

-Curtis-

I dont care for it for many reasons.

1. waaaaaaay to huge! if you actually want to go offroad its going to hang up on everything!

2. I hate how they have there logo and name cut into 3 places right in plan view. goddy IMO

31 does not even look like it fits the truck. does not follow the grill and headlights. the sides look horrible sticking out past and high on the fender


just my 2 cents...

I hear all 3 of those Dustin! I think a big orange sign will be going on it. But what do i do instead?

-Curtis-

I like these bumpers personaly

I like these bumpers personaly
http://www.alien-patrol.com/ford.html#f150_front

Those look nice. Looks beefy, but if I were going with a bumper that style, I would like to have JBG's. It still looks beefy, but seems to have A LOT more clearance and follows the body lines a tad bit better.

http://broncograveyard.com/images/catalog/9296BUMPER2.JPG





I havent been a fan of Boondocks work (sorry), too many logos, too large, and I dont like the lines of it. That just my opinion, but I wouldnt want that thing on my truck. Then again, I am also a fan of Pre-runner tube bumpers (for the front) like Yikes' and whatnot.

It's way too big and the it doesnt match the body lines at all

I looked at this last night, and im sure you paid more than a pretty penny for it, But i would be pissed.

The logos have got to go. Bumpers are one of those things, It its done right, people are going to ask about it anyway. Maybe a single logo in the middle wouldnt be so bad, but 3 is a bit extreme. The other thing is it looks like a 5 year old just picked random places on the front clip for the bumper to follow and called it good. It just doesnt look too well thought out.

The bumper looks like it was made for a dodge and put on a ford.

I dont like them never have. now that broncoair is making bumpers front and rear i might save pennies for those. or get my buddy to build me one if he has time. either that or i may place an order with davids78bronco i hear he does a great job

Well it will be going up forsale so now worries boys. Now the hard part.....finding someone to buy the ugly thing.

-Curtis-

Craigs list and get a new screen name / email addy for the ad so google doesn't pull up this thread.:thumbup

Oh and don't sweat the hassel of putting them on. I felt the same way after I just cut all my fenders on a blazer in 83 to slap on some bushwacker cutouts. Hated it before it ever left the driveway. It was fun learning to fill holes in sheetmetal after the POS's were ripped off.

Can't say that I like that. It was much better before.

I have found if Im not happy with something as I start building it Im not going to be happy later once its done. I have sorta a "thats badass" or :that looks like shit" feeling when working with new ideas. Thats why I dont draw stuff out most of the time. I get an idea in my head. go outside and start working the metal then change the whole idea before its done to get a result Im happy with. Ive scraped so many feet of tube from bad ideas its not even funny.

but yeah if your got that one your truck and right away didnt really dig it then your not going to no matter how many people say they like it or dont...

I think if there was a winch in the bumper and the light guard logos were cut out it would look better. Also might look better if the truck had like 40's on so the bumper wouldn't look so big.

I thought boondock had a different version of that bumper that followed the lines a little better,but i don't see either of the bumper on ther website any more.

I was thinking of getting BD's rear bumper but i going to wait to see what Broncoair comes out with.

Well it will be going up forsale so now worries boys. Now the hard part.....finding someone to buy the ugly thing.

-Curtis-

Hang on. You just bought it, liked it and now because a few people you've never met said it's ugly, you are going to sell it?

No i haven't liked it since it showed up and since i got it on the truck.

In the first post you said you were very pleased and 1 minute later, you posted the pics of it on your truck. Sounded like you really liked it when you started the thread.

How heavy is that monster

That bumper kicks *ss. The only problem is there is no room for a roller fairlead.

I was very pleased with the Line-X.

Hang on. You just bought it, liked it and now because a few people you've never met said it's ugly, you are going to sell it?

People change their minds all the time. At first glance, something could look good...but once you start looking at it more it looks terrible. And thats the case with this awful looking thing. I have stated this before in a different thread...that thing does not belong on a Bronco. It might work a bit better on the previous generation broncos...the more boxy style.

Go with what you had on in the beginning. That grill guard and brush guard look damn good on your rig.

If you decide to sell the original guard, send me a PM with what kinda money you are looking for.

I think he was referring to the Line-X that came out so well. I like the JBG bumper, and then the BroncoAir bumper... in that order. Too bad they both are over 1k. :cry

i like that rocksolid one that jbg sells

I like it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/lakemarykid/Truck%20stuff/IMG_3126.jpg

That pic just kicks ass in my opinion; if it was on MY truck, I'd probably cut it up and put the winch nearly where the Boondock emblem is, and fill in the lower hole, because where it dips for the grill looks like a perfect place for a winch to poke out.

I'd also chop those godawful foglight coveres out and put some simple round stock in place.

that and it looks like your truck is smiling now. :D

I like it.

Of course you like it, you have a powerwagon :goodfinge

I wont be selling my grille guard or chrome bumper. I am putting the chrome bumper back on today and will be painting my brush guard where there is some rust. I really need yall to help me sell this thing.

Stan, i really like the JBG bumper but, there is no spot for a roller fairlead and there are no shackle mounts. I need shackle mounts.

-Curtis-

try ebay.....some dude in texas will pay you in gold for that thing

Well when i do put it on ebay, what should i use as those keywords for when people search? I want to make this a successful ebay ad. Think i can get atleast 600 on ebay?

just put "custom front bumper" something like that. Include enough pics to get a good overview of it. describe what trucks it will fit. Make sure you say its been linxed, they will like it. Shipping it will be a pain, but yeah, i don't think $600 is unreasonable. Just set your reserve at that. or put a buy it now at 600. State how much you want for it in the auction

It looks to me like it's a superduty bumper, maybe I missed that in the discription.

Let me throw you this idea to make it look better. What iff you dropped the bumper down so the ends are where the stock bumper belongs and you put 4 6" KC's in the middle to cover the gap under the grill. I think it would look much better that way. I have thought of doing that with a stock superduty bumper a few times and wimped out on it.

Just a suggestion to save you some $$.

That JBG bumper is actually made by Protofab.

http://www.protofab4x4.com/products.php?ID=00&ID2=4

Ditching that thing was a good decision in my opinion. Good luck selling it. A lot of guys are into that style for the same reason anyone with taste isn't; should sell fine.

Excom, you will be even happier with my decision because selling it will give me money needed to complete my SAS. It sucks having to look at 37 PJ Dirt Grips and 9inch sky jacker coils and a D44 every day.

-Curtis-

not a big fan of how those look on our trucks. how much did it cost to get it line-x'd?

Of course you like it, you have a powerwagon :goodfinge

:brownbag

It cost 187.25 and that was only for the front but i got the guy to do both sides.

-Curtis-

Maybe you simply need another 4" of lift and some 44's with cutouts .. then it would fit






...........just another option , you ARE in Florida you know ;)

what was cost on the bumper?

I actually kind of like the bumper

Im with you it looks like a 98 and newer superduty bumper to me too!!!

Think it would bolt up?

Nothing worth having just bolts up. No it wouldnt but there's gotta be a way to make it.

It looks to me like it's a superduty bumper, maybe I missed that in the discription.

thats exactly what i thought.call them up and tell them they sent you the wrong bumper.you don't have a super duty.:thumbup
but seriously.....i'm sure there is someone out there that would sport it.:toothless

Man I really don't like these bumpers boondocks have got.

They're Fin huge and don't fit f-150s or broncos at all.

Sorry this is coming from a guy who was tired of waiting for people to build a good bumper for the pre 92 Broncos so I built my own.

that and it looks like your truck is smiling now. :D
:lolup :histerica

Mine had a frown once :cry
http://fordfuelinjection.com/bronco/BRONCO_crash.JPG

Should have had a bigass bumper then. :histerica

im not a fan of the Boondock front bumpers, but i do like the rears that they make...maybe if it was SO gargantuan...like tone it down a lil keeping the same shapes here and there and make it fit a bit better, and it could be a kick ass bumper...

ryan, how did that not pwn your frame? looks worse than my wreck

Bumper looks real cool ,I would change to grill and maybe put those Grate type light covers over them if you can find them.

I wish someone would buy the damn thing.

-Curtis-

Looks like it gives the truck a fat lip. I think that they would look better if the lines were toned down a bit, like jslax said.

Hope someone buys it from you.

You should bump your for sale thread occasionally.

I prefered the stock bumper pic. I don't think the lines of the truck and the lines of the bumper do well for each other.


i agree completly

but by itself the bumper looks good, just not on that truck...

also have you thought of doing a 2" body lift to make the bumper drop down?

looks heavy. id hate to take that on and off
