Default Gem bumper guards









Any idea what these will fit? I was hoping they would fit mine but I guess not this bumper. Box says for bumpers with impact strips but I don’t know if it’s the original box. Hell I don’t even know if this is the original bumper for this truck, the rear had a deep drop bumper I swapped out for a regular style.

I have them on the stock front bumper of my 87 F150. Installed them probably 20 years ago.
I don't have the impact strips but they fit well for me.

I guess I just need to go up to random obs bumpers and see what fits because these don’t fit mine, the bottom hook part doesn’t seem to clear the bottom of the bumper. Too small.

It does look like those may not have been in the right box. Also they appear to be for a smaller bumper - maybe van or Ranger?

GEM Bumper Guards P/N 652-R78 (same version as you have but made for non-impact strip bumpers) doesn't look very similar to the bumper profile of yours either (ref eBay item number 275843391615)

Good luck trying to figure it out though. Is it returnable?

I paid $20 for them on marketplace so I’m not too upset.
