Default Smitty Bilt

I recently saw the SmittyBilt Rear Bumper Guard on ebay but in Stainless Steel and really liked it.

I am not sure where else to find it now since I think that item has been eliminate from their inventory. I bought the truck less than 2 years ago so I missed out on this or my truck would've had it lol


I post about this on another F150 forum, but I figured I'd try many other places and maybe someone has one for sale or knows where I could find it.


It's called the SmittyBilt Predator Front Foglight Guard and Rear Bumper Guard. I found 2 locals that have it on their F150s including the 1st picture below. It looks really clean and allows me to keep my tow hooks and will look good with my body lifted truck.

If anyone knows of anything else similar to it let me know as well.

here's what it looks like:

From doing a little bit of research it seems like these may have been discontinued. Not sure why, I think they look badass! I want one now. I think your best bet is to try and find one used.

ah yeah I know! I have been hunting for months. I really one the one off that guy's black F150 since he's in NYC and has a winch and lights but I can't seem to reach out to him on f150 online yet.

Manik made another similar but I can't find it anymore either

Ya that sucks. Seems like the best add on protection other than a full replacement bumper are no longer on the market. We are left with crappy little bull bars and brush guards. I settled for a black bull bar to hold my off road lights, but I would by far prefer that smittybuilt Predator!

same here and I know one of those will just get mangled here since I park on the street....unlike the predators which would protect my foglights (which is all that matters) since I'm lifted.

I like the back one, but I'm not a huge fan of the front. I've seen one guy around me that has something similar, and I find that it just looks kind of goofy. I prefer either bull bars, a straight light bar, or a full bumper replacement. But thats just my opinion
