Default Black aftermarket bumper replacement


Does anybody have any recommedations on a good replacement for my front bumper on my 2010 FX4Crew? Nothing is wrong with the stock, I just want something a little tougher looking to go with the black grill, which I’m also planning on replacing soon with a raptor FORD style grill, or something similar in mesh. I was looking at these two below. Any thoughts?

It depends on the look you’re going for. I like the prerunner look so opted for a black prerunner style bumper. Then I modified it a little and added a hoop and light brackets for the look I wanted

Chris that is very sharp and similar to what I’m looking for. Where did you get your bumper if you don’t mind me asking?

It’s a bumper off eBay. Ran about $500 from DV8 offroad. Paint sucks so you’ll have to shoot with some good paint. Other than that I have no complaints

Ok thanks. And are those 37s you are running? If so, what do you have, a 6” lift?

I got the Iron Cross with the push bar. I had to replace the factory because a very nice person hit my truck in a parking garage and did not leave any information. So I decided to put something on there for him if/when he came back through. I wanted toughness behind the looks, but at the same time I didn't want to go as big as a full grill guard or a Ranch Hand front end replacement.

I never thought about the bumper for those same reasons but I get it now...I can see hownthe Iron Cross might send a good message for idiots not paying attention. Consider putting a black grill on your truck, I think that would compliment that bumper well.

Thanks! You got any recommendations for grills?
I don't know if they will get the message before they hit it, but they'll sure get it after! And all I'll have to do to fix mine is a can of Krylon!!!

I will eventually put the rear bumper on too. Right now it is factory chrome. I am digging the whole blacked out theme. Just got wheels and tires this weekend.

Where are you located? I have Iron Cross front and rear bumpers and would trade for stockers. Mine have some rust and would probably need powder-coated but you'd still be saving hundreds over buying them new. I am in northern VA.
