My Buckstop bumpers were delivered two days ago. Yesterday were prep and paint. Today was install. The bumper is amazing. Super well built. I haven't put the rear on yet but that one is pretty simple. The front was a little more complex.

Also went ahead and installed the newer style grille and headlights to freshen up the front end. I went with Harley lights.

Ford emblem hasn't shown up yet. Hopefully soon!

uh oh:

 

That looks amazing, plus the fog lights look like they will light up the night. Do you know how much heavier your new set up is vs the stock bumper?

 

Thats a great looking setup! CONGRATS on a great addition to your Ex!

 

Jesus... that thing looks like it could smash through a planet.

 

I don't. Front and rear bumpers are 405lbs shipping weight. Take out 50lbs or so for the pallet. The rear bumper by my guess is about 100lbs. That leaves about 250lbs for front bumper, plus a 115lb winch.

Stock front stuff probably weighs a good 150lbs all together. The bottom blocker beam is about 50lbs and the bumper itself isn't all that light.

So, by my very rough estimates, about 220lbs over stock with winch?

 

Nice job, looks great!

 

Looks awesome.

BTW, the stock bumper is 44 lbs.

 

I guess I am just really weak. It felt heavy

Is that with all the brackets, trim, and other parts or just the face itself?

 

Not including the brackets, it's just long and bulky.

 

Damn that thing is nice!!!!!!

 

That's really nice looking.....how much farther does is stick out over stock?

 

WOW! that thing is awesome. That's what my front bumper wants to be when it grows up!! Holy *****.

Way to go, bro. Nice rig ya got there (the '05 grill is nice too).

Karl.

 

Honestly not as far as I expected, which I am happy about. Ill take a side shot tomorrow. It was too dark and cold by the time I finished up today.

 

Very nice!

 

Grille and lights - OEM or Aftermarket?
