The profile of this bumper has been designed with maximum ground clearance and approach angles put first. The bumper sits as high and tight to the front of the 1998-2007 Ford Courier, while the angled lower faces will smoothly slide over obstacles and ensure you do not get hung up on the trail. The side wings of this bumper wrap around to the front wheel wells and tie directly into the main frame mounting plates for true offroad protection. These side wings will take a serious hit without flexing or deflecting into the vehicle body. We know that most Ford Courier owners want to run oversized tires and more aggressive wheel offsets. This can create interference issues with the stock front bumper. We have thought ahead and specifically designed these bumper side wings to easily clear 37" tires. This bumper uses a total of 8 factory mounting points to solidly mount it to the frame. While this is certainly overkill, this distributes impact and winching forces evenly across your frame and makes for one of the strongest mounting interfaces of any bumper on the market.
We finished this bumper off with integrated light buckets for surface mount LED pod lights (custom light cut outs available by request), an integrated winch mount to accept all standard 8-12k lb winches with removable solenoids, and heavy duty 9/16" (15mm) thick recovery points that are placed directly in line with the Ford Courier frame to eliminate any leveraging effects. These recovery points are formed by laser cut steel plates that pass through the bumper shell and bolt directly to the Ford Courier frame as part of the bumper's main mounting brackets. The recovery points then get welded to the in and outside of the bumper shell. These factors all combine to form recovery points that minimize stress on your Ford Courier frame and are essentially indestructible! What could make this bumper even better? The low profile design has resulted in very reasonable weights of 96 lbs (43.5 kg) for the steel bumper and 47 lbs (21.4 kg) for the aluminum version. Considering that this bumper replaces your factory bumper and associated components 39.6 lbs (18 kg) , the resulting weight increase to your Ford Courier is negligible at best. This minimizes added stress on your vehicle, maintains precious payload capacity, and allows you to keep your factory suspension if desired.
