Addictive Desert Designs ADD aftermarket front bumper for Ranger Raptor

[goalieThreeOne]

Looks like they completely disregarded the shutters and their intended purpose.

The shutters are to eek a couple fractions of a MPG on the highway. The guys that are using these are not concerned with MPG. These are the guys that need clearance for dunes and trails.

I had thought it was for proper cooling .....

Full size guys have been running these for year with no issues. For the guys that are concerned about charge temp, they get front mounted intercoolers that go in front of the radiator.

It's already in front of the radiator.

The shutters open and close depending on temperature. When closed, they help with aerodynamics. But when they’re open they allow more airflow. Basically you’re deleting the shutters so it’s open to the air full time.

I’m talking about directly behind the grill as opposed to lower down. I don’t know if that will be a thing for the Ranger, just sharing my knowledge from the Full Size.

Do you know if they have plans to make bumpers for the non-raptor rangers?

Unfortunately, The base Ranger is a Fascia style front, so an actual "bumper" might be difficult to design and mount..

The stock bumper is pretty nice looking this looks way worse

I truly appreciate your feedback. We actually designed and produce the Raptor front bumper, and a lot of thought went in to the design, etc..

Stock is much cleaner, I have seen some Aussie bumpers that look very nice but not this one.

I appreciate this bumper's coolness, but that's a pretty steep price. That said, on my last FJ, the aftermarket bumpers (front & back) made a night and day difference in the look of the vehicle. It really stood out against stock ones. But wow! by the time you add the aftermarket skid plates, adaptive cruise add-on etc., you're gonna be 4 large into this mod. Wish I had deep pockets... It is a quality product.

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of money people are willing to pay for these abominations. If I ever went with to an aftermarket bumper, it would be the framecut tube type.

Tubes are for jeeps. Never been a fan.

This is the SVC Offroad on my F150, if they do it like this it will be nice!

Great point. wonder if they thought of that???

I will be waiting for something else. I like the styling but having a winch is important to me.
