Frequently Asked Questions

Types of aftermarket off-road bumpers include one-piece, modular, and mold-on bumpers. Most aftermarket bumpers on the market are pre-fabricated, one-piece, bolt-on bumpers.

One-piece Bumpers:
These are the most low-maintenance and easy to install since they’re a singular component. This gives them extra structural integrity and sturdiness.

Modular Bumpers:
Unlike one-piece bumpers, modular bumpers are made up of several interchangeable parts that can be removed, added, or replaced for superior customization. Personalize yours with anything from custom bumper widths to extra light mounting points!

Weld-together Bumpers:
Finally, weld-together bumpers usually come in the form of DIY kits. This is a great option for welders or mechanics who want to take it upon themselves to customize their bumpers. There’s a lot more autonomy and room for customization with this option, but there’s also room for error. With power comes more responsibility. This option is more for the skilled hobbyist who wants to take on the challenge and reap the rewards of DIY welding.

Regardless of the custom bumper type you choose, a quality aftermarket bumper by a trusted brand will add years to your vehicle’s lifespan. If you’re just beginning your quest for the best custom bumper, Ranch Hand and Fab Fours bumpers are great places to start.

While off-roading, there are often steep slopes that your vehicle has to crawl to get from point A to point B. As if overcoming gravity isn’t challenging enough, there’s the added obstacle of doing so without scraping up the bumpers. Be sure to use off-roading bumpers to minimize wear and tear on your vehicle at the hands of off-road endeavors. Approach and departure angles are the maximum inclines your vehicle can successfully overcome without damaging any of its parts. Getting to know these angles will help you to determine the steepness levels it can handle while off-roading. Go at a slow and steady pace before tackling these inclines. Follow the right line and keep your speed consistent for a smooth trajectory up or down the hill.
