Any members running a Protofab front bumper please help...

[Sun_and_Steel77]

Hi guys, I am about ready to order this bumper but I need a picture of the side view. Basically I want to know how far the "push-bar" or tube portion of the bumper sticks out forward of the grill.
I am after a non-winch bumper with clean lines and without much forward protrusion, but it would be nice to have that push bar as there are lots of deer and moose collisions in my area.

I know most of the vendors sell this same bumper under various names. Heres a picture from Protofab.
Thanks!

Sorry to hijack a little but that looks a lot like the one I made...

Yes it certainly does! Very nice...wish I had the skills to pull off something like that.

Give WH a call or heck just call mike at protofab -- he's really cool and can answer in 2 seconds. I bet it's only slightly forward of the front of the bumper, but angled down enough to push the animal down rather than up and over onto the hood and into the windshield.

Agree with giving Mike a call. I just measured a Pre-Runner tube type with guard and it's 16" from the leading edge of the guard to the back edge of the bumper. And 19" from the leading edge of the tube to the Bronco's grille.

But that particular one you're looking at appears to have slightly less rake to the guard in the picture.
Could be the camera angle, but the best way is to get it right from the horse's mouth.
So to speak...

I'm running that exact bumper. Front edge of upper pipe is approx 8 1/2" off grill.

AWESOME!...that's the info I was after. Sounds like it will work just perfect for me.
Are you running a body-lift? If so hows the gap if any?

 

[texbronc]

No body lift. Fits great just below grill. Very well built bumper.

Mike at protofab builds awesome bumpers. I have front and rear bumpers from him and love them.
