DD Offroad Front Bumper w/ Bull Bar

[Wayfaring Ranger]

https://ddoffroad.com/products/premium-front-bumper-with-bull-bar-for-ford-ranger-2024

Has anyone purchased this product or dealt with this company? I was planning to wait for ARB USA to get their bull-bar bumper out but this seems like a decent compromise solution and really not a bad price. I just haven't heard of these guys before.

I was looking at it as well. Have you learned anything else than what is on the website? I emailed them this morning to verify it fits the RR and ask about the ACC Radar.

I haven't, let me know what you find out about it though.

I just got this reply from them:

"Hi there, Raptor Ranger is a totally different animal, this bumper will not fit. We don’t have one for the Raptor."​

So, this option is off the table.

It looks like it'll be the ADD Phantom or the OEM. (Mine is the one that took out a fire hydrant).

Bummer. It might be worth it to reach out to ARB AU or ARB USA just to see if they have any ETA on their bumpers/bull bars coming to the USA.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like we'll get these eventually. Downsides of buying a first model year truck I guess

I spoke with ARB (actually a friend who works there) about the Summit Sahara MKII Bar for the Ranger Raptor, and the response was...." unfortunately the US vehicle is slightly different and product doesn’t translate across. At this stage no product for Raptor except for generic product, so no bars at this stage"

Did he happen to mention anything about the non-Raptor version of the new Ranger? I know ARB teased it last year but has been radio silence since.

ARB has some really ugly bumpers for the Ranger. I don't think I could stomach any of those on the truck.

Can't be any worse than this warty zit covered bumper.

I followed up and the short answer was TBD still.

looks pretty great to me and looks come second to the amount of protection you get.

my buddy has an ARB summit bull bar on his trooper. he hit 2 deer at once on the interstate and had no damage to the vehicle. he was able to drive 10 more hours to our campground without any issues from the collision.

I'm really not a fan of the big tube look.
They don't show the side profile, I have to wonder how far it sticks out.
I would be happy if someone did a thin blade style front bumper that tucks in close like stock.

I reached out to Coastal Offroad shortly after getting my Raptor this spring. Really hoping they'll commit to an updated version of their Ranger bumpers. Looks like a nice compromise between protection and profile.
