Y'all need to check out truck defender's website. Very informative. They're in South Dakota so that may be a bit of a problem for me since I'm in NW Florida and if they have dealers there is no list of them on their website.

I just chatted with Tyler Elmore and he's not sure they can offer both adaptive cruise and winch tray at the same time. He will get back to me.

Note that the prices he quoted all hovered around $4k. I'll save the chat if anyone has more questions they want me to answer.

Yes it will

I just dropped my RR off in SD. so Truck Defender can prototype an aluminum full bumper replacement. I had one on my 5g. Picture Included for reference. I'll post any in-progress pics as I receive them. Can't wait to see the final product!

I think the photo of the 5g Ranger is confusing... I saw the picture and read your first sentence and thought "Hold-on, the PX (5g) Raptor was never sold in the US!".... Just saying.

Yeah' that was just to show an " example" of their bumper. They are prototyping one on my truck as we speak. It should be similar to the 5g bumper

It's done. This is the first pic from them. When the weather cooperates, I'll post more.

Were you able to get both the winch tray and the adaptive cruise working?

By the way that's a GREAT looking bumper and should provide great protection.

I was not. The winch and the radar assembly conflicted. They didnt want to move the radar assemble from its original position to accomodate the winch. But I wonder if the radar assembly could be offset to work with the winch?

I've seen a number of radar relocations, offset or higher behind the grill. They claim it works fine but I'm a bit skeptical...
I wanted a winch mount like this but you'd have to remove the shutters. I'm not doing that. Plus to do it properly you really get higher rate springs....

So I'll probably make my own.... Something like this.
Oh wait April 1 was yesterday....

Honestly, that looks as good as those other cattle ranch bumpers.

Yeah, I agree. But this bumper IS NOT a ranchhand.

I don't mind the Bull Bar look, I would love it in natural aluminum on my F350, but it looks wrong on the Raptor.
