I have wanted a winch bumper for years for this truck, and finally found a justification. But the cost for ready to mount bumpers is wild, so I started looking. I have built a kit of theirs in the past for a 96' Bronco, but it was a base model and didn't have any grill guard or winch mount. I could not find any pictures of a similar MOVE bumper on a 5th gen, so here you go!

This is the classic, full grill, 2" tubing upgrade, winch mount, HD upgrade. was looking g for a Trailready lookalike, and I'm not disappointed. I suck at welding, and took my time, and then took it to Line-X for sand blasting and coating. I am beyond happy. I did make a few modifications:

-I purchased extra 3/16" strap to close the back of the grill uprights, as the kit leaves them open
- I mounted the winch plate in the vertical position, but attached it to the top of the bumper versus the bottom as shown in the instructions. I did this because with my winch, I can simply rotate it 90° and still have it spool properly, with ample clearance. I did have to modify the logo, but function>form

Here's the cost breakdown:
Bumper kit, on sale- $990
Shipping to IL- $150
Sandblasting and Line-X - $630

I also had to buy a GF Titanium welder, hood, Supplies, etc that came to around $600

Would I do it again? 100%, especially if you aren't in a rush, or actually know what you are doing
