Are off-road bumpers worth it?

Are off-road bumpers worth it?

You might have left the garage with your new truck feeling confident that you’ll never need anything more than your factory bumpers but there are quite some benefits from swapping those for a superior Off-road Bumper.

Ever wondered what would happen to your OEM bumper if it hit a deer or ended up against a tree? Preparing for potential dangers is off-roading 101 and we recommend you consider your options due to the limited durability and strength of the average stock bumper.

As with any purchases, we know the importance of getting informed before handing out some cash, so here are the reasons you should consider gifting your truck a top-quality off-road bumper.

 

 

Better for off-road driving

It’s an obvious one but not every driver who loves the unpredictable off-road is aware of how switching to these bumpers could be a game-changer. First of all, your OEM bumper wouldn’t survive head-to-head with a deer or any high-impact accidents. They’re more designed for everyday driving while heavy-duty Aftermarket Bumpers were born to take any beatings and leave your truck untouched. They give you better ground clearance and can help you handle the impact of deer accidents as the steel material bends without breaking or even requiring repairs.

Not only that, they also give you extra support in case you get stuck in a dangerous situation as you can get some that are winch-ready or have shackles or clevis hooks. Due to the pre-cut holes that these aftermarket bumpers come with, you can add as many Accessories to them as you like.

 

Similar price

Don’t let the haters fool you into thinking that all aftermarket bumpers are expensive. They really vary in price and finding one within your budget is incredibly easy, you don’t need to break the bank to get the extra protection. Some can go as low as $200!

 

Overall, they also help you save money due to the reduction in accidents which damage your truck and require costly repairs, something that would make a big difference in the long run.

 

A more unique appearance

Obviously, protection comes first but at the same time, you gotta consider how badass your truck would look with a unique aftermarket bumper that makes it stand out from the crowd. Imagine the rugged look on your beast, personalized to your liking and with a flawless powder-coat finish. 

 

There are so many options to choose from, that you’re bound to find one that perfectly matches the style of your truck.

 

 

Ultimately, Heavy-duty Bumpers can make a huge difference to your day-to-day driving when you venture off-road. The amount of peace of mind you get from knowing that you got extra protection at the front, and maybe even at the back, is priceless. Ready to get yours?
