A
Rampage Bumper has lot of components that a first-time buyer might find
daunting. Not only do you have to purchase the right bumper, but then you have
to consider accessories such as bumper lighting kits, fog lights, d-ring
shackles and more. Therefore, when you are ready to purchase a Rampage Bumper
for your Jeep, consider a few of these first-time buyer tips to make sure you
make the right decision the first time around.
Rampage Bumpers
Rampage
currently manufacturers two basic types of recovery bumpers: the stubby front
and recovery bumper.
Recovery Bumper
– This
type of bumper provides front and rear recovery protection. Perfect for day or
night use, the Rampage Recovery Bumper is specifically designed for heavy-duty
off-roading and rock crawling. With ground-level dual light receptacles, you
can install fog lights or heavy-duty lights without worrying about
distribution. These recovery bumpers include additional features, such as:
·
No
drill installation
·
The
ability to mount directly to the factory-installed bumper mount
·
Custom
welded shackle mounts
·
Floating
bolts for quick and easy stud alignment
·
A
free winch plate with custom d-ring shackles on both front and rear recovery
bumpers
·
Two
finishes (semi-gloss and textured)
The
basic Recovery Bumper is recommended for vehicles that will be used for
full-time off-roading. Since these bumpers are specifically created for
heavy-duty use, Jeep owners should consider this type of recovery bumper if
they plan on using their Jeep for rock crawling, scaling or even crawling
through mud and water.
Stubby Front
Bumper – The
Stubby Front Bumper, also referred to as the Mass-Articulation Front Bumper, is
a lighter version of the traditional Recovery Bumper. This bumper has a narrower
design, smaller edges and is able to accommodate larger tires and expanded
travel requirements. Since the mass-articulation model is designed for off-road
and on-road use, it is the perfect recovery bumper for drivers who still need
to take their Jeep on city streets or drive their Jeep for long distances to
reach their off-roading destination. The Rampage Stubby Front Bumper does have
same convenience features as the Recovery Bumper, including no drill
installation, mounting directly to the factory-installed bumper mounts and
custom welded shackle mounts.
Accessories
Accessories
are up to the consumer. If you plan on using your Jeep for extensive
off-roading, consider adding additional features such as a winch, d-ring
shackle or even fog lamps for improved visibility. Those looking to off-road at
all hours should consider mounting lights into their recovery bumpers for
day/night visibility and safety. If, however, you are installing a recovery
bumper for aesthetic appeal, consider using the features that come standard
with a Stubby Front Bumper instead.
