Thanks! My idea is to go “just below the front bumper only” with chrome or flat black 1” OD pipe or 1” X 1/8” wall Sq tubing, shaped as the bumper, .5” in front just outside the fog lights. All most a hidden push bar anchored to the best mounting with flat iron 2” wide, ¼” thick. I’m a Metalworker with the steel (except for chrome plated) and welding equipment. I had planned to do this or etc before any damage but now I’ll hope to hide some damage. I’ll promise, if it does not fit the T4R appearance I will not use it.
One last Idea I have not searched. Is there a stock steel front bumper on the market? My 2W V6 T4R’s color is Driftwood Pearl (as the attachment appears to be). Wind drag is not a concern due to more in-town, fishing, firewood, handyman work driving. 3,000 mi per yr has been my avg per yr in 10 yrs of retirement. I needed the solid frame and rear axle since my 70s, 80s Full Jeep Wagoneers and 90s V6 Explorer the last 15 yrs (for the firewood loads). I have only avg 2,000 a yr on this 07 in the 2 yrs and the oil has to be changed every 5,000 or 6 mo per to the extended warranty.
