![]() Well, the bumper is together, and we are happy and impressed. We figured the rear bumper will attract less attention than the front, and we could learn tricks and tips during the build, so let's start there and see how things go. Move sent us the bumper kits, and we've started by assembling the rear bumper first. The truck had outlasted both the front and rear factory bumpers, and because it gets used, we welcomed the chance to get a fresh start on the pointier ends of the truck. ![]() With that in mind, we reached out to Move for a set of Front and Rear bumpers for our 1998 Dodge 2500 4x4. ![]() Can it be that a company can make a durable weld-together bumper kit? We've got to dig into this a bit more ourselves. When we first heard about Move Bumpers, we were intrigued. We, the staff at Four Wheeler, have built a few bumpers ourselves, and while it can be rewarding, it is also time consuming and can be costly. Move also has a commitment to using American made products. They are known for heavy-duty DIY truck bumper kits, which fit a wide range of truck makes, models and are durable and inexpensive. Started in a small garage in Lewistown, Montana, Move Bumpers has quickly made a name for itself in the aftermarket steel truck bumper space. As a result, many custom built bumpers are one off, never to be duplicated again, what some would consider cost prohibitive, or just too complicated to trust with the home fabricator.Įnter Move Bumpers. And most won't even touch that because building a custom bumper is usually a bit more complicated than building a plastic model of that 69 Mustang, (or Camaro if it's got to be GM) that you always wanted. We've talked to folks in the industry who have told us how many times potential customers have asked for a cheaper weld-it-yourself version of the bumper. Mass production might help bring down costs to some extent, but not much. The other problem with selling custom bumpers for various vehicles is that folks are cheap and don't necessarily want to pay for what they are getting. Many custom bumpers require a custom fit that makes building them off the vehicle difficult and sometimes impossible. If you've ever spent time around a fabrication shop when a custom bumper is being built, or built one yourself that is a bit more than some rectangular tube and a beveled cut or two, you have more respect for companies that sell custom bumpers by mail order.
