Nothing transforms the appearance of your rig quite like an aftermarket bumper. Whether you prefer tube or plate construction (or even a combination of both) the benefits go well beyond aesthetics. The addition of a well engineered front bumper not only protects vital components such as radiators and oil coolers in the event of a crash, it can also provide recovery points, winch mounting solutions, and tabs for auxiliary lights and antennas for communication on the trail.
There are at least a squillion companies producing countless front bumpers in the aftermarket. We have gathered together several popular brands here that produce bumpers for a multitude of your favorite overlanding platforms. We outlined these bumpers in alphabetical order below.
It should be noted that due to space limitations, not all bumpers from every manufacturer could be listed; in other words, this is an extensive list, but is by no means all inclusive.
Is a front bumper/bull bar necessary for backcountry travel? The short answer is, no. Having stated this, it is highly recommended. Here is why:
- A proper front bumper helps protect your vehicle in the event of an animal strike and can minimize damage in such an event -in many cases, you can drive away from what may have been a total loss. Wild animals such as deer, goats, bighorn sheep and (unfortunately) dogs may dart into your path with little or no warning.
- Accidents happen, with a bull bar, the damage received during an on road automobile accident can be greatly reduced -reducing the cost of repair and downtime from your adventure. Accidents off road are more likely, wet conditions and off camber trails can cause vehicles to slide into trees and rocks causing broken lights, punctured heat exchangers, and body damage. A strong steel or aluminum bumper can lessen or eliminate damage altogether.
- Recovery is greatly improved with the use of a well equipped bull bar. Not only do they provide recovery points, many come with provisions for electric winches. Winches can be used to clear roads, right a tipped vehicle or recover a stuck vehicle.
- Mounting of peripheral devices such as light tabs, antennas, and in some cases, Hi-lift jack lift points are also advantages of having a bull bar. Fitting your bull bar with aftermarket lights adds a margin of safety during night driving. Although not street legal, this lighting can provide visual warning of upcoming ruts or washed out trails.
The bumpers listed in this Buyer’s Guide vary in engineering and construction vastly. For example, some have been DOT crash tested, but most have not. AEV and ARB are the only manufacturers to maintain the manufacturer’s low speed impact SRS system on all their bumpers. Details such as these are available in further detail from the specific bumper manufacturer. Ultimately, it is up to you to choose which features best fit your needs.
Although, we will try to keep this list up to date, product lines are constantly changing. If we get something wrong, let us know and we will be glad to change it. Did we miss a critical bumper? Be sure to let us know and we will add it.
Aluminess
Aluminess produces a breadth of bumpers for a myriad of different platforms. Below is their reasoning for producing their bumpers from aluminum rather than the more traditional steel construction adopted by most companies:
“Our aluminum products are designed for strength and utility, providing additional protection for your vehicle. The lighter weight allows you to get full performance out of your suspension and prevents wear and tear on your alignment, brakes, and tires. In addition, you don’t have to worry about rust!” -Aluminess

“The harsh conditions of the Australian Outback are extremely demanding, and standard brush guards and grille guards simply aren’t strong enough to survive. For this reason, ARB pioneered the bull bar, designed specifically for maximum strength and reliability, to last in these tough conditions. And after years spent modifying and refining this design, the ARB bull bar is the most highly regarded 4×4 frontal protection system in the world.” -ARB
