Truck Bumpers
Unlike passenger cars, SUV and light truck bumpers do
not officially have any height requirements. This means that there are
a variety of aftermarket bumpers available for these vehicles that cannot
be found for passenger cars. This allows for many custom designs.
Grill guards are often used as truck bumpers. Affectionately known
as cow pushers, these are often seen on farm and ranch trucks. They
are also common on vehicles modified for heavy off-road use. These truck
accessories can be used for a purpose or just for looks.
Many aftermarket truck bumpers are made of much heavier materials that
the stock versions. They can often be made from 2-3 inch diameter steel
pipe and can be quite heavy. They are designed to withstand a great
deal more abuse than your standard bumper.
