@Mariner has a bumper that would probably fit your needs that he wants to offload!

Hey everyone I'm new to this forum as I just purchased my 2014 Raptor. I'm looking at bull bars/push bars and wanted some insight with other owners. I know this may sound crazy but I purchased to be able to move my family safely through all terrains in case some unfortunate things were to occur. (Yes I'm a prepper) With that being said, I would like to know of the best push bar available to protect my front and rear end that can handle pushing through cars, plowing through fences etc. I've looked at a few and would like the fog lamps included but not entirely necessary. My main concern(my wife) with one is I would like to not block the "FORD" lettering on my front grill. I know this thread may sound stupid to some of you and you are all entitled to your own opinions and I respect that. All i ask is for that same respect and would prefer that only helpful replies be shared. Please and Thank you everyone.

What's your location? I have a Fab Fours premium bumper I'm taking off really soon, and I'd be happy to sell it to you for a very fair price. Besides being dirty, it's in great shape. Never been used to push or pull anything. I even have a rear bumper to match if you're super interested. It's definitely a zombie apocalypse type bumper. Feel free to pm me with any questions!

Thanks @t_j for the mention

I was thinking of getting one from Arc-Rite Truck Accessories at one point. The one they make for the Raptor looks nice, especially the one without the mesh. Check them out too @loso3333

Any sort of "bull bar" is strictly cosmetic and I wouldn't count on it to do anything other than bend upon contact with something else. In addition, they reduce the front approach angle.

What do you mean reduce the front approach angle? Are these things really not built to come in contact with possible objects with out bending?

If you are talking about the Fab Fours and Gen Rite products, disregard my comments. My post was directed at anything from Westin, Smitty Built, etc.
