A custom bumper is a great aftermarket accessory for many SUV owners, but not everyone will need this upgrade. We've created the following guide to help you determine whether it's a good match for you.

1. You Commute for Work

Many families own SUVs due to the large amounts of available seating. These vehicles can fit all the kids, the kids' friends, and more!

But many families are also one-car families. You may need to use the SUV to get to work each day - and the longer your commute, the more you will want to invest in a custom bumper. It will help protect against wildlife, kicked-up rocks, and other hazards you may encounter on the road.

2. You Park Your SUV on the Street

It's unfortunate, but someone could back into your SUV while trying to parallel park. Depending on the speed and angle that they were driving, it could leave quite the mark on your vehicle. A custom SUV bumper helps offer extra protection to reduce the severity of any damage, which means your SUV could be stuck in a repair shop for a much shorter period of time.

3. You Want Better Visibility

Many custom SUV bumpers provide a great location for additional lighting to be installed. Our custom SUV bumpers, for example, provide a great space to mount a 20'' LED lightbar. This extra lighting helps improve visibility, especially while driving at night. Better visibility makes it easier to see upcoming hazards and be seen by other motorists, which helps reduce the chances of an accident.

4. You Drive on Dirt Roads

Dirt roads can be riddled with obstacles. Flying rocks and other road debris can be kicked up by other vehicles. Wildlife is more prevalent and could jump in front of your vehicle. Low-hanging branches can scrape your bumper while large rocks could dent it. The list goes on and on!

A custom SUV bumper helps add a layer of protection. Enjoy the off-road without facing expensive damage to your SUV.

Some custom SUV bumpers are even more grime resistant. Our models, for example, come with a textured powder coat that helps protect against dirt and other debris buildup.
