BP4WD bumpers any good?

[rylad]

I’m in the market for an overlanding SUV and I’m pretty sure I’m going to settle on the 200 series LX. Probably the 2013-2015 because I prefer the styling and the more traditional infotainment system. Im in the process of planning/budgeting mods to make sure I can build it out the way I want quickly.

I don’t plan on doing any serious off-roading but I am interested in adding an aftermarket front bumper/wench as a precaution for longer overlanding trips that may require emergency recovery. Since I don’t need anything super beefy I was very attracted to the BP4WD bumper that is low profile and probably just enough protection for what I’ll need. I haven’t seen any feedback on these bumpers and there’s also not many pictures to see how it looks with various set ups. I can’t even find a side view with the bumper installed.

Has anyone tried this company? Anyone tried the front bumper for the LX specifically? How is the product/company quality?

I’ve never heard of this brand. I would have one concern that is worth confirming:

It looks like this design bolts to the factory tow points and frame horns only. Want you want here is a clevis that goes through the ends of the frame so it takes the stress off the horns.

There have been a couple of guys who ran Viper bumpers and ended up cracking their frames because of this mounting style.

If there is not a clevis nut, I would highly recommend you add one like @turbo8 sells

Awesome feedback. Thanks!

Yeah, I’m not sure if the brand is new but they have a number of products. Just no real world reviews out there.

That’s a great suggestion, and maybe an extra layer of protection could be added. For example, any bumper that is bolted to the frame could also be secured with a U-lock.

This brand is indeed a newer one, but I’ve already seen some members here installing their bumpers. Maybe we can ask them to share their experience.

I ve hit a lil Dune in the Tunisian Sahara some weeks ago.

Decided to go with a low profile aluminum bumper from BP4WD from China. Really good quality!

Did you go the route of BP4x4?these two threads are literally the only thing I can find online about this company.

Slightly offtopic but how/where is the clevis mounted?

Through the end of the frame horn

What’s the offset for the threads? From the photo it doesn’t look like it’s centered? Wondering if these would work with my (or most any) bumper if the mount is drilled or if only certain ones would work because of the location.

It's offset because it matches one of the holes on the frame plate.

Bumping this thread to see if anyone has taken the plunge on this bumper. Looks like the clevis nut would solve the mounting problem.

This could be a good pairing with the E&E rear bumper for a stock+ build.
