Econoline MOVE Precision Bumper Build

[Big_ern_101]

Just completed my build of a MOVE precision bumper for my 2006 Econoline.
Fitment and kit quality was very good, I am pleased at how it turned out. I used Rigid 4" lights and they fit perfectly in the cutouts. Price wise, it was just the cost of the kit, some weld wire, and $200 in powdercoating, so pretty tough to beat.

Following the generic instructions for mounts location was not ideal, I ended up moving the mounts a little bit to get the bumper to fit correctly and have full range of adjustment on the mounts.

I did fabricate some things, added more support between the bumper shell and the mounts, added tabs for my air compressor connection and front viewing camera, and fabricated a hidden fastene, removeable license plate mount.

Total time invested was an afternoon to tack and fit everything, another 2 evenings to weld and grind the welds, and then a few days fidding with the odds and ends like the license plate mount.

This is listed as a non-winch bumper, there is plenty of room to add a winch if desired, there would need to be some modifications made to the front face of the bumper to allow the fairlead to mount properly.

I would recommend a MOVE kit to anyone.

Very cool - almost as cool as the Viper in the background:d8:


I've got a similar MOVE bumper that I picked up 2nd hand from somebody that had already welded it up, looking forward to getting it mounted one of these days.

Thanks dude. Viper is going on Cars and Bids next week, I like it but I have had it since 2017 and want something else. House is paid off next year and if the wife doesnt find a new place I am gonna roll that payment into a Lambo. Fingers crossed....

Nice. I've been thinking about a Move Bumper for one of my trucks.
