2015 Explorer PIU DeeZee Push Bumper Help!

[jmenende]

Howdy folks. I purchased a used DeeZee LE0960 Push Bumper with mounting hardware. It turns out the mounting hardware is not complete and does not even match those displayed in the install manual supplied from the manufacturer. I gave DeeZee a call to purchase another bracket kit but its discontinued. The bumper is new and its a damn shame to let it go to waste over some dang brackets. If anyone has one or knows where i can buy this bracket kit Id appreciate it.

Maybe you can buy the Setina bracket kit and modify it to work.

I though about it. The issue with the deezee push bumper is thats is aluminum amd not steel. The others out there are all steel and make welding anything that much easier.

That would make it easier to have some brackets fabricated for it.

Can you make some brackets to bolt to the bumper then bolt to the truck? Good grade 8 bolts pretty tough and can always drill to a bigger size if your really going to pushing with it. Or maybe draw a template and take it to a machine shop to fab you some up?

FYI...Setina makes an aluminum push bumper....but the brackets are steel. I guess what I am saying is that you could use steel brackets if you are better versed, or it's easier to use steel.

I found mounting kit from go rhino that looks to be a good fit and will allow me space to modify it. I might just need to level the push bumper and drill new holes unto it. The Dee Zee bumper is superb in quality, its just a damn shame they no longer make the bracket. It must have been a limited run since i cant find any on the web but its to be expeccted, the frame changed in 2016. Will report back.

If you are now talking Go Rhino parts, there is this; For Sale - Interceptor push bar

This is a follow up. Ordered the go rhino install kit# 5340TK and it lined up almost exactly. Just had to roll the bracket a bit closer. 4 out of the 8 holes lined up and I just drilled the remaining ones. Very happy with the outcome.
