I think one of those would look awsome on an X. I haven't ever seen that specific one on an explorer but I made my bumper and It is very similar to that except I just have the bumper part and none of the brush guard. I have had many people tell me that mine looked good and I think one of those would look even better. http://www.progressivelogic.com/other/mytruck3.jpg

That does look awsome. I have the same X, same color and everything. I'm putting a 5.5 superlift tomarrow. Wish me luck.

Oh ya, what kind of safari rack is that, and do they come in sizes, b/c I have seen them hanging off the side and it doesn't look good, yours is what I want mine to look like.

Check the availability...

A while back TJM halted distribution to the US. I haven't heard anything about them picking back up though. They very well may have, but it's something to look into.

I got a TJM T-17 w/o the bull bar from Hella about 5-6 years ago. It's worth every penny and then some. The quality is top notch, installation is easy if you have a helper, especially if you have a winch. Don't be a hero and try to do it by yourself (stupid me, installed the bumper and winch all alone and almost lost my back!!!). It hides the winch completely, looks very sharp, and extremely SOLID. If TJM is again selling in the States, I'll have to get one for my wife's 2000 XLT.

I only wish it had two D-rings in the front as two points, although you could get a shop to weld two for you easily enough.

You can check it out on my '91 here: http://www.explorer4x4.com/hollister.html

itsz slow to load but its got the T-13 on a 94 ranger.


Phillip, as was said before, Hella stopped importing them into the US. I called Hella a few months ago and I was told they dont have any. If you find a way to get them I would be interested. I agree its a nice looking bumper.

I have the seen the TJM bumper in action a few weeks ago on nissans at hollister. Witnessed some recoverys too. The guys said they had to wait 6 months for their bumper. I though this front bumper for ranger/explorer was kinda cool too.

Im more interested in a rear bumper/tire carrier like this though.
