Sand dunes yesterday. Hit a dune or jump hard enough to bend front bumper up right in the middle. Far enough up to break the plastic honey comb over the intercooler. Guess a bumper needs to be found now. Either replacement or maybe I can find a take off from someone who did a replacement.

Also a couple gripes. This thing crams mud and leaves in so many places. Never had this trouble cleaning my 14. Also the driver side rear tire has a rub spot the size of a quarter on the inside of the fender well. This is with factory tires and wheels and the tire rubs. I'm sure it's only at max flex but I wouldn't plan on ANY tire size increase at all at factory specs. These are minor and I love the truck. Just a few thoughts.

stinks about the grill, but this is what bumpers are there for.

During fords offroad course in California for a bunch of journalists, there were a few complete suspension flex sections and you could see some rub. This was slow speed flexing. Check out ADD's bumpers, they have a few nice ones.

Bumper pics

Here's a couple pics of the bumper. Sure makes me sick to look at them.

Edit: To make things even worse. We figured out where this happened. It wasn't at the sand dunes or while running the truck. It appears to have happened while crossing a draw at my buddy's house picking him up to head to the sand dunes. Just steep and deep enough to hit the bumper as we went through. :(
