About DIY Bumper Kits

WHAT IS A DIY BUMPER KIT?

MOVE DIY Bumper Kits will revolutionize the way you customize your pickup or SUV. Instead of spending thousands on a pre-assembled aftermarket bumper, or wasting your time with low-quality bumpers, build your own heavy-duty DIY truck or SUV bumper with MOVE!

MOVE bumper kits are manufactured with heavy-duty U.S. steel and allow for extra customization after the bumper build - all at an affordable price point.

Using state-of-the-art 3D technology, high powered lasers, CNC machines and metal-forming equipment, our DIY Bumper Kits are manufactured specifically for your truck’s make, model and year. Made of 3/16-inch plate steel (9 gauge), MOVE bumper kits come with all the pieces you need to weld your bumper together before mounting onto your truck or SUV. All kits come raw and unfinished, ready for your favorite paint, powder coat or liner!

WHAT COMES WITH A MOVE DIY BUMPER KIT?

MOVE DIY Bumper Kits ship as an unfinished kit of raw steel pieces, including 5 main pieces, frame mounts and a few trim pieces. You'll use your own factory bolts. The pieces are pre-cut and pre-bent to fit your truck’s specific make, model and year and come ready for you to fit and weld together, using your truck as the jig, before bolting onto your truck. Instructions and assembly drawings are included to help walk you through your bumper build.

Please note: Cutting, mitering or coping is required for the tube portion of bull bar, prerunner, and full grille bumper kits.
