Description
Rugged Front-End Protection. Add rugged pre-runner styling to your 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado by upgrading to a Barricade Pre-Runner Front Bumper. Designed with the aggressive off-roader in mind, this Bumper features an integrated grille guard hoop and skid plate. Additionally, this Bumper includes 2 grille covers, 1 with a mesh honeycomb pattern and the other open for use with a light bar. (Light bar not included, sold separately.) Loaded with all these great features, this Barricade Pre-Runner Front Bumper is ideal for both street and off road use.
Durable Construction. Fabricated from heavy-duty steel plate and steel tubing for superior strength, this Barricade Pre-Runner Front Bumper is cold formed into shape. After trimming and final finishing, Barricade then completes its Bumper in a 2-stage finish using epoxy pre-coating and high-grade, textured black powder coating for durability and long-lasting corrosion resistance.
Bolt-On Installation. Barricade engineered its Pre-Runner Front Bumper to be a direct bolt-on replacement for the original stock bumper reusing the factory hardware and mounting points. There is no cutting or modifications required for a clean, straight forward installation. Installation can be completed in about 2 hours with just basic hand tools and the help of a friend.
Application. This Barricade Pre-Runner Front Bumper with Skid Plate was designed for use on all 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 models.

This bumper turned out great and gives me plenty of approach angle while running around out hunting property. The construction is great and the finish is excellent. Now on to the not so great.
It took significantly longer than advertised to install. The majority of that time was spent sorting out the hardware and mounts for the installation and figuring out what order some of the pieces should be assembled since the instructions provided were slightly better than useless. The passenger side frame mount will need to be modified (a hole will need to be drilled) to access the rear mounting hole for the tow hook on that side. However the drivers side rear tow hook mounting hole is accessible.
Overall it was easy enough, but some better instructions and hardware/mount diagrams would have made for a more pleasurable installation process.

Really like the look of this but the only downside was my washer fluid canister is now exposed to getting damaged by rocks and stuff from off-roading or highway driving

Here’s the honest truth from a guy that actually built off-road bumpers as a business before retiring to sit in a truck all day.
The build quality for a Chinese made bumper is pretty good, no bird poop welds, splatter, wire left hanging or over burning. The coating is ok, doesn’t look like it’s going to last a year but for the price… you’ll make due.
Now- let’s talk about how garbage the install instructions are.
First problem- you’re provided a box full of parts and a bag full of bolts and no diagram or “key” for what the parts are or any markings on them other than a “D“ for driver side and “P” passenger side.
Second problem- although even a complete idiot can assemble almost anything from a picture or diagram, the instructions provided are basically copies of a copy of a picture taken of the picture from the original instruction book. There’s 8 parts that all look identical in the photos and since you don’t have any “reference key” page or markings on the parts…. welp, you’re left to use your assembly skills in a fun game of guess and check.
Keep in mind, I designed, fabricated, and installed off road bumpers so I had professional level of understanding as to how it might go together and I still wasted an hour on it.
I’d also note the instructions want you to assembly it on the ground and then lift a now heavier bumper onto your truck, assuming you have 2 other guys around to slide the bolts in.
Also, they missed the 1 hole required to use your OEM tow rings, which you might want since there’s no D ring holes on this bumper. That’s going to be a 15 mins of your time with a drill and a good step bit to a 3/4 hole.

The bumper went on pretty smooth, will be posting pictures when there is day light. Love the multiple options and has room to modify if you want. If you looking for a bumper that gives you more clearance with out breaking the bank this is it. Will be posting pictures here and Insta @koldheartedmods ,especially when I get a chance to take the truck to the dunes again.
