Outfit your Ford Transit van for your next adventure with Backwoods Adventure Mods’ Nomad Series bumper. The shell of the Nomad bumper is constructed out of 3/16" 5052 aluminum with an internal 3/16-inch rib system for added reinforcement.

Ford Transit Front Bumpers

Outfitting your 2015 - 2019 Ford Transit for off-roading adventures begins with adding an aftermarket front bumper from Backwoods Adventure Mods. Our premium high-performance Nomad bumper features our very own proprietary hybrid design that includes a brilliant combination of lightweight aluminum and strong carbon steel. Without the bull bar, the Ford Transit front bumper weighs a mere 130 lbs while offering exceptional protection from the hazards of the trail. The bull bar adds an additional 7 lbs, which means that, with the addition of 137 lbs, you can keep your van safe, boost your ground clearance, improve your approach angles, and look great while doing it.

This front bumper is quite simply everything you could ever want in an aftermarket off-roading bumper.

Superior Design for Superior Protection

Front-end damage is one of the normal risks of off-roading. Rocks, brush, boulders, and branches threaten to maim or destroy your Transit. This aftermarket front bumper solves the problem and lets you take to the trail with confidence. We’ve incorporated the most important features of steel and aluminum into our Nomad hybrid Ford Transit front bumper. This bumper won’t rust and won’t weigh you down, but will provide all the extra strength you need to safely tackle any terrain.

The Nomad front bumper is built in the USA at our high-tech facility in Springdale, Arkansas. Every Nomad we build features industry-leading precision and consistency. You won’t find a better aftermarket Ford Transit front bumper anywhere else.
