Outfit your Ford Transit van for your next adventure with Backwoods Adventure Mods’ Nomad Series bumper.

***THIS PRODUCT IS MADE FOR OFFROAD USE ONLY***

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.

30-Day Easy Returns

As experienced Overlanders, we fully understand that things do not always go according to plan. 

That is why we offer you our "No Questions Asked" 30-Day Return Policy, so you can get back on the road for more adventures in a heartbeat.

We get it. You've got a lot of choices when it comes to online retailers, so why should you even bother spending your hard-earned bucks shopping with us? 

Here are four short reasons why Open Road Overland is not like the rest of the bunch and why we believe that your shopping experience with us is not only 100% safe, but will also exceed your expectations, so you come back for more and maybe even bring your friends.

REASON #1: 100% SAFE & SECURE ONLINE SHOPPING

We use encrypted SSL security and are Level 1 PCI DSS compliant to ensure that your credit card information and every transaction on our website are 100% protected. 

REASON #2: DRIVING THE WORLD SINCE 1998

We started overlanding in 1998, way before overlanding was even a term. Since then we have spent the last 25 years zig-zagging the planet trail testing the types of equipment you find in our store. In other words, we learned the hard way what works and what doesn’t, through hands-on experience during our own adventures on 6 continents (yes, we still haven’t made it to Antarctica). To ensure that we add value to your adventure with the products you shop with us, our policy is that nothing goes on our website before it has been thoroughly reviewed. This means that you will not find anything in our store that we would not bring along our use on our own overland adventures.

REASON #3: WE HAVE DRIVEN ALMOST EVERYTHING

Secondly, we have been driving almost any type of vehicle you can think of over the years. This means that we have acquired a strong skill set to answer any question you have concerning your own vehicle setup, no matter whether you drive a standard passenger car, a pickup truck, or a fully rigged 4x4 overlanding vehicle. 

REASON #4: WE WANT EVERYBODY TO GO OVERLANDING

Thirdly, we strongly believe and promote that overlanding should be accessible to everybody, no matter what you drive, or what level of experience you have. That means that we can guide you as a novice overlander just starting out, as well as giving advice to you as an ultra pro with years of bushwhacking behind the wheel. That’s why you will also see both entry-level products, as well as top-of-the-line gear on our site, so we can cater to everybody looking to elevate their own overland adventures. No matter what, you can rest assured that the products you find in our store are here because they do the job they were made to do.

  • Free Shipping on most orders above $250 to the lower 48 states
