Default Bumper Help Needed

I am probably one of the luckiest guys on earth. I work for a Sheriff's Department and they just bought me a 2011 Dodge Power Wagon as a new patrol vehicle.

The problem is I need a bumper diagram so the shop can build a new bumper for the front. A design resembling a Ranchhand, Fabtech, Warn, or anything along those lines will do. I would like to have the driving lights fit as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

See you on the trails!

Welcome to DF, you'll really like this site. Is your sheriff department hiring bc I really want a power wagon. haha. POST PICS OF YOUR RIDE!!!!

Try this site bud, go under group 13, it's more or less a parts list but maybe you can get some info you need off of it. Plus it's a good thing to have in your favorites!

Don't some of the aftermarket places already build a good bumper for the Ram?

They probably build their own in the state garage - heavy enough to push semis over the passes..................

Well, It's official. Our county mechanic's shop is going to build the bumper. I attempted to convince them to just pruchase an aftermarket bumper, but they want to build it themselves.

If it resembles the others that they have built for our patrol units it will look like a cross between a brush guard and a tow truck bumper. Granted, we hit alot of mule deer running code to calls, and have even hit an elk or two at highway speed without totaling the SUV, but dang, the approach angles stink, and there are not anchor points to hook a tow strap or a winch cable.

I promise I will post pics of the completed unit in my garage.

Wish me luck, stay safe, and I'll see you on the back roads and rock crawl trails.
