Get answers to your most pressing questions about our products and services.
How long does it take to get my product?
If your bumper is currently in stock, Road Armor works hard to ship it within about 48 hours so you can get your order moving quickly. When a bumper needs to be built, lead times vary depending on demand, production flow, and scheduling inside the fabrication shop. Because timelines change throughout the year, the most reliable way to get accurate details is by contacting Road Armor’s customer service team. They can verify stock, build time, shipping expectations, and any relevant updates. This ensures you always receive the most current info when planning your upgrade or installation.
Do you offer any kind of warranty on your bumpers?
Yes. Road Armor provides a lifetime structural warranty on its bumpers, reflecting the company’s confidence in the quality and strength of its American made construction. This warranty covers structural integrity issues that may arise under normal use, giving customers long term peace of mind. The goal is to ensure you’re protected and supported for as long as you own your bumper. Road Armor stands behind its craftsmanship because each bumper is built with durable materials, strict processes, and hands on fabrication standards. It’s not just a warranty, it’s a long term commitment to customers.
How can I order my bumpers?
You can order Road Armor bumpers several ways, giving you flexibility depending on your preference. You can purchase directly by ordering through the website or by calling the customer service team for assistance. You can also order through your local dealer if you prefer working with a nearby storefront. When you call Road Armor at 877 294 2726, the team can quote pricing, check availability, and let you know if any discounts are available. Since dealer pricing varies, Road Armor cannot provide dealer discount or retail details, so those inquiries must go through the dealer.
How long does shipping my bumper take?
Shipping times depend on your location, freight carrier schedules, and the shipping class of your order. Once your bumper is on the way, the transit period generally falls within the range of 5-10 days, although this can shift based on distance or regional freight delays. Larger items, like bumpers, often travel via freight carriers that require scheduled drop offs, so delivery times may differ from standard package delivery. If you need a more precise estimate, the customer service team can review your shipping address and provide a more specific timeframe based on current carrier performance.
Do your bumpers come with lights?
Road Armor bumpers do not include lights, although they are designed with multiple mounting points that allow you to add the lighting setup of your choice. This gives you flexibility to choose your preferred brand, output level, beam pattern, and style rather than being limited to a preselected lighting package. Whether you want cube lights, a single row bar, dual bars, or a combination, the bumper provides versatile locations to build the configuration that fits your driving needs. This approach keeps the bumper affordable while giving you control over your lighting performance and appearance.
What are the bumpers made out of?
Road Armor bumpers are built using high quality American steel that is laser cut, precision bent, and welded in house. Using American steel helps ensure reliable thickness, consistent texture, and structural integrity that meets the company’s performance expectations. Steel selection is a crucial part of durability, especially for off road protection, winch support, or heavy duty use. The combination of strong material and skilled fabrication creates a bumper designed to absorb impact, resist bending, and maintain shape over time. It’s a steel first approach that focuses on real world toughness rather than lightweight compromises.
Do you powder coat or paint the bumpers?
Road Armor uses a five stage powder coating process that creates a long lasting, protective finish more durable than standard paint. The process includes surface preparation, cleaning, chemical treatment, powder application, and curing, each step designed to help the coating bond securely to the steel. Powder coating resists corrosion, chipping, and wear better than paint, especially for drivers who face tough weather or off road conditions. This method also ensures a consistent texture and appearance across each bumper. The result is a strong, attractive finish built to last through years of use.
Why do I need an aftermarket bumper?
Aftermarket bumpers allow you to personalize your vehicle’s appearance while also gaining structural benefits not offered by most factory bumpers. Many drivers upgrade for added strength, off road durability, winch compatibility, or improved protection against debris and impacts. Others choose aftermarket options for the style and aggressive look they bring to a truck or SUV. They combine aesthetics, functionality, and toughness in ways that stock bumpers rarely match. Whether it’s for work, adventure, or personal expression, an aftermarket bumper gives your vehicle both character and capability.
Do you offer your products raw?
Yes, Road Armor offers its steel products in a raw, unfinished form for customers who prefer to apply their own coating or paint. Because raw bumpers require additional prep work and carry certain risks, these orders must be placed over the phone at 877 294 2726. During the call, the customer service team will walk you through surface preparation steps, expectations for raw steel, and the potential for corrosion if the bumper isn’t finished properly. This ensures you understand how to handle and protect your bumper before starting your custom finishing process.
What guard options are available for the Vaquero series?
The Vaquero series features a full guard design that provides expanded protection and a bold visual style. This guard layout uses heavy duty schedule 40 pipe and strong weld points to help shield your vehicle from impacts, brush, livestock encounters, or worksite hazards. The full guard’s wide coverage is ideal for drivers who want maximum strength and a traditional ranch inspired look. The Vaquero design pairs durability and heritage styling to create a bumper that performs in both rural and demanding environments. It’s a straightforward, no compromise guard option designed for real world use.
What other options are available for the Vaquero series?
Vaquero bumpers offer several add on options to enhance performance and versatility. Every Vaquero bumper can be ordered with a two-inch receiver built into the design, giving you extra accessory capabilities. For drivers looking to add recovery gear, a dedicated winch plate is also available, allowing secure mounting of winches when paired with the correct hardware. These options let you tailor your bumper to your needs, whether it’s for ranch work or preparing for off-road situations. The goal is to create a bumper that’s rugged, adaptable, and ready for anything.
Are Vaquero bumpers winch compatible?
Yes, all Vaquero bumpers are winch compatible when paired with the optional winch plate. From the factory, each bumper ships with a non-winch plate, but adding the optional plate transforms the bumper into a strong, winch capable platform. This setup offers reliable mounting points built from heavy steel so your winch can perform safely under load. Whether you’re pulling equipment, recovering vehicles, or navigating off road terrain, the Vaquero series can handle the added stress. It’s a flexible system designed for drivers who want the option to upgrade as their needs evolve.
What are Vaquero bumpers made from?
Vaquero bumpers are built using high quality American steel with a combination of 11 gauge steel, schedule 40 pipe, and high density 12 gauge tubing. This blend creates a rugged, high strength structure capable of handling demanding environments, from ranching and agriculture to off road and fleet operations. The schedule 40 pipe provides the foundation for the guard system, while the steel plating adds rigidity and protection across the bumper’s surface. Each material is selected for its durability and performance under stress. The result is a combination that delivers long term resilience and dependable protection.
Will my sensors still work with my Vaquero bumper?
Yes, Vaquero bumpers are designed with sensor compatibility in mind. Road Armor engineering takes into account factory sensor positioning, detection angles, and clearance zones to help ensure your vehicle retains its built in functionality. While installation and calibration can vary by model, the bumper is intentionally designed so you do not lose access to important safety features. If you ever run into fitment or sensor placement questions, the customer service team can help confirm installation details. The goal is to maintain your vehicle’s functionality while giving you the added strength of a steel bumper.
Do you work with fleet accounts?
Absolutely. Road Armor regularly supports fleet customers and enjoys working with fleet managers looking to equip their vehicles with more durable front end protection. Fleet accounts often benefit from streamlined ordering, consistent product availability, and the ability to build vehicles to a uniform standard. Whether your operation involves ranching, oil fields, utilities, municipalities, or commercial work, Road Armor can help configure solutions that keep your trucks protected. Fleet managers can call 877 294 2726 to discuss pricing, timelines, compatibility, and any specific requirements that their organization might have.
