2010 Bumper on a 2014

WilliamS · Jan 24, 2017

Will it bolt up. I have a 2014 bighorn that has the big shiny plate of crap where the cutout for say a lightbar would be. As I want to add a lightbar, and just cant bolt it to the top of the bumper will a 2009-2013 bumper bolt up. I know the fog lamps are different, and I will have to drill out the PDC holes but is the mounting the same?

I looked into this also for the same reason. Looking at the parts diagrams for both a 2012 and a 2013 makes it appear to be more involved than just swapping the bumper. The mounts are different, the fascia above the bumper is different, not to mention a bunch of other little parts. Not sure if you acquire all the parts whether it would then bolt on. I'm thinking unless you could get the parts from a salvage yard it'd be kind of pricey. Maybe someone that's hard both front ends apart will weigh in.

I'd love to do the HD front conversion, but that's even more expensive and involves way more parts. The salvage yards around me only seem to have older truck, mostly 2nd gen and a few 3rd gen.

Knowing that Id have to pretty much bolt it all up, I might as well find the HD front end.

Did you every try that out?

I looked into swapping an 2009-2012 bumper as well but its completely different, to make it fit you have to swap both upper and lower bumper, as well as the grille. Red truck is 2013 and up and the silver truck is 09-12.
On the 2013 and up the bumper and grille dips down, whereas on the 09-12 its all straight.

These are google pics not mine.

I don't know how attached you are to the two-part and chrome-look but I have a one part lying around, which is a lot easier to mount a lightbar in, obviously aligns with your foglights and has pdc holes... let me know if interested.
