SCX10 Deadbolt tucked front bumper.
 
What are my options for a front bumper that doesnt stick out so far from the front tires?

I could describe it to you but really the best thing to do is read up on some build threads and see what others have done to the Deadbolt, I just bought a Deadbolt 2 and I'm doing the same thing...there are tons of builds since it has been around so long. I bought a new bumper for mine and will post it up in my build thread if I start one (the truck gets here tomorrow but all of the bits/pieces are scattered around and won't arrive for a few weeks).

For my OG SCX10 when I had a Jeep body on it I just drilled new holes in the bumper mount (the tubes that insert into the frame cross member), slid it in further, and bolted it down. That moved it in a 1/2 inch or so. You just have to look at the relationship between the components and remember it is only plastic :)

That stock bumper sits too low, too far out, and is too wide. That's why I ordered a different one and will be making my own frame cross member/mount to move it up and in. I like the body a lot on the DB but it looks like it is just slapped on the frame in a mock-up and that's as far as they got with it :( I suppose that's what you get when you use the same chassis, brackets, and body mounts for 3 different trucks.

The proline Ridgeline narrow bumper might fit your needs. I got one on a Bronco build, can fit LEDs inside the bumper and has a spot for mounting a winch
