Anyone seen any companies offering low profile light bar for the capable bumper?

Very unlikely. Rigid has multiple light bar mounting options, one is at the roof line (tops off). The other is in the same spot, but with the roof back on. It's for a 40" light bar and not a 15" - 20" like I imagine you want to put on your bumper. I saw a couple bolt on bull bar options on Amazon that you may be able to use universal mounts to stack the light bar onto

I just drilled into bumper to add this Baja Design 10" S8. It throws a lot of light and I was able to push it back far enough where it sits behind the bumper a bit.

I just spray painted these black and used self tapping screws ($5):

There is probably a better solution but so far this is working great.

I was looking for something like this. Wife was excited for months planning her lights until we picked the bronco up last week to find this capable bumper.

It is able to have a light bar if you want it. Just have to measure for the one you want

@ColeTrain84 What does the camera view look like? Which bull bar did you get?

Not exactly like that, but I found this not too long ago: https://mandronline.com/products/copy-of-2022-ford-bronco-capable-bumper-40in-light-bar

Has options for white, amber, and white w/ amber DRL
I do like the M&R bar and I think it fits nicely, but I decided I didn't want to block the "medium risk" area shown in the bottom diagram. Should be fine on a Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, or Black Diamond though, since they all have bigger grill openings.

Of course, any bumper-mounted light bar is going to block some of the yellow area on the Badlands/Wildtrak/First, and the M&R bar is probably the smallest option. Personal preference on whether you're comfortable with it! I'm looking at other options, maybe fog lights, ditch lights, or a windshield light bar.

Thanks for the diagram! I had not seen this one and I now understand why some folks were skeptical of mounting a winch in this same spot. Unfortunately, it's about my only option for one with the capable bumper
