First, I really like the bumper’s looks, it’s very well made and the price Is affordable. I purchased way back on Black Friday and just now found the time to do the install. its a common bumper, so I’ll skip to the issues. My bronco is a 2023 two Door with mid package, so I have the sensors. The tabs that hold the sensors to the bumper won’t fit the sensors that have the 90° plug. Most of the sensors I’ve seen have the plug that enters to the side of the sensor, mine plugged straight into the back of the sensor, but offset to one side. It’s a simple fix. I just ground out a rectangular slot in the tab and it fit around the plug on the sensor. Not a big deal, but if this is a 2023 and newer sensor, Turn should update those tabs. Second issue was missing hardware. I was missing one of the bolts for the LED light and also about half the hardware for the license plate relocation kit. again, not a huge deal, I just used hardware I already had, but it really needs to be coated or stainless, so I’ll be updating that soon. Final issue, the bumper top gap. I installed the provided spacers and the bumper fit great and the gap was tight, but when I closed the tailgate, the bumper top was high enough to push the gas strut off the post connected to the body. So every time I’d shut the tailgate. The strut would ride up and pop off. Today I made an additional spacer out of some scrap steel, that was just shy of 3/16” thick. I painted them and stacked them in with the other spacers. This seems to have worked and provided just enough gap to not rub the strut.
just a few little details to keep in mind if ordering a new bumper. Again, I like the bumper And I’d buy it again and I have no issues with the quality. Just a few little details that could be addressed and save someone a little extra work.
