Living in CA has its advantages.

Anyone else thinking leveling kit?

Quick - pull that guy over somehow, and ask how the two door steers on the highway. Also, how was the tire noise?

Turbocharged engine. CAC needs airflow.

I think there's some sensors in there too.

Nice! That license plate bracket SUCKS! Unfortunately in MN it’s required. Have to figure out something else.

The box in the bumper is the radar for the anti-collision assist that’s on all Bronco’s. I wish Ford would have put it up in the windshield near the rearview mirror like Jeep does...ugh. Gonna be a pain to relocate due to the active grill shutters. Wonder if it can be disabled in ForScan and then removed

OK but what about on the bumper to the left or right?

The ARB bumper clearly leaves room for airflow to the intercooler, but that front silver piece certainly looks like it would block the radar sensor.

At first I figured that was just a plastic trim piece, but I can see welds and folds, so I think that is indeed metal.

Additionally, those are license plate mounting grommets (the white things).

My conclusion is that ARB just said "f*ck it" and built what they wanted to build.

ARB Bronco doesn't have the Lux package (see 8 in. screen), so likely didn't take that into consideration at all. Basically, what you said...

Now I have to get a winch just to cover the front plate.

Looking in the wiring diagrams the image processing module for lane departure and collision avoidance is at top of windshield,the cruise control module is in the bumper and should be able to relocate if no adaptive cruise.

Is there a mechanical reason it can’t be mounted square in the middle?

adaptive cruise control sensors I believe. One of the builds just released spoke about why there was an opening in that spot on their bumper.

Well I’m out of genius suggestions then. I guess I’ll just leave it to the Ford engineers to figure out.

Get a winch to cover the plate, then a new front camera to work with the winch, then a cup holder that works with the new front camera. Someone stop the madness!!!

Thank you. My order has the std pkg so my tag is going there on a modified bracket.

Yes. It'd block the intercooler and you'd roast your motor.
