So I really do not like plastic bumpers. I do not like them on my Bronco. So today I did something about it. But as with some experience with foreign produced parts, a part was missing. Which part, you ask? The D-ring that helps to hold the bumper and allegedly supports thousands of pounds of pull with three bolts. While I'm complaining to the sells people, I had intended in ordering the Ford RED D-ring mounts to replace these. However, I'm adding a winch mount and these replace the D-ring mounts anyway. So for a few days I will sport about town without one of the mounts.
Also, didn't realize that the plastic bumper with its plastic shield does not fit the modular bumper.
In the pictures you can see my original plastic bumper with fog lights. Never got to use them. LOL. Just unplugged the line that connects the bumper to the vehicle. I've ordered the Mabett raptor style fog lights and was pulling to wire the white light portion to the stock switch. However, my electric skills are still pending development so I might just go to the recommended AUX switches. I don't really want to splice the harness or even cut the plug off the departing lights (but I might)
Parts laid out shows I'm missing one of the D-rings.
Two person job or one determined old guy and a 5 gallon bucket and an empty hard plastic cooler. Fairly easy.
I measure the front fender height before and after and there was no change. Will try again when the winch mount arrives and then when I add the winch. I had a Warn in my 2020 Colorado ZR2 Bison. but honestly I never used it. So I might just get a Harbor Freight Badlands 12K with a two year warranty and call it a day.
