Absolutely, the ends don’t have any support behind them. They just mount to the center section of the bumper. The center section is mounted to the frame horns

Code Orange Raptor has the modular bumper. You can just remove bumper ends with the lights. It’s just a few bolts and wiring harness disconnect to remove them.

Thanks for the link, I’ll use this in the future. i got the wheel off yesterday and started to pull the tie rod off the spindle, spindle was slightly loose. Tightened that and no squeaks/creaks.

Been there. Done that. Ha ha

That’s a BIG read, but very useful! I’m looking forward to digging down into imbedded links. Fortunately it validates my approach (mostly). Just installed your UCAs, alignment lockouts and replaced the top hat bearings about six weeks ago. Now I’ve got the rear ultra flex arms sitting in...

The typical Bronco Raptor shade consists of either “the flares are ugly” or “they should of built it as a two door”. Today’s shade is my pool umbrella mounted in two quick fists on the accessory ready hinge bolts. Apologies if someone else posted this idea, I didn’t see anything after a...

Short segment of a trip to Bald Mountain area in Sierras. This is a cool little spur that took us for fun loop with great views On the way to the fire lookout. So nice I did it twice.

Thank you for your contribution to Science!

Probably doesn’t answer your questions, but click the link in the OP, or this: https://fordraptornation.com/collections/premium-raptor-series-perry-parts more than the typical aftermarket parts seller‘s amount of info. They offer a “no questions” 8 yr warranty on the bumps themselves. I...
