The ARB bumper is not ready for prime time yet. Here is a photo I took today to show how it's blocking the intercooler and ACC.

The pic gives a certain perspective... I think it looks ready-2-go. Both front and rear... including the clean and simple look of the rails. ARB claims to have done their homework. I hope that entails making sure the ACC and intercooler works as they should. My only issue is that I do not know where I would be able to mount a front license plate.

Good catch! Wouldn’t they just have to open the gap a bit to fix that? Looks like the radar may be slightly blocked as well.

The ACC, active cruise control radar sensor, only available on the Lux package, is clearly blocked, radar does not travel through metal. There has been conflicting information if this sensor is only used for the ACC or also for the emergency braking.

As far as the intercooler goes, it is possible they are getting enough air flow around the sides, were the red tow hooks are, but without seeing the thermal model its hard to say.

Here is a second shot at a slightly higher perspective but even in this view the ACC sensor is still half blocked. It also looks like ARB has the license place mounting screw anchors pre-installed, on the front silver plate on either side of the ACC sensor area.

I hope Truck and Jeep fest will be back in Colorado this year. I missed having it last year.

did you or anyone happen to see how that black graphic went up on the hood at all? Bummer they won’t be making them available. I love the look on the red.
That truly is a Big BUMMER that those graphics won't be offered...but I'm willing to bet SOMEONE in the aftermarket world WILL make those graphics for us. I love the 4WP build.

Interesting that the ARB Bronco now has a hard top and roof rack 🤘🏻
