B&P renderings

[Used2jeep]

Just noticed that the basic bumper (with fog lights) looks different between the BB and the WT. I wonder if it is just artistic freedom or if there is a legit difference. I'm leaning artistic license but nobody really knows. Except @LEGEND or "The FordStig" @618TRVLWILD. They might "have seen something in the flesh".

It seems the bumper on WT is black and BB is standard grey

Yep. Sasquatch tires are also about 365 wides and look like at least 37’s. Some artistic license being used for sure

That is what I noticed as well. Well, that there might be a touch more ... relief near the ends maybe.

Yeah, that is the "Capable". The BB and WT are standard with the "Standard", aka Plastic, bumper (with fog lights that is).

Yep. I was comparing the BB bumper to the WT bumper. Basically the same, just different color and textures (per the B&P). So hence my call for assistance from "The Moles".

I sent a request to the Stigster..said light on broncos right now. Slow rolling production. Brake boosters had to be expedited in!

Wow, boosters put the brakes on production. Glad they could accelerate that order from the supplier to regain full flow.

Sure enough..had the brakes on for about 3 hours! All rolling again though! Should see about 7 or 8 off the line by end of day!

Honestly, this is something that I just never understood about car manufacturing. Why would an auto manufacturer ever forego using high-strength steel for the most likely points of impact on a vehicle and instead use plastic? I feel like HD steel bumpers should be standard equipment on all vehicles. I know, I know. Vehicles will be more expensive. But, I thought this new fancy steel Ford is using is cheaper to make? That should mean cheaper vehicles, not the opposite.
