Bodyguard Bumper for 2021 Bronco - front bumper with camera relocation and winch

[myrealname123]

$1,500 each OMG . They must be aluminum.?

I didn't look at the bumpers, but the JL version of those sliders is around $1000-$1200.

They must be very proud of the product. Or the owner of saving up for his Learjet.

I originally had a mean comment for you but decided to delete it... so now I gotta fill the space in here...

Move along everyone

Oh, and either extend bumper to outside of flares... or stop at edge of body... NOT in between like they are doing!

I didn’t even notice that! That does look weird, mostly what I like is the LED bull bar.

That's just the cost of quality, made in America (in this case Texas) parts. I am sure there will be cheaper quality and less expensive import alternatives.

First setup I’ve seen like this. Gives some hope to high package folks wanting a winch. Plus some other goodies like spare tire delete.

The highlights:

• The front and rear bumpers have the parking sensors on them
• The front bumper has the front camera relocated so the 360° view isn't messed up by the winch. Hard to see in my low light picture but it's a little pump hanging on the bottom of the light bar.
• This is the most stealthy winch mount I've seen.
• They were still working on ideas for a front license plate mount
• I forgot to take a pic of the rock sliders but they had the same silver bolt contrast with the black powder coat and stuck out more so they could function as steps

(sorry for this low quality picture, this was almost dusk so there was almost no light)

I wonder how much approach and departure angle is lost. Also looking like the winch and lite bar would have been lower than the stock front camera mount. Are the rock sliders frame mounted ar body mounted? Can they hold to some serious rocks 🪨?

That would be an excellent front bumper without the built in light bar. Then you would not have to move the front facing camera, but still end up with a very sleek winch solution. The back bumper looks good too.

I thought that initially, but then I realized that without the bull bar, the space holding the winch is going to stick out like a crazy overbite.

What is the alternative when you get a flat with this setup?

The 4 year roadside assistance plan that comes with the Bronco. If I were to do this, I'd carry the spare inside.

So happy someone is working to move the camera. Like the idea but a little to radical for my taste. Soften the lines a bit and maybe.

Hopefully, all of those contrasting bolts are just mockup. They should color match IMO.

Minus the lack of spare tire it looks great

Love the painted grille and mirrors.

I'm apparently in the very unpopular group of loving a rear tire delete. I just want that plate to color match either the fenders/top or the paint of the vehicle and I'm all in.

I just like the boxy look of the originals. Delete the tire and give me square fenders and I'm happy.

You might be right on the overbite. I would like to see a side view to confirm your thoughts.

You can sort of tell in this shot. Looks like it sticks out maybe 10-14 inches from the grille

I'd like to see some photos and video of the camera views after the relocate. Curious how much it screws up the tire path overlays. Hopefully someone comes up with a means of recalibrating the cameras (and the ACC radar) so we can get even more options without having to sacrifice existing features.

I don’t have a problem with the spare tire delete. Looks pretty good actually as long as you have a plan. Just wish Ford didn’t put that wire pass-thru right there. Not sure why they couldn’t have put it in the middle along with the vent, and hide it under the spare mount.
