Got my Bodyguard front winch bumper installed today. Overall, I think it looks good. A few adjustments to make to get it perfect. Also waiting for an upgraded ACC bracket so I had to make my own.

One word for anyone replacing their bumpers. Plan on days to get the job done. There are so many small jobs that have to be done. From the ACC system and wiring, the front parking sensors and the grill/camera. It all takes time. The Modular Bumper took 2 hours to disassemble to get all the parking sensors out. Just be patient if you take the job on.

That looks good! It looks like you got it with the black bolt?

I think that's pretty ugly, especially the hoop.

I replaced the bright stainless with black oxide stainless.
How did you determine the correct bolt size and thread pattern?

The instructions on their website listed the sizes. Bought online from a bolt supply company.

Really like the look of this bumper but curious of the change in approach angle, waiting for info from Bodyguard. Any chance you are willing to measure what the distance from the front painted cowl to the front of the bumper is? Basically how far from the front of the bronco the bumper sits, and then how tall the bumper is in the center of the bumper. From there I can get a good guess of the approach angle.
