Bumper Removal Help (non modular)

[Hblhtx]

My bronco came with the factory bumper (not the heavy duty modular) and I am planning to replace it with a new DV8 bumper. It seems like the removal of the factory bumper may be a little trickier than the modular one. Any guides out there or help? Thanks in advance.

Does the DV8 bumper work with the factory skid plate or no? Kinda been eyeing that route myself.

Thanks. Is it the same for the steel one?

Not sure. Hoping it does and I don’t find out the hard way that it doesn’t.

Uh, if it's the not so capable bumper, you pop the plastic plates, remove 6 bolts and unplug the fogs. Ez.
