I see a lot of these bumpers have a spot for square pod lights. Does that mean using my OEM fog lights are not recommended with these aftermarket bumpers?

It’s seems they make them to fit the standard 3” lights every makes these days.

And this showed up today!!

Addictive Desert Design Rock Fighter winch bumper. Did a quick mock up to see how it all comes together. Very pleased with it. Now just to get my Wildtrak here off of Ice Mountain Purgatory and I'll be good to go.

Great list and thanks for pulling together. Helps to have in one spot as the list grows. Bumpers are a big topic and very much a personal decision but it’s good to have resources and guidance as to capability, etc of each design. I’m sure there will be more as the competition grows. I’ve looked at many many before even finding this thread and anguished about which are my favs. I think I’ve boiled down to ARB or 4WP but ARB is definitely on top. Some examples I’ve taken screenshots of:

Yes, thanks for the post. I am leaning towards the 4wp bumper. Just like the looks.

One thing I discovered not all manufacturers are front bumper sensor compatible and questionable if they have been tested for proper air bag deployment. Additionally many block critical air flow to the inter cooler which could be trouble if you live in hot environments. I chose ARB as the partnered and tested with Ford. Just don’t want some to be surprised after dropping a few grand on a bumper.

ARB is a great choice and for function/capability is probably the best on the market. It looks a little more “industrial”, maybe why many lean away from it, but I think it looks bada$$ so still on top my list.

This is the bumper I've really wanted since the beginning. But I really want pocket lights. Are those ADD logo pocket hole covers removable? Is there a way to put pocket sets in them (a way to mount)?

Yes, the RF triangle pieces are removable. You could fab up a holder for some cube lights if you're handy.

Mine arrives tomorrow, I went with the 5 RIGID in the middle, 2 amber driving beam, 2 spot, and 1 hyper spot. My top lights went with the RIGID 360's, driving beam.
All I need is a Bronco now
