[Last Ride Bronco]

The powder coat (sheen) doesn’t look right.

Have you tried looking for a factory take off. There has to be plenty around. I know when I upgraded my rear, I just threw out the factory unit.

There is a reasonable amount of work and additional parts needed to swap.

What real off road bumper did you go with?

From Heep to fullsize: Warn ARB Custom

I wish it had parking sensor holes.

Easy to make with a drill...Ebay for clips...

To the OP, as said before what's your application? If you think you might ever wheel in any serious capacity, just know the stock bumper and many afterrmarket are poorly made. As the one poster said a deer took out his capable bumper. Application is the most important part of this.

From Heep to fullsize: Warn ARB Custom

Going by the weight of the ARB bumper, it surely seems well built, however aesthetically it looks more fitting on a mid 80's 1 ton on a ranch in Montana or a 70's Land Rover.

The heeps Warn is not to heavy as i recall, it was installed in December of 14. The ARB is very heavy! i was glad for it when i spooled both turbos on a rock ledge in low. it grabbed climbed and even with both feet on the brake petal...it slammed into the next ledge. I believe most bumpers would have been badly dented. it slightly bent the ARB by the hilift hole.

Mainly just wanted a better looking bumper and a stronger one at that then the plastic one. My one concern is how bad the powder coating will look but I guess we shall see soon with the dude who bought it haha. Hopefully the sale still exists by then.

Keeping an eye on this - have a plastic I’d like to upgrade and way too much of the aftermarket stuff requires modular bumper to bolt to, making this somewhat attractive.

Even if the powercoat sucks - paint isn’t too expensive, if it’s actually steel and has the same bolt patterns as OEM

I have a front capable someone can have.

Come on who hasn't heard of kuafu bumpers

I have been keeping an eye on these, from what I understand several on here have bought them and they are just fine. Take-off factory bumpers are not that good of a deal unless you find one locally, and they are in demand, so that is not a likely option. These cheap bumpers are available with the parking sensor holes, but I think they are more like $600. Also, the cheaper $300 version has the ends of the bumper fully removable whereas the $600 version has the ends retain a bar on the top, of that makes sense.

If you hate Amazon, like I do (my account got hacked in '17, I got e-mails that my e-mail and password had been changed but no link to click if it wasn't me, couldn't get help on the site because I had to log in to get any kind of support, googled the number and got a call center in India and their answer was "We'll let our security team know and they'll let you know in 24 hours what they find". I had to get all new credit cards, and Amazon did give my account back, and nothing was ordered, but the whole experience could have been avoided had they implemented 1 of several simple authentication methods.) Anyway, if you hate Amazon, use ebay or walmart, usually just as good with better shipping times and cheaper. I ordered running boards through Walmart marketplace, and they didn't look as good in person as they did online, I took them to the store and returned them

And, someone has drilled the parking sensor holes on this bumper with a step bit and it came out nicely

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the same bumper as the factory.
Look at the build sheet on how much of the Bronco is foreign parts.
Made in America, more like assembled in America.

It's insane that these Chinese knockoffs/ripoffs are allowed.

Broncos are made in China too
