I wouldn't go for it. I'm really just getting less and less enamored with China's Outlet Store (aka Amazon... ).

Looks like it is from the same Ford Bronco parts factory

At that price I’ll give it a go as well, especially with a January 31 return window and a UPS store just down the hill.

It weighs 78 pounds, what does a factory one weigh? I would look at a real off road bumper if you plan on doing any sort of off roading. If only once in a while I hit a dirt road on the way to the mall this might be fine.

What the heck are you hitting with your bumper?
I think the modular bumper is by far the nicest looking Bronco bumper, most 3rd party offerings look like someone's welding experiment gone wrong and way too heavy!

Nothing yet. That is why I still have a capable bumper. If I damage it while out and about I will look for one that will take a hit with a hammer. I go of functionality over looks.

That's you, I also go with functionality, light and don't hit things I don't need to! lol

Probably woulda been best to just order it and return if needed since the window is til january. Maybe the price will drop sometime though, in the mean time we can wait for the reviews!!

Its here!

I'll start off by saying; I wouldn't be shocked if these are actual ford bumpers.... metal is thick, hardware is a factory match, even the plastic face covers feel like ford plastic.

Now on to the important stuff.....

It arrived last night, I opened it this morning, the box looked like it was in good shape, upon opening; the bumper definitely had a tough journey from China.... And there was no assembly manual.... I reached out to the seller to see what to do next, as I'm hoping for a discount. Here are some pictures of the panels up close as well as some of the damage. Also, I love the text on the box, I was laughing pretty hard when I read that.

Also, this amazon bumper is the exact eBay bumper, box has the same part number.

I just got one this week, have it assembled waiting on the ford brackets that don’t have the tow hooks welded on to arrive to install it, took a little head scratching but fiq how to put it together, it is pretty damn heavy and solid. Only plastic as shown above were the two pieces that cover the bolts around the tow hook area. Ordered oracle round fog light kit and it installed perfectly in the openings on each side, mine had one or two small rub marks from packing, got matte black textured spray paint from HD and touched up just so I wouldn’t have any bare metal and it matches perfectly, pretty damn happy with it, also ordered a metal skid plate from same company and it is just as thick and solid as bumper….factory finish on bumper matches oem to a tee, I can also help or send pics if someone is having trouble assembling, I contacted them about no instructions and they apologized and gave me $30 refund so I’m under $300

could you shed light on where the longer hex bolts go?

I'm also a proponent of not lugging around a lot of extra weight, to avoid the performance penalty.

But I push things such as other vehicles with my flat Jeep bumper (a reason I don't want the shackle "fangs" sticking out that seem all the rage these days). The bumper sometimes gets slammed into things off-road. Also I use the bumper as an outdoor work bench, clamping wood and metal to the bumper for cutting/grinding/hammering.

I haven't found many good Bronco bumpers for the above usages, so probably I'll weld up my own bumper design next summer.

I only needed to use two of the longer ones and not because I needed a longer bolt, but because packing didn’t have enough of the shorts so I used them at the upper part when connecting the side piece, I was two nuts short, but picked those up at hardware store, fyi bolts or nuts if needed are m8x1.25x30mm

either mine came with way too many bolts, or I have no idea what I'm doing.

any chance you have a picture of where you used a nut clip vs an actual nut? I'm also confused why I have so many washers, do some of these get a washer on both sides?

Could you weigh it by chance? Just wondering how much it'll say. I'm sure you can follow a guide on youtube or something if it's the same thing.
