Description says in front. "...ACC (adaptive cruse control) We have come up with a bracket to relocates it in front of the grille to allow the system to be used with a winch."

You are right it is in front of the grill. I was thinking of another bracket. Sorry, I will fix my last post.

So there is another bracket that puts it behind the grill? I could live with that. Do we know if there are any issues with that though, function wise?

I am not sure. I am worried about moving the ACC anywhere but it has to be done. General consensus seems to be that it may require some minor adjustments no need for recalibration.

ADD makes a behind the grill bracket.

I agree! Two new entries I’ve been tracking closely are JCR Off-road and LOD. Both have nice options, see links for details.

Does anyone more connected than me have info on the ARB Summit as far as shipping/production timelines goes?

HeftyFab is finalizing their prototype front bumper that includes a camera relocation to the bull bar in front of the winch. They were still working on ACC and Safety sensor capability about a week ago when I asked. They have photos on their IG account.

Also love the JCR one coming out soon as well.

Decent looking bumper but at over $3k after delivery, that is harsh.

I hated it in front of the grille so I ripped the front end apart and found a much better location. It's now located behind the R.

Anyone tracking the new winch capable front bumpers from DV8? Thoughts?

Really like the FS, but I wish it didn’t hang so low. it’s too thick imo. But I have shortlisted it, just in case I get my 2021 bronco in 2022.

I worry about the powder coating on them. As other have stated, there have been some issues on some of the Jeep forums. I think they are a company that designs in the US and then they are made in China.

None at all. there is no metal in front of it where it's located. I think the guys with back lit letters might have an issue but that's a conversation for the mall parking lot.
I still need to check the other grille options so far it's been tested with the Badlands/FE grille and performs flawlessly.

Here is a shot of it without the grille and shutters installed.

Now if only my thermal camera will work through the grill, I wouldn't have to worry about lens damage and I might have an edge on the deer that want to kill my Bronco.
