This always confuses me. I’ve been looking for a mod bumper but I hear it’s a nightmare to find parts to swap it out, but then I hear others say, just find a used take off. Why would a take off be easy to switch but buying a new one wouldn’t? What am I missing? Wouldn’t you need all the same parts?
Yes I know those are options. N
I think it’s because the mod bumper takes a lot of pieces to assemble from scratch. It’s not hard, it is a little expensive but just need to compile the parts list.
Thanks. That makes sense. I’ve just had the concern of trying to come up with parts to swap out with a takeoff. But I assume if I find a take off, it’s different than having to “build” a new mod number. Thanks for clarifying.
Exactyl. It’s just easier to try to get the parts list together to make sure I have all parts necessary to make it whole. I know a lot of people have successfully installed take offs but no one seems ti have quite a definitive list yet :/
Unfortunately it’s more parts than that. The mod bumper is composed of multiple smaller parts that make it whole including a bunch of parts behind the metal main bumper piece it seems. I’ve found some sites and threads on here that discuss it in part but it’s rather confusing and a bit incomplete.
I see probably 10+ posts a week on various Bronco parts groups on Facebook with people looking to sell the full MOD bumper setup for $300-700. I bought one off of another Forum member for $500, much cheaper than building it out new from Ford through the parts department
Hmm I’ll keep my eyes out. Seems rather rare to see them pop up, especially ones that may be willing to ship to LA. I’m following like 6 diff Bronco groups on FB and I haven’t seen a single one pop up. And I very rarely see them popping up on here as well.
Easiest is to find a take off along with the front tow hooks and intercooler mounts. If you don't have sensors, great. If you do, make sure you get those too since the plastic bumper sensors are different than the MOD bumper.
