Does the included wrench tool work on the modular bumper?

[etmccaus86]

Positive

Did you watch/ listen to that video?
"For most of the body-mounted stuff, you will need Torx Plus."

Go plug in a TP40 and a T40 to the bumper bolts and tell me what fits best.

Many threads on this topic. The torx bits included in the Bronco tool kit are standard torx bits and they do indeed fit in the bolts on the modular bumper BUT they are not the correct bits. They will strip the bolts if you try. You need a Torx+ 40 bit for the modular bumper. I purchased the Torx+ bit on Amazon and installed my brush bar myself. I also tested the standard torx bit (after reading an extensive thread on this topic) and partially stripped the bolt prior to purchasing the Torx+ bit.

T = Torx
TT = Torx Tamper-Resist
TP = Torx Plus

"T-40", "TT-40", or "TP-40", will be stamped right on the bit. If you have a 40 and it wiggles around too much it's not a TP.

Be careful with this. TP is often used when referring to Tamper Proof Torx, not only Torx Plus.

Torx Security = Tamper Proof = Tamper Resist

I think someone else mentioned this set on this thread. Just got these delivered today. Can't speak to quality yet, but I'm definitely set on weird ass Torx bits for life. TP40 fits perfect on the Mod bumper.

I don't get why people argue on here about this. Multiple posts showing the TP fitting. There is no way you put a T40 into this bolt and think it's a good fit. I'm not a master mechanic, but after seeing how much slop there was, looked on BG6 for the right solution. This is WAY too much slop to think it's a good fit.

If you want to strip out your bumper bolts, cool. It's absolutely, 100% a TP, not a standard Torx. You do you. Not sure why Ford did this, being that yes, a standard Torx could steal your lights, or other accessories and strip the shit out of it in a hurry. I even went to a Ford dealer, talked to service and they were confused. I need a better service department, apparently. I can almost guarantee you, no one locally sells this. NAPA does, if you order and Northern Tool (if you have one) and it's in stock.

EDIT: Beadlock rims are different. Those are T45. Just buy a Torx kit. Shits all over the board. The more you know....

No they are not, they are regular Torx!

No? You are wrong and or very bad at wrenching. There is no possible way you think the slop for a standard torx is cool in this bolt. Are you working on a Jeep?

I added a TP40 drill bit to my order at 4x4truckLEDs ($5) and then ordered https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UYZ7EU?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
my toolset is complete.
