Does the wrench included with the Bronco work on the bolts on the modular bumper?

They do not.If no one answers in three minutes, I'll be right back. Going to check if mine fit.
Impressive! Right on the 3-minute mark.They do not.

Thank you for mentioning the size! I'll be sure to add that to my toolkit.You need the t-40 torx size which is not in the kit. I learned that last week installing my fog lights. Stupid not to include it but I was lucky to find one in another torx set before I was off to the hardware store.
T = TorxWarning! The bumper bolts are Torx TP-40, which is Torx Plus. They’re slightly larger than a standard T-40. I was able to do my bolts with a standard T-40 but it was a risk. I’m looking for the TP-40 driver but they are surprisingly hard to find.

Note that Torx Plus are NOT what some people think - there are also tamper-proof Torx drivers which get sold as the oversize Torx Plus ones.
Just ordered them, thanks for the recommendation.Color me impressed with myself.
@carrellslake Pick up this set of torx bits and you'll have everything you'll ever need to work on your Bronco and then some.

They're superb quality at a reasonable price.
I tried to explain that to at least 3 guys at three different auto parts stores. None of them had TP bits once I had them show me all the Torx in the stores.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.
Lowes. 100%, they'll have them.I tried to explain that to at least 3 guys at three different auto parts stores. None of them had TP bits once I had them show me all the Torx in the stores.
Lowe’s Canada - nope. Home Depot Canada - nope. Canadian Tire - oddly, nope. KMS Tools - nope.Lowes. 100%, they'll have them.
