I'm running a roadmaster nighthawk with the roadmaster adapters for the recovery points on the OEM HD Modular Bumper. Pulled the Bronco almost 5000 miles over the last year with that setup, no issues.

Thank you Paul, what wiring harness are you using for the Bronco lights?

Did you have to modify anything to get the adaptors to fit on the d-rings? The ones I received are too tight to slip over to put the pin in.
I used the 035-1, fit fine with no mods.

That's the one I purchased and it's just a hair too tight to fit on d-rings. Ugh!

I have a Big Bend (not LED tail lights) I used the RM-152 kit, since the tow bar came with the 7-pin cable and connector. I installed a trailer hitch at the same time, so I spliced the roadmaster harness into the Curt trailer hitch harness that I used and installed them together. Only tricky part was finding places to mount the diodes that didn't interfere with the lights or other trim panels, but it wasn't too hard.

Interesting, I have a '22, fits no problem, even has a little play.

Again thank you Paul, we have an outer banks model which does have the LED lights.

Is anyone using the LOD Offroad front bumper frame tie(bft2101) with their mod bumper? I do like that it gives a place to hook safety cables. Just got my new 23 WT and itching to get it hooked to the motorhome.

Post #526, I had to cut notches in the bumper of my OBX to accommodate the LOD brackets. But it looks like different trims have different bumper clearances.

Much appreciate the help. Thanks folks, for not executing me for not finding it with a search! :) I was sure I read this whole 40 page thread. This is so full of valuable information, it needs an index! We are hoping to hit the Mighty 5 in Utah in May. Got a lot of adds to make to the bronco before then.

Does anyone know if the latest software release that gave full screen CarPlay did anything for the electronic brake booster?

Thanks so much for everyone posting on this topic. I've learned so much but of course have sooo many questions.

I've seen some post their setups with the JCR Vanguard bumper. Is anyone using the JCR Crusader front bumper in their flat tow setup? Would it work equally as well or are the attachment points on it not suitable for flat towing? Thanks!

Has there been a change in the modular bumper hooks? I have seen that the Roadmaster 035-1 seems to work for some but others are saying they are a bit too narrow to fit. I measured mine and I am certain that they will not fit. Mine are 1-1/16+. I have not put the calipers to it yet but definitely bigger that the 1 inch. I would much prefer a proper adapter but would entertain switching out the modular hooks for something that is 1" wide or another solution. Really trying not to buy another bumper. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
