Got my JCR crusader front bumper installed. I think it's one of the cleanest looking bumpers out there for the Bronco. Took about a month to arrive from when I ordered. Packaging was good, lots of foam surrounding the bumper. There was a very small blemish when it arrived, probably from shipping. Just took a black permanent marker to touch it up.
I had the plastic front bumper without fog lights, so install was pretty easy. I was able to remove old bumper, install the JCR and mount the fog lights by myself in about an hour. I few of the mounting bolts are a little hard to get to, so having a ratcheting 15mm wrench is a must. Added an Amazon 20 inch light bar and fog lights to finish it off. Highly recommend if you're looking for a non winch aftermarket bumper.

More pics please. How much does it weigh? Do the ends come off to skinny it down?

It weighs about 45 pounds. Ends do not come off, it's a one piece design. It's pretty slim already and has tons of clearance in front of the tire. I'll get more pics in the morning...

None at all. The JCR bumper completely clears the tow hooks. The bumper also flows well with the factory plastic skid plate with no gaps in between. I do have jcr skids though that are next to install

That's good to hear. I keep going back and forth on JCR and DV8. I like JCR's a bit better but the tow hook was a question for me. Just wish it was a little cheaper!

That looks really good. Any side shots to show how far it sticks out?

This is my favorite bumper right now. Just wish it came in aluminum like the rest of their bumpers! If they made the front and rear in aluminum Iā€™d get them in a heartbeat.

It's pretty lightweight (about 45 pounds) if weight is the concern as it's not a bulky bumper.

Thatā€™s not bad but half the weight with increased corrosion resistance would be much better.
