JCR Vanguard Bumper Installed!

[Moose1917]

ACC bracket is on order as well as a camera relocation kit. I wanted to wait to see how it looked before I relocated the camera. It’s certainly usable, but having it out front would be way mo bedda.

I laughed out loud at the front of the 360 view there! Looking forward to the follow-up when you get the relocation kit.

@Primed_in looks awesome, can’t wait to receive mine. Looks like you had the plastic front bumper and skid plate. How does it look with the plastic skid plate? Considering ordering the metal skid from @JcrOffroad.

How about the weight of the bumper/winch vs. factory? Any noticeable compression of front springs?

Such a cool old school look.
How does the skid plate line up with it?
If you had the standard bumper are the tow hooks still there after the swap?
Could you post some photos from a lower angle?
Great looking bronco!

I had the mod bumper and metal skid plate. I think it looks just fine, I’ll try to grab a picture once it’s daylight

I was worried about that too and I can’t notice any difference even with heavier braking. JCR bumper and winch is definitely heavier though.

Is the powder coating finish disrupted by the R/F tow hook?

Nah, that’s just a little residue from the packing material that I haven’t bothered to scrub off. Not sure why it stuck, the rest of it unpacked just fine

Any issues with the 2.7L and the intercooler?

Nope. Everything fit as supposed to and I had no increase in temp after obeying all posted speed limits on the interstate

They offer the bumpers in aluminum too which would be lighter.

FYI, JCR themselves mention that the ACC relocation bracket probably won't work with this bumper because one of the vertical bars is in the way.
