I cant tell somebody put white pasties w/number on it!Is this not the same bumper? Idk
This brings up a final point I was going to make. If you look at my above pics, my Bronco, though very aesthetic, is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL when trying to recover. If you are truly stuck, your bumper WILL BE BURIED! Sure sometimes you can hammer down and get in a frt end high position...not always! Look at the 2 jeep bumpers...the winch is mounted high and easily accessable. On the red jeep it pretty much blocks off the grill! When that one is stuck (as it often is) its bing bang boom and out...The white jeep I have actually gotten stuck deliberately in order to provide anchor for others. My bronco, however, is ALWAYS the heaviest vehicle in the group and when its stuck...OH MAN is it ever! But add having to dig through the mud just to find my winch? No fun at all!Probably has to sit on top so the winch won't block the intercooler
Bumpers are pretty simple. I'd bet at least a couple companies will have them for sale before you get your Bronco.I will have to see them in person. On my FJ I ran an ARB up front and an Expedition-1 in the rear. It will likely take the aftermarket a year or so to catch up with Bronco parts.
I think peeps are gonna go nutz with the bd. have to use those aux switches for something. why not a couple of lights that can see 1/2 mileLooks like for the modular ford will sell various add on bars and stuff for protection, lights, looks... I do like the look and flexibility of it
