Nice looking unit.
Is it possible to use with a flat tow set up like Blue Ox?

I ain't no fancy engineer but does this not completely block the airflow to the intercooler?

Well we've got you covered there too!

Below the bumper and also in front of the winch we have an air scoop to help direct air to the intercooler.

Absolutely! We hope to have all the pricing and options up on our website very soon!

Following closely…..flat towing is probably of more importance to me than winching.
The Blue Ox tow base modifies the OEM modular bumper recovery points to make them adaptable to the tow bar - don’t see that happening here…..but one can hope.

Getting ready for the show! I was able to sneek a shot of the Shorty Front Bumper (no winch) option!

How much?

Flat towing is the main reason I’m buying the Bronco so I’ve been researching and following developments closely.

LOD has tow bar adapters on their website for their Jeep bumpers for both Blue Ox and Roadmaster tow bars. I’m assuming those will also work with this bumper and enable you to connect tow bars directly to the recovery points.

In the pictures on this thread the recovery points appear to be solid steel and attached directly to the frame eliminating the need for an additional base plate with the right adapter.

Roadmaster also makes their own adapters (035-1) that might work. I’m not sure about Blue Ox since I’m not using their tow bars.

If there’s a reason you think this won’t work I’m all ears. This will be the first rig I’ve flat towed so I have zero experience and have only learned via research over the past 18 months while waiting for the Bronco.

Tilzbow is correct. We offer tow bar adapters for Blue Ox and Roadmaster which connect directly to our tow points. We will also be offering Front Bumper Frame Tie in Brackets. These add additional support to the front frame face plate and also add a hook up point for the safety chains. These are really popular with our Jeep customers who flat tow.

@LOD Offroad Does your bumper work with the factory front skid plate from the Sasquatch package or do we need to order yours?

If your skid plate looks like this one, then yes it should fit no problem. However it may look a little out of place because there will be a gap between the bumper and skid plate and they wont meet up quite right. Also our Front Differential Skid Plate will not work with your stock front skid.
