The highly anticipated Steel Bender front & rear bumpers are available now!

Inspired by the canyon lands of Moab, the Steel Bender Front Bumper from HAVOC Offroad is built to be as tough as the trail itself. Crafted from a muscular 1/8-inch steel plate, the Steel Bender takes a no-nonsense approach to bumper design. No bells, no whistles, all business. The Steel Bender features a low profile stinger with concealed hardware and massive 1-inch thick dual-drilled recovery hooks accept 3/4 and 7/8-inch D-shackles and provide a convenient snatch point for a kinetic rope. At the corners, integrated hi-lift jack recesses stand at the ready to give you a solid lifting point for trail repairs. Plus the Steel Bender Front Bumper is compatible with all the Bronco’s factory equipment like proximity sensors and front camera, not to mention OE and aftermarket flares, so your Bronco can tackle the rough stuff in style.

Can a winch be mounted in that space on the Steel Bender?
Probably not because the intercooler is in there. I plan on using Mishimoto's high mount intercooler which moves it into the grille area. I will be mounting the winch in-between the frame rails near where the intercooler was, not the bumper. After the which has been mounted then I can just bolt a bumper on normally and "trim" if necessary for winch clearance/use.

Great Price Points of $899 and $499 with Free Shipping

But what really caught my eye was the Metal Masher front bumper. That one has me going “Hmmmmm”
Same, but I'd want a similar rear too. I really like 4WP rear bumper but it's little pricy for me right now, and doesn't have a front bumper I like.

Looks like one of the better choices for what my plans are. I plan on ADV fenders and a high mount Mishimoto intercooler so I can mount my Warn winch were the intercooler used to be.

I do have a question about the front sensor mounts. In your picture of the bumper alone it does not have any but in all of the " in action" shots it has the sensors. As I read though the info about this bumper, I did not see a with or without sensors option.

Although all if those "fancy bits" are nice at times, I plan on using my Bronc off road a lot. I have reserved a Basesquatch V-6 back in Aug of 2020 and have no need for the sensor kick outs. Will they be an option?? or will I have to "customize" the bumper to my needs?

So far, I like the setup for where my fairlead would be, and that the hoop and bumper are kept back closer to the grille, much closer than most of them out there. I'm all about approach angle. I did not like many of the "Jay Leno's chin" style bumpers that are out there right now. This design however is much better.

Also curious if the front skid comes with it???

Another, more general question, I have is, why do many bumper manufactures not follow the body line in the rear???

I mean most all of them, like yours, have the "kick up" on the outside however that "kick up" does not follow the factory body line "kick up". In this day and age of "scanning" everything I do not understand this. It is almost as if the bumper was made for a different model and then just bolted on the Bronc and then someone decided, "Eh, close enough" :unsure: This is much harder to "customize", I might as well build the bumper myself. For me it would just save me some time if I can get bumpers that are at least close to my liking instead of building them it would save me a lot of time as I have already had to wait so long for the Bronc. :)
What do you think of LOD's rear bumper that is coming out? I think I follows the rear body line. Has an integrated rear hitch too.

ACC work?
Made in USA of US steel?
I didn't see an answer to your country of origin question, but at these prices I'm going to say it's highly highly unlikely to be MiUSA.

Does the front bumper accept the factory or elite fog lights. They look round on the pics. What size light bar?
Yes, it accepts the factory fog lights. The light bar is a 20" installed on this one.

I don't see where you mention the lightbar size? Is that a 20" Black Out series? Did you wire that to an upfitter switch or tie it into the fogs?

Yes, it's the 20" and used an aux switch to tie in.
