Replacing factory bumper with modular bumper

[Pdshepherd]

Been looking everywhere but only see people asking for a parts list but no one has compiled one that I can find. Anyone see any real list? Surprisingly I can’t find a YouTube specific to swap to modular from the non-capable one either.

You just need the bumper that matches your vehicle ( sensors or no sensors) and the modular bumper intercooler mounts (can also use factor non modular bumper ones just have to cut them). Can use the factory hardware that holds on your plastic bumper.

I bought a whole bumper and bought the mounts separately because I didn’t want to cut my mounts. Once you get the old bumper off, it’s a direct replacement.



I used this video to show me how to take it off. Then just reversed it with the new one and changed out the intercooler mounts.

lengthy for not a lot of info, sorry.

This should give a decent list of parts.

Thanks. I agree on not chopping the tow hooks. Looking like a $1k adventure no matter what.

Depends I found a good deal on front and rear metal bumpers and rock rails for less than 1k on marketplace. Just keep an eye out.

One was about $800 and that included the bumper, new mounts rather than cut, and LineXing the front bumper. The key is finding a replacement HD mod bumper with or without sensor holes at a good price.

Prices are old, but probably still close. It's absolutely a good idea to get a modular bumper (with or without sensor holes to match your stock bumper) from someone getting rid of theirs to go aftermarket. That would take care of everything but the towhook-less bumper brackets and parking sensor grommets.

Perfect. Yea agree I need to source someone changing it out.

WTBs in both the classifieds and state-specific forums on here seem to get decent traction, and there are a handful on eBay

Needle in a haystack it seems. I’m sure a bunch of folks are looking for the same thing. I’d start a new thread asking for help but I bet the internet police would be all over me. Lol.

Did these 4 parking sensor brackets work for your swap? The only parts diagram I can find showing the parking sensor brackets is for the capable bumper and not the modular. Since both are steel I'm assuming they're using the same size holes and these will work, but I wanted to double-check.

Here are some pics, we are getting close. Just missing the plastic covers surrounding the recovery hooks on both sides.

Forget the covers.

Yep, those four part numbers fit the mod bumper perfectly
