Warn Elite Bumper w/ Grille Guard Tube Announced for 2021 Bronco

[RedHotFuzz]

Roughly $4,000 for the bumper, winch, and relocation kit for the controls. Whoo!

Chump change for many of the off-roading enthusiasts on this site it seems.

Forgive my ignorance, but isn’t there a winch plate that is ready to mount on the HD bumper?

This is just announced? Lol I found this 5 days just googling Bronco bumpers so it’s been up on their website for almost a week. It looks good but hell no on that price.

Oh boy, another winch bumper completely silent on the effects on the Intercooler blockage and no test data to show it will not be a problem.

Airflow, WHERE???

Remember even the stock Bronco has the radar box in the front, it's used for Pre-collision and AEB I believe (yet to see any broncos without it.) With some of the electronic issues popping up I wouldn't be surprised if these bumpers that block that box will mess up those systems and flag everything

I gotta figure out a way to disable it. My wife's Acura MDX auto braking about got her ran over in an intersection the other day. The car in front of her flipped up a plastic lid that was laying in the street and the radar picked it up as a car and her Acura slammed on the auto braking in the middle of an intersection with a green light.

Exactly.
Seems most of the companies already listing bumpers may just be re-purposing a design based on other vehicles (Ranger? Raptor??) without bothering to see how it works with the available features on the Bronco.

To be clear for those unaware, the Intercooler and ACC (if equipped) are located in that big rectangular opening below the grille. There's a reason that's left open on the factory bumpers.

Glad to see this one at least considers the camera - that's progress at least.

In another group, there are often renders posted with a Yay/Nay. And each time, I mention the same omission (lack of airflow for the intercooler) as you did. I feel like I'm the party pooper to the onslaught of those chiming in Yay.

Intercooler (solid red line) and ACC Box (dotted red line) for reference.

I dunno if it'll be possible without bricking the system. I don't think it'll be as easy as the Auto-Start/Stop bricks you plug into the OBDM

Will this replace the standard plastic bumper? It says on their website that part of the skid plate needs to be trimmed in order for the Warn bumper to fit. Not sure if that means modular skid plate, standard skid plate, or both.

Lipstick only belongs on one.

Thanks for getting this pic up so quickly. Wanted to do the same, but bouncing between things at the moment and on my phone.
See how easy it would be for these aftermarket companies to do a little bit of research before pushing out a design?

Part Number: 107856

• Designed, tested, and hand-built in the USA
• Tested to 12,000 lbs. pulling capacity
• Integrated off-road jack lifting points
• Welded, one-piece construction uses 3/16” thick steel

However, buyers can retain the camera’s functionality if they select the Elite Bumper without grille guard tube, and relocate the winch’s control pack from atop the winch. Control box relocation hardware is available.

One thing I really think Ford needs to reconsider is the forward facing camera position. Silly that they market accessories that will block out a feature of the vehicle. Poor planning for something they knew would have bumpers and winches going on.

just a note the bumper is made in USA, the winch is not.

the only company that I know of that sells 100% made in USA winches is Ramsey
