Bull bar for non modular bumper

[Kygolfer]

I want to get my son a bull bar for his 2021 big bend. Every picture I look at when looking at bull bar they are attached to the modular front bumper. He doesn’t have modular bumper. Has anyone got a bull bar for non modular bumper and was it difficult to install?

I think you're going to need to be more specific... Bull Bar is a pretty broad term that covers a whole lot of accessories, Everything from a short bar a few inches above the bumper;

To a full on whole grill style Brush Guard;

Once you figure that out, then you'll find out there aren't a lot of choices that fit with the stock Big Bend bumper, but there are some.

Maybe try posting a picture of the style you had in mind, and you might get more help.

You should probably specify which bumper he has. IAG has some new products for the capable bumper. Im not sure whats out there for the base.

The one on white bronco is great! What is it and where can buy it? Presumable just cosmetic? Weight?

That's a pricey one But is nice looking. Steelcraft 51440M

Lot's of places carry it, with varying prices, Here's one;

I don't see a lot of details on it, But If I were to guess I'd say mostly cosmetic, But would protect the grill and lights from light brush, and probably under 100lbs..

Yeah my son’s Bronco is not here at the moment but pretty sure he has the standard bumper, not even the capable bumper. Was wanting a bull bar not a full brush guard.

The Steelcraft linked, installing the headlight hoops is optional, and it's designed to work with the stock plastic bumper of an OBX...

But it also sounds like you might be happy getting him what is called a "Nudge Bar" like this one from Rough Country;

Yes a nudge bar would work. It is just difficult to find one that says it will fit with the standard bumper since he doesn’t have capable or modular.

I have had this one for a couple of years. It's been great. Currently $380.

The rough country I Linked works with the standard bumper...

Also The brushguard that @Justinfro linked above works with the standard bumper, and has the same removable headlight hoops as the Steelcraft, If your son wanted to use it as a tall nudge bar.

And that will fit the standard bumper?
