I third the 4WP bumper! If price is not an issue then sure there are plenty of options out there. But for around 300 bucks, and it's a great design, you literally can't ask for much more. My only gripe is the strange angle on the side that makes a weird gap. Still planning on how to fix that on mine.

Yeah, I have the turn setup. They bend extremely easy. I wouldn't recommend it with 37s.
You have the Bronco model and it bent, what did they say about that when you contacted them?
I have their tire carrier that replaces the hinges for the tailgate and it’s very robust.

After having mine for several months I like it more than at install. As for that gap I made some short mud flaps to stop most of the mud flinging up through the gap.

No for whatever reason mine looks like this no matter what I do. That part doesn't bother me too much, at least it adds clearance.

That’s tilted pretty good. Mine isn’t like that. I had to fiddle with the bumper a LOT to level it out. However, one of the smaller side bolts broke off going in. I’m guessing some of the holes aren’t lined up properly due to poor QC

Yeah I tried it a few different ways. Thinking about slotting a hole.

I left out a bolt on each side that wanted to cause the tilt. I was able to get a good alignment. I’ll take a picture of the bolt I left out later and add it here in case you wanted to see.

Picture added. Without this bolt I loosed everything and adjusted to anlignment and tightened them all again.

They have said they are replacing it with an upgraded model. Big it has been weeks. I also bought their tailgate support, and I'm pretty sure I'm just going to go back to that and figure out a different bumper set-up.

That’s crazy, the site says it supports a 40”. I hope they send you a new bumper.
Glad I ended up with the 4WP bumper and the just the TOR tailgate support instead.

Yeah, they have been very cool about the issue. They have since updated the design and just are waiting on the new inventory. But yeah, it says 40s. But the angle of the carrier on my tail says different. But it does look cool as f.

Received and installed the Hooke rear bumper today. Very satisfied with the overall fit and high clearance design! The sensor holes in the middle were too far apart for the wiring to reach both, so I was able to cut the wire covering and pull out extra for the passenger side. No biggie.
Also, I plan on adding additional support to the bottom area on the frame mounts. This will also give it a more finished look where the lower frame rails are visible.

Lastly, it did have minor damage in the shipping, the paint was missing on both ends. NOT a big deal, but I did email them to let them know.
Install was SUPER easy and the bolt holes all line up perfectly. The sensor retainers are excellent as well.

I added the license plate to the center.

Also, gonna upgrade the 4t shackles that came with it to the $$$ 12T version I have in the front.

Here's pics.

This is where I bought both my front, rear, and winch plate for the front: https://autoplicity.com/15156182-4-wheel-parts-61468w

I got the 4WP engine skid from Amazon for $20 shipped to my door

All in, my bumpers, winch mount, and upgraded engine skid set me back less than $1k

Also, the matching 4WP front bumper works with TrickyDick’s no-longer manufactured frame horn reinforcements. PITA to get it all to go together, but it is doable
Got a link for that skid plate? Also, how are you liking the 4 Wheel Parts 61468W bumper? I just ordered one and just need to figure out the license plate mount.

It’s still available, just a lil more expensive than when I ordered - https://a.co/d/0c8HVT0q

I’m LOVING these bumpers. They do seem to chip a bit easy (I think the powder coat is cheap), but other than that, they’re awesome!! The winch mount makes the front install rather tedious, but so worth it IMO

Not too heavy, but both front and rear are strong and have not bent when dropping onto rocks or bumping into rocks or trees

I hit a deer at 45mph and the bumper could have cared less. There’s absolutely no damage on the bumper, didn’t even tweak the position of it. Cracked my grilled and valence panel, but that’s it

If I were building another Bronco, I would buy the exact same bumpers again (the deal is just too good to pass on), but with my 8112’s, I’d find a different skid plate set (because the front reservoirs are rather exposed)

I did IAG flare deletes and that really changed the look of the entire vehicle, with those bumpers

I’ve not installed a license plate on the front, so I’m of no help there. I’d think right below the winch mount would be the spot I’d choose

(pre-8112’s @ Badlands)

Thanks for the link, just ordered the skid plate!! I meant the rear bumper btw, I'm keeping the oem plastic front bumper which I am protecting with the Steelcraft HD brush guard. :)

Oh, my bad, sorry, I had just rolled out of bed when I typed that up

A while back, I lost my factory rear license plate bracket in a deep water crossing (right around 3’). It ripped out all the plastic attachments, the bolts, and removed the plug from the wiring

I do a lot of water crossings (Arkansas is awesome!!), and because of that, I wasn’t wanting a bumper mounted license plate. I ended up combining a Diode Dynamics spare tire light bracket with some of their lights (as my third brake light), and a license plate bracket I got from 4x4TruckLEDs (I want to say it’s a Baja Designs license plate bracket. I don’t recall and it has no branding)

It’s a bit annoying to take on and off when rotating the tires, but I never have to worry about losing it

The 4WP engine skid plate it SIGNIFICANTLY beefier than the factory engine skid. Probably twice as heavy
