I just acquired both a capable and a rear steel bumper. Both need the sensor bezels, fronts have been ordered from Ford and will be here today or tomorrow. I also ordered the KR Off road dual aux light kit for the Capable bumper. That is this weekends project. Once the front is done, I will...
I was a day one reservation holder. After about a year I decided I wanted a Shelby. So I gave up my reservation in February of '21 and got a hell of a deal on my Shelby. Fast forward to 2023 I needed to buy a vehicle. This little Hot Pepper Red beauty fell into my lap. I paid MSRP plus...
Just bought them for a bumper I didn't keep. Paid $149.
Asking $120,, $100, $75$50 plus shipping can also meet locally. Was on the vehicle for less than 48 hours.
The manufacturer link is here...
I just sent a return request for my bumper. Rusting after 10 days on the vehicle. I may take it to a powder coater and get a price to resolve this, but it's rusting after 10 days, so be warned.
Another update and a question.
I bought black oxide bolts to close the nutserts up, and used plastic washers. The heads of the bolts rusted in less than a day. It's Florida, it rains here. What kind of bolts would you need that are black and won't rust?

I...
OK, bumper arrived, VERY well packed, in perfect condition. I took the plastic bumper and skid plate, removed the sensors and harness. A little disassembly and the harness is in. I lengthened the fog lights wires, and cut a hole in the inner steel support to bring the sensor /fog light...
UPDATE!
All done. BY FAR the HARDEST part was FINDING the White/Org wire under the dash. I went with Switch #6, last switch, back of the Bronco. That was Yel/Org under the hood. Two wires go from there to under the globe box. They are White and Brown white. Easy peasy. Finding the...
OK, i have a few things to button up but here is the install.
There are four bolts (per side) holding the plastic rear bumper on. All are 15mm, you will need an open end wrench also 15mm. Remove the three with heads facing the rear tire tread, and then look up for an additional bolt per side...
Ok, light is in, I opted to set it infant of the open end of the passenger side frame rail to ensure clearance. When it stops raining (its Florida, give it a few) I will install the harness and get the bumper back on.
