The metal OEM front skid plate (Ford calls it bash plate) is interchangeable between the capable bumper and the modular bumper. When I swapped my plastic bumper for a capable bumper I had bought a skid plate from someone with a modular bumper that had put a hidden winch on.
I bought mine roughly 3 hours from where I live. It was a special order but a retail sale. Had 40 miles when I test drove it. Took it to my local dealer for repair. I would start a Customer Service case right away. If the repair process is extended then at least the case is close to matching...
Almost exact same thing happened to me. Just under 200 miles on Bronco (driving home from buying it at dealership) and it died driving down the highway. Was able to get it restarted eventually and limped it home. Trying to drive it anywhere and it would just die. Sometimes a mile down the...
Mine died on the way home from buying at dealership and had to wait roughly 30 days for a new PCM. Endless calls to Ford Customer Service finally got them to pull one from assembly line and next day air it to dealer that had it.
Had the water leak issue and took it in and they couldn't...
I had similar driver side leak that would get headlight switch wet and turn the headlights on when vehicle was off. Would be a puddle below the pedals. There is a TSB for diagnosing front and rear seals for leaks. Mine was rear seal but water was running down along airbag and a pillar and...
I have not used the winch yet for either self recovery or recovering others. I have a Warn EVO 10k mounted to it.
A friend in a local Bronco club has a Braptor with the JCR winch plate and I spoke with him on trail ride and he said he had used his a lot more than he wanted pulling others and...
I have the LOD frame horn reinforcements with the capable bumper and JCR winch plate. The "two holes on the LOD" isn't something to overthink in my opinion. The LOD brackets also come with holes for flat towing attachment but I cut those off because they would require notching skid plate for...
See above in my first post.
Also lots of other posts on here for capable bumper swap worth reading since I think there are some other small things related to the parking sensors you might need to address.
You can cut your factory plastic skid plate to allow the tow loops to stick through but I don't know why one would do that. If you cut the tow loops off or get new intercooler brackets you can still use the plastic skid until you can find a metal one. The OEM and most if not all aftermarket...
I believe the mounting bolts and the nut plates from the standard bumper and capable bumper are interchangeable. I added frame horn reinforcements when I did mine and used their hardware to mount bumper.
The factory shackle covers come with and without sensor locations.
The other decision you...
Dealership couldnt replicate the leak the first time I took it in. 2nd time around they found the TSB and followed the directions, confirmed the leak and replaced the seal.
Mine was leaking to where the backside of headlight switch would get wet and lights would come on all by themselves. Water...
There is a TSB for this. Explains to dealership how to test the rear and front seals. My 2022 had to have the rear seal replaced recently. They have to remove the top to replace the seal too cause it wraps under the top.
Warn website says wired controller only and that winch is compatible with the hub wireless controller which allows you to run winch from your phone.
If you see one showing it includes wired and wireless I would check the recall notice to see if it's included under that.
Pretty sure 2024 SAS upgrade gets HOSS 3.0 steering rack. I know it comes on Badlands as I have a friend that just got one. It's been mentioned on this site and other articles detailing 2024 Bronco packages. Other than that, all the same unless you get Wildtrak for Fox Shocks.
When I bought mine last year it only came with a wired controller and inside the box was a $100 rebate card for not including the wireless controller. I was considering getting their hub controller that allows you to use your phone as a controller but haven't done that yet.
If I recall when I did mine, I think the very front of the plastic skid plate fastened to the underside of the plastic bumper but wouldn't be able to on the capable bumper. I already had gotten an OEM metal front skid plate and installed it when I did the swap. Aside from the very front lip of...
The slider bracket should go between the frame and the skid plate bracket. On my 2 door (factory gas tank skid) I only had to loosen a couple skid plate bolts in addition to the one that got removed and slid slider bracket in.
