4WP Bronco Rear Bumper - Crazy Deal!

[daviper]

For anyone that's looking for a rear bumper upgrade, these must be discontinued, and they're being sold for around $300 both on Walmart.com and through Autoplicity.

Walmart (3rd party seller, but free returns):

I paid a little more to order through Walmart because I was skeptical of the deal and the quality and wanted the ability to return it without any hassle if it didn't work out.

This was actually one of my favorite bumper designs when I saw the Smittybilt version, and I considered buying it for almost $1,000 previously. From what I can tell the 4WP bumper and Smittybilt are the same bumper - the only thing that looks slightly different is the welds look a little cleaner on the Smittybilt pictures. But then again, the welds look the same (as Smittybilt) on the 4WP company images too. I've never seen pictures of a consumer with the Smittybilt version mounted (but there are a few people here with the 4WP verrsion).

It arrived pretty well packaged and I think it looks great! The only issue I had with the installation was the backup sensors on my 2024 Wildtrak 4 door seem different than what's in the instructions. The instructions show the sensor harness connectors connecting from the side, and mine were from the top. After mounting all of the sensors I wasn't able to plug them back in. I took out the included spacer ring for each sensor and was able to make it work with a thick piece of foam (instead of the spacer, but still with the same mounting piece) to still hold the sensor in place.

Anyways, ~$300 for a bumper like this is a crazy deal! Very happy with it. Will get more pictures when I get my car cleaned up.

Yup I have one on the way! I think these are the best most “oem” looking steel bumper.

a buddy ordered a set for his wife’s heritage, cut the bull bar off the front and had them painted white.

FYI 4WP is out of business, so there's not much of a warranty, I expect. Early on, their Bronco parts seemed well designed, too bad they're gone.

Does a Base model have a backup sensor... or just the camera?

Compared to a modular front bumper... how thick is the rear bumper steel?

Or putting it another way... is it a good steel bumper worth the money, or just look good?

just the camera

The 4WP steel seems thicker than the OEM modular bumper. I don't have specific measurements but it does seem heavier.

What plate holder do you have?

What plate holder do you have?

I used the DV8 Rear License Plate relocation kit. The bumper does come with a mount to relocate the license plate and light to the spare tire, but I prefer the look of the DV8 location.

just the camera

Thanks. I thought so.

Yea, I wouldn't be using a spare mounted one.

Did you get a chance to measure the thickness of the metal?

 

[redone17]

Yeah, that’s a great deal. I always liked the look of this one since the initial launch. At that price - you can just re-powder coat it after a couple of years - but, I heard it fades quickly.

I bought some Gyeon Matte Evo for my DV8 bumpers to extend the life a bit.

Ok I found online that these are about 80lbs and 3mm, 1/8” think steel.
I would call this a medium duty bumper. This is twice as think as my stock bumper.
Be nice if someone can measure the thickness just to verify.
