How hard was the modular bumper? Did you get all of the parts from a dealer or used?Took delivery of my Bronco on 7/18. In a little over a month, it now has around 2600 miles on the odometer. So far I'm really enjoying it. Just installed a leveling kit (not pictured), and put a modular (factory) bumper on it. Next up, running boards, window tint, skid plates, and fog lights.
Love the easter egg text in there. Thanks for the pics. If I find a good deal on one I'll probably pull the trigger. Otherwise, I'll be looking in the aftermarket. The idea of taking a sawzall to a new Bronco doesn't sit very well with me but it is what it is.I purchased the bumper complete (minus sensors and retainer clips) from a seller on eBay. The biggest hurdle for me was to find the part numbers for the retainer clips for the sensors (they're not the same from bumper to bumper). Luckily the take off bumper I purchased had a VIN and I was able to find them. Other than that, the install was pretty straight forward. The loops for the tow hooks needed to be cut off (I cut them off and painted the ends). I was able to reuse the same harness from bumper to bumper. I'm hoping to use the factory fog light plugs on my aftermarket fogs when I buy them.
You could source new brackets, but availability may be an issue. They're not part of the frame of the vehicle, so you're not exactly cutting into the bronco since they're a bolt on bracket. The bracket holds the intercooler in place, so until I source OEM brackets, this works. most skid plates, including the OEM Ford skid plate would require them to be cut or replaced as well.
Gotcha, thanks. I don't have my Bronco yet so I wasn't aware of them not being on frame. Makes more sense now that I think about it.
Spoke to my salesman and he said it is scheduled to arrive today by 5pm and takes 12-24hrs to prep. So hopefully this is it!!
@Dadsquatch how did it go?
Well, it didn’t show up. Now they are saying Saturday?! This whole thing is a shit-show.
Great! It’s in my possession and I love it. Truly an amazing vehicle. Here are some pics! It has the 2.7L and this thing is quick and peppy! I’m coming from a 2016 4Runner though, which was a dog for acceleration and speed. I hope the best for you and @Hordak to get yours soon and look forward to seeing you guys around.
I shouldn’t be surprise but alas here I am. Disappointed yet again.Sorry man but I'm not surprised. My guy said EOM "hopefully".
