I’m waiting to see someone put the Warn/Ford winch onto the capable bumper as I believe it uses the same mounting points.

Nice work, looks great! Love the idea. Mind sharing the ones you installed? Also is that bar the rugged ridge one on amazon that others have installed?

Thank you! Yes- I added that same brush bar, the light is from extreme terrain, ford performance hooks, and gear America shackles. The idea was a combination of stuff found from the good folks on this forum.

I hadn’t thought of doing that swap, might have to get myself some of those tow hooks; and the brush bar looks pretty good with the bumper! Any chance you have a link to that brush bar? I’m not seeing it on my phone

Did the bar directly mount on the bumper like the mod bumper does? Or did you do some fab

I love that bar but I wonder if the light brackets can be cut off and add a little touch up paint. I'll never mount lights there because I like seeing the grill letters. I like your light bar though I'll have to check it out

Can you share the link to the light bar?

Looks good but more details would be nice. Are the hooks from the Heavy-Duty Modular bumper? Do you use 3 bolts like the Capable or can you use all 4? Part numbers? On the brush guard, any issue with the mounting plates being flat vs the top of the bumper being curved? Does it conform when tightened?

I had to mount it myself, the capable bumper does not have any mounting points. However, I think it would take me less than a hour to do this whole process over again.

Thanks! Yes- Same three bolts. Will need to trim the top steel tab on the bumper that the plastic cover around the tow hooks. Also, a tad bit of the plastic cover needs trimmed as well. That part will be self explanatory if you try it.

This particular bar is very low profile. Even if I mounted the light on the top I think there would have still been 5-6” of clearance between the top of the light and the bronco lettering.

I like it where you put it. Please send the link when you get a chance. I saw a million on their site.

That is soooo sexy!!! Can you take a couple pictures with the light on and off at night? (With headlights on) That price is too good to be true.
