Cheap modular bumper

[Jb7]

either mine came with way too many bolts, or I have no idea what I'm doing.

any chance you have a picture of where you used a nut clip vs an actual nut? I'm also confused why I have so many washers, do some of these get a washer on both sides?

the place with yellow stickers is where used the clips, the three along the top the bolts come in from top of bumper. Where you see the electrical wire ends sticking out at top is where I used the longer bolts coming into top of bumper, I only used one washer per bolt

Its here!

I'll start off by saying; I wouldn't be shocked if these are actual ford bumpers.... metal is thick, hardware is a factory match, even the plastic face covers feel like ford plastic.

Now on to the important stuff.....

It arrived last night, I opened it this morning, the box looked like it was in good shape, upon opening; the bumper definitely had a tough journey from China.... And there was no assembly manual.... I reached out to the seller to see what to do next, as I'm hoping for a discount. Here are some pictures of the panels up close as well as some of the damage. Also, I love the text on the box, I was laughing pretty hard when I read that.

Also, this amazon bumper is the exact eBay bumper, box has the same part number.

With the OEM bumper you can remove the horns on the end though and keep the full length of the bumper bar, can't you? When I looked at these pics it seems like the ends come off in one whole piece leaving you a stubby bumper.

Hard to beat the price though

Glad to help, it was a puzzle putting together for sure and no resources for where clips go etc, a little trial and error got me there so glad to pass it on

this bumper works that way too, the side bumper is bolted separately, and then the cover separate to that.

That is true. But once I starting looking into it, I found most people don’t remove the ends do to the after market fog lights and disconnecting and connecting the wiring easily, can’t beat the cost for sure, it is heavy duty, especially for me coming off the plastic front bumper

I have the plastic too and I'm on the lookout for a modular take off but they're unicorns out here. I dig the look of that full length top bar though. I'll probably end up jumping on a clone though since y'all have basically shown they're legit.

Thanks for clearing that up, definitely changes things for me

Bumper is on!

You cant beat the look for $300. I made a video showing where the clip bolts go, and frankly I may have been missing some. I found a photo on thee bday auction for this bumper that helped identify what goes where on the inside.

All said, I might as well be the ford bumper.... makes the truck look great. Total install was about 4 hours, and that was after I burned up 3 blades cutting the factory recovery points.

Plastic covers aren on yet as I'm still deciding if I need to move over my fog harness.

could you shed light on where the longer hex bolts go?

The longer bolts are for where you would mount a bull bar.

Got it. So all the “spare” bolts are for add ons and attachments?

Sounds like a crap shoot on what bolts and nuts you get, I only had 14 total clips and short on short bolts and missing two nuts….not suprised though considering the origin

Not one review.

i found a video on YouTube about it
if the link doesn't work, the video title is "Ford Bronco Modular Bumper Alternative vs OEM"

I'm also a proponent of not lugging around a lot of extra weight, to avoid the performance penalty.

But I push things such as other vehicles with my flat Jeep bumper (a reason I don't want the shackle "fangs" sticking out that seem all the rage these days). The bumper sometimes gets slammed into things off-road. Also I use the bumper as an outdoor work bench, clamping wood and metal to the bumper for cutting/grinding/hammering.

I haven't found many good Bronco bumpers for the above usages, so probably I'll weld up my own bumper design next summer.

The Warn front bumper looks like a table…lol
