I have the '24 OBX. I dont do offroading much. But I want to replace my standard (plastic) bumper that has fox lights, with a metal more aggressive bumper. With a low height bull bar that wont cover the bronco letter in the grill. Why? the standard is very shallow. A small bump of something in front of me will certainly harm anything on the grill or headlights. Isn't a bumper supposed to help protect the front end ? I like the ford modular. But I'm not opposed to aftermarket. My only concern there is some of the aftermarket front metal bumpers are not wide enough and seem 'stubby'. I'm open to suggestions. Be nice, Be kind.

Probably too big and heavy, I love my ABR.

I know you said low height front not to block letters but I can still see mine. And this is the factory mod bumber and the westin bar bolts right to it. And they send 2 extra brackets that mount to the front crash bar mounts and to the corners of the bumper to reinforce it. Was super impressed by that.

Hi. I went with RC and I don't recommend it. It is a china cheap made that don't fit. It's not straight.

I put the ARB Summit bumper on my 21 Badlands Sasquatch,. Loved it! Didn't have any problems with cameras or sensors.

I have a 24 OBX and bought the front and rear bumpers from Vanguard Off Road. They came with LED lights too. They were easy to wire to the aux switches. I am pleased with them and they weren't that expensive

There are so many different options - it would be better if you go post some you like and can get feedback on those specifically (or get others that look similar)

Ford Modular is easy to get now, there are still takeoffs on occasion, and a chinese knock off version that looks/feels identical and works out well if you are willing to put in a bit of work on it for saving a few hundred.
