I agree. What is up with ARB design? I thought for sure they would knock it out of the park with their classic design but I am still waiting for them to get it right. I really don't want to have to build another bumper just to get it to work and look right.

The new Warn bumper looks way better than this.

I disagree. I want to see it from more angles and different perspectives, but this looks like the classic ARB design I was hoping for from them.

Much better and more in line than the other one they revealed a while back.

Their other work for reference:

Yeah, I guess I need to see more detail here on this bumper. My criticism should have been more focused to their previous offerings. I like thier traditional bull bar bumper and want it to work for my needs on the Bronco. There is just so much more going on at the front end of one of these trucks, needs room for a proper winch, air flow for intercooler, clear view for the radar, decent approach angle, and idealy not block the front camera. And after all that can you make it look correct and balanced too please.
For now I will withdraw my judgment until further detials are released.

Wow! That's a lot of brush guard on the bumper. I'm not doing African safaris and don't need all that. Just a solid steel bumber with the fog lights, winch and parking sensors and maintain the 360 degree camera.

I saw it this weekend at the Overland Expo in Loveland CO. The bumper didn’t really do anything for me.

I did notice that the windows we’re not dropping down fast enough, or consistently when repeated, to avoid dragging badly on the top seals. Yes, the ARB Bronco is a pre-production.

I didn’t take any pics.

I really like it! Would be great for the ranch, but crap for everything else. I'm hoping I can figure a way to relocate the ACC radar plate to work with the Ward Elite bumper.

In TFL Video
I'd want to see it from the side and without those silly giant lights. And will it work with LUX and all the sensors? Otherwise not interested.
Nor would I get this if it changes approach angles or is so heavy that I have to add even more stuff to level things out again. I'd also prefer to toss that honey comb grill thing that doesn't match the Bronco at all. Not impressed so far.

Brush guard makes it look like Tony Soprano’s uncle. Not a fan.

exactly - really want to see this without their lights. I would never use those, and they are such a severe aesthetic, I think they totally change the overall look.
