Finally, now have the front Bumper I have wished and wanted all along installed on my Bronco.
https://www.buckstopinc.com/classic-2-4988.html
The winch will have to wait for a little while, as I need to with fore thought 'pull the trigger' and decide on which one will ultimately be installed.
Leaning toward purchasing a Warn 12000, with steel cable. Don't care for synthetic in my local climate, too much exposure to sun, dirt, rain, mud and grime.
Ordered:
July 31, 2022.
Vendor manufactured and painted with "Mini-tex black (fine flat texture)", included vendor remounting the OEM front sensors and also the front camera all reinstalled by vendor in Prineville, Oregon USA.
Initial impression:
Awesome. No 'Regrats'.
Additional info:
As is (pre-winch): drops the front end exactly 1/2 inch on a 2022 more door squatched Badlands. I did not weigh the bumper before they installed it- but I measured carefully in the same parking spot before (and after) the OEM modular came off and the new Bumper went on. Will eventually ask advice and input on best way to level the front again to factory specs after the winch is in place.
included PIAA fog lights to look a little retro on the pavement. My other lights are fine on the trails.
Why I am loyal to BuckStop:
My '03 F250 has had one of the Buckstop bumpers on it for years- and it proved itself with a 55-60mph direct hit on a full grown buck. No warning and could not even slow down- he was at full speed....Zero damage to truck, only cracked a weld on the bumper, instant death to the buck muledeer- which sailed at least 40' across the highway and landed near the berm 'safely' outside the oncoming lane's right of way. Gratefully, no oncoming traffic at that point in time. Local shop easily repaired the broken weld and blended the paint. Likely would have totaled the truck without the BuckStop.
Apologies, My Bronco is usually not too clean>>> bumper will soon match the dirty hood deflector, at least I am Enjoyin' the ride?
