Sea Bright is my go to spot.

Small world! As the crow flies, I'm less than 10 miles from there. I spend most of my beach time in Avalon.

Pretty close to you! Rumson/Fair Haven area although I hate to admit that. Took my wife 30+ years to get me to move to where she was raised, even though it's a damn great place to live!

Long live Pete & Eldas!

Definitely! Also frequently in Red Bank, you won't miss me if you look in the coffee shops. Now we got the Benny's, makes weekends so much fun xD

Btw, just a FYI, All American Ford in Old Bridge is having a car show on Sunday, free to spectate, $25 to enter (Last year, Bronco's and Bronco sports won a trophy regardless of mods, otherwise the classics and the show quality Mustang GT's won)

Whether or not my Bronco is ready by then, I'll be there if ya wanna say hi

I'm always in Red Bank. All American is on my list at the moment. Bought my Bronco there and haven't been able to find/fix the leak in my roof (2 times now). Enjoy the show...my family is dragging me to The Bronx for the Yankee game.

Welcome! I installed this company's front license plate bracket for the mod bumper and it's a really nice solution.

The one for the standard bumper:

Slide one of these over the plate before mounting and it gives a nice, finished look:

It's an attractive solution for those of us that have to run them.

Thanks, just ordered this! Now where do I put the all important NY Mets plate frame?

If it matters, i bought my at Tom's Ford in Keyport. A little out of the way, but their service and attentiveness was way above my expectations. Made the whole process super easy. Maybe the best car purchasing experience I've ever had. And they have a pretty good dealer logo....

Random, but I'm happy to hear their service department is still solid. Years (many years...) ago I worked in the area and had my 1995 Thunderbird serviced there and they were top notch. Cleanest service department I'd ever seen, quick turn-around, and no issues with the work they did. The experience made me want to buy a car from them when the time came but things just never lined up.

Always good to hear about a business maintaining a high standard of quality even decades later.

Welcome fellow New Jerseyan, that’s the exact one I installed on mine too

Tom’s Ford denied me warranty work because I did not buy the truck there. I’m hearing good things about George Wall in Shrewsbury. I may give them a try.

Hi,

I'd love to see a closeup of the mounting bracket for the plate holder. I installed it on mine and it kept setting off the sensors all the time. Couldn't adjust it anywhere where the sensors weren't impacted. Finally took it to dealer and they said that on '24's the sensors were moved compared to the earlier years. Yet, I see you have a'24. Would love to see how did it. Can you send a close up picture?

Thanks.

my Big bend is basically the base model for 2024 & she doesn’t have any sensors in the bumper, sorry I couldn’t be of any help

 

[PescadorPirate]

I have a solution you might like for the front plate

 

[DriveAllNight]

Hmmm,

I didn't buy at Tom's but I've been to the parts department and the guys there have been really helpful. I plan on sometimes (or more) getting it serviced there because it's close.

But I am amazed they or any dealer would turn down work, it's not like they don't get paid for warrantee work. My wife had been bringing her Lincoln there without any issues which she bought at George Wall.
