Nudge bar options for my specific situation?

[Amcole1984]

I have a big bend with a standard bumper. I saw a nudge bar that fits it and it connects to the area near the tow hooks. My issue is that I have replaced my tow hooks with this.

I'm wondering if there is another option for a nudge bar install?

I just installed the Rough Country nudge bar for the standard bumper on my Base/Sqautch. I did a post on it. Through the post we figured out that the Rough Country nudge bar might not work with higher trims because of the sensors in the bumper. My bumper doesn't have them, so it isn't a problem. I took a pic of a Bad Lands and marked where the sensors are on the standard bumper in red. Then added a pic of the nudge bar on my Bronco. It looks like the nudge bar may block the 2 center sensors. Just a heads up.

I was told over the phone by Rough Country that the nudge bar does work with the Rough Country tow hooks.

If I recall, Rough Country's YouTube channel uses a Big Bend to fit their nudge bar, tow shackles and winch plate. Assuming that means they all will work together on a Big Bend or Base.

Awesome! Your post is what got me curious. Good to know it will still work. I love the look of this one. I hate all the ones that cover the BRONCO lettering.

Agreed! Post pics if you get this nudge bar and mount it. I would love to see it with the Rough Country tow hooks.

The Rough Country hidden winch is cool. But they do say that it does not fit if you have the 2.7 motor. Just throwing that out there, just in case.

Thanks for the heads up! Starting to see a lot of posts on various platforms of people discovering that aftermarket accessories don't fit their particular Bronco. A lot of rush to get products on the market and can only develop for the Bronco they get. Beware and read the fine print everyone!

Definitely.
