Oem steel bumper

[BronkyCHOO]

Hello, I was thinking of picking up this OEM steel bumper that came off of a bronco. Do I need any more hardware with it? Or do I have everything needed already with what I have on my bronco? I noticed it has some open slot areas for fog lights and such, but I have a 2025 base bronco that didn’t come with fog lights. Are there covers or something like that to cover up the holes or what should I do? I’m picking this bumper up for like 300 bucks.

Looks like it's only missing 2 plastic covers, that cover the hooks. The mod bumper doesn't come from the factory with foglight, nothing is missing there.
Missing some hardware,(may not be in the photos). Can't tell what's above the rear bumper in the second photo.

So i dont need any additional parts or hardware other than the plastic covers? Can i order the plastic covers from the dealership or an oem wholesaler/warehouse? Do you know what the part number is called?

I don’t see the bolts for the recovery points (3 per, they don’t use all 4 holes iirc) but you may be able to reuse existing bolts from current bumper there. Thats about all I can see from there though, since the bumper is mostly assembled it looks like it will have all the small hardware / Bronco bolts / etc

If you have the plastic bumper you will either need to cut off your existing tow hooks or get new intercooler mounts - as the plastic hooks are integrated with with intercooler mount and you can’t just remove them like you can with the steel bumper. So be prepared for that too.

30 seconds with a sawzall removes the Base hooks, or $120 from you wallet, I chose option #1.

You'll also have to modify your plastic skid plate or buy a metal bash plate. Another simple task, I used a tin snip to cut the plastic to fit.

If you don't want to cut the tow hooks off of your intercooler brackets, I have a set of Stinky Fab Racing brackets I'll get rid of for $50 plus shipping.

Whats option 2 exactly? Which part do i need? Im leasing

Personally I wouldn’t go too far with mods on a leased vehicle. Read the fine print …unless you truly intend to buy out the lease.

Depends on the bumper but most will probably need it (or cut them off) as those tow hooks from the plastic bumper stick straight out

Would i need that bracket for this one? Or is this one plug and play? Sorry for so many questions, i am brand new to broncos and got mine exactly one month ago.
