Front Bumper Options

[bkwfu]

Work on my 66 restomod is coming along nicely. Will submit pics when its completed in next couple of months. Going with a satin/matte white finish with black accents for something different. Should be nice and clean

Need to order the bumpers and am thinking of going with protofab rock solid bumper with push bar, but something just does not seem quit to my liking with it...

Are there any other suggestions or new bumpers that vendors have coming? I have the JL Speaker led headlights and do not want the bar to cover the lights in any way.

Pictures appreciated

Early f100 rear bumper look good on a early bronco front and back the rear is not wide enough so you have to section in the center to make it about 6" wider the front is ok

Just received my Ballie Built 8274 yesterday. Going to powder coat BK59 soon.

The new UG build has a modified OR-Fab XJ bumper. I think its a good look if you're willing to modify. Not sure of part number.

I went with Protofab #324 with push bar and have no problem with my HID headlights.

If I had to do it again I would go with the #300 with push bar as it has the winch mount built in.

I must say the best bang for your buck would be Keystone fab its a great looking bumper at a great price.

How about a Protofab rock solid with shackle tabs.

Any one have more pictures of the protofab 300 vs 324? I cannot decide which way to go on this and it doesn't have to be protofab necessarily. Some days I want the push bar others, I want just a clean looking plate bumper.

The more pics the better!

 

[broncobsession]

I voted protofab too. Do a search in the bronco chat section...tons of pics.

Here is pic of my 324. As you can see it doesn't block the headlights, and the winch doesn't fit on top of the bumper, so I will run a plugin model.

Do those have the mounting into frame horn extensions?

 

[bronco t]

No they don't. Just four bolts... Two top two bottom. I am sure that Mike at Protofab can supply frame horns though.

I have had ProtoFab front and back for about 5 years
I have dented and bent my rear.
I thought they would have been stronger than they are.
I have 33 inch tires and I do not abuse my truck.
I have come down on rocks after going over them and the corners have bent.
Also I stalled on a short 30' hill and the truck ran backwards into a rock/hill. That bent and pushed the bumper in.
I would have liked a more solid bumper... It looks strong and seems beefy yet it is not rock proof IMHO for even "mild" wheeling.
My 1st choice was going to be Balie BUT they were not making them the year I was shopping.
I have not hit my front on anything as of yet and I REALLY REALLY LOVE THE LOOK AND STYLE My ProtoFab's I just wish the rear was as solid as it looks.

And since you asked for a pic here is one of the front
