Here is the bumper that was on the bronco when i got it. the grill guard is welded to the bumper. and looks poor.

here is another view of my helper and the front bumper.

Here is Christian and the stock old bumper.

Here are 2 of the 4 bolts that hold the stock bumper on.

after the 4 bolts were removed the bumper was tossed aside. The new bumper fits the bronco so much better.

the new bumper is 28" on the mounts. this was off a suburban.

out side to outside frame spacing is 39.5"

Here she is naked no bumper. I did a fast wire wheel cleanup

Here is the front end after i removed the stock bumper and primed and painted the frame and exposed parts.

Here i am test fitting the new to me bumper. it was off a full size chevy so there will be work to do.

Here is another test fit shot. you can see the long chevy mounts on the rear. the chevy frame was 4" wider than the fords.i just cut off the rail and decided to make my own.

The front fenders have a "Tooth" that hangs down on the front. i decided i woud remove it and set the bumper in the same place. here is the stock look (mine was dented so cutting was no issue anyway since i planed to replace, but if i replace i still cut the new one. I like this part gone.

Here is the drivers side done and retesting the fit of the bumper.looks good to me.

Here is the lower part of the front fender i cut out. there is a plastic inside liner i removed that too.

Here is the "Tooth" on the pass side. it was fine with the stock bumper but out of place for the new bumper -it would make it stick too far out.

Here is the front angle of the "tooth" i am removing.

here is the front without the bumper. looks strange.

this is the pass side with the fender cut out but not the plastic liner. This is a good place to catch crud and start rusting the beast out.

I just followed the body line around the side. i had to leve the triangle on the front there was a screw that commects the front pan to the fender. i did not want to spend too much time so i just made a smaller tooth and left it on both sides.

Here are the fender ends i cut off the pass side of the front fender.

Here is the new bumper being test fit. i want to tuck it in so it does not stick out too far.

Here is the test fit after the pass side was all trimed.

Here is the pass side after i clipped the tooth off. much nicer looking.

Here is the pass side all trimed up and ready for the bumper.

with both fenders cut and the correct height spacers this is almost where i i want the bumper to sit. looks good.

here is the pass side all clipped and waiting for the new bumper.

Here is another view with the paint.

I knew i was going to install a winch someday. i wanted to make this as strong as possible. I got these bumpers for free and the were what i wanted for the beast. i got a chunk of 4" C channel and some 8" angle stock. Here is the back of the mount as i was make the correct size.

Here is how it will connect to the rear bumper mount.

I used angle iron to mount the back bumper mount to the frame.

Here is another shot of hoe the rear of the front bumper mount goes.

here are the side getting paint added.

Here is the rear mount. i cleaned it real good and hit it with primer and paint.

Here is the driver side all bolted in place. these are 1/2" grade bolts and nuts with poly lock nuts.this beast is not going anywhere.

Here is the pass side of the bracket.

I need to drill out the back so i could bolt the rear of the bumper to it.

center bumper mount to center bumper mount hole is 38" inches.

the front horns are 2" wide.

you can see the other rear bolt mounts in this pic as well

another frame shot after i painted the valence.

with the back worked out i needed to get a front mount. these were cut off the rear bumper andgoing in the scrap pile and worked perfect. Here is the driver side. there are 3 bolts going into the bumper. and 2 going to the stock bumper holes in the frame.

Here is the pass side mount. you can see the 3 bolts now. These were in for test alignment only.

here it is with the rear holes drilled. There are 10 1/2" bolts going to the frame now where there were 2 before.

Here is the bottom all cleaned and painted ready for the install

Here it is all bolted in rear mount and front mounts. i jumped all over this bumper and it does not move at all.

Here it is bolted in place. This thing is not going anywhere.

Here is a side shot of the bumper installed. it looks good time to paint the top side of the bumper.

Here is the bumper all painted and ready to go. It got a spot for the winch and a front reciver point.

Here it is from the front all painted.

Here is the drivers side all painted. this sure does improve the front end looks.

this bumper is kid tested tuff said my son Christian

Here is a shot i like ground up. this bumper really works for this front end.

Here she is out on the street.

well the police stopped and said it was law to have a front license plate and a big fine for not having one so i needed a temp fix. i had this keyboard rest going to recycle i decided to cut it down and make a temp plate holder.

Here it is cut and drilled. ready for the install.

Here it is on the beast with the plate. time to get new plates this one is beat up bad...

Here s the new front plate mount.

another shot of the front plate mount

here is the last picture of the mount

Here is the new grill guard. it is just 2"X3" square tube. i welded amd ground smoth. it is so tall since it is going thru the bumper top and getting weleded to the frame and bumper.

Here is the spot the grill guard is going to go. you can see the squares i cut out with the plasma cutter.

here is a front view of the new grill guard.

here is a driver side view of the new guard

Here is the new grill guard all painted. It looks good and gives a good place to hold onto when working under the hood or on the front bumper.
