Notice how they left a pretty large space for air to enter the radiator...

Since this is a team effort between Ford and ARB... I wonder... Do the front crash bars stay in place with this bumper?

One issue I see is that in states that require a front license plate, it appears it would block either the winch or the radar unit.

They make license plate...plates that clip on over the winch. I would be okay with doing that for driving on road.

Edit: because I hit submit before I finished my thought.

Is this a continuation of that dumpster thread where somebody was asking to use an angle grinder vs a sawzall when it came to crash bars and the OSHA crew showed up?
Are you off your med's again.. :lipssealed:

Problem with this bumper is that it was first reported on in the fall of '19.

And still isn't available to my knowledge.

That's correct. And after speaking to an ARB rep in DFW, TX - it's not coming any time soon (if at all). That's why I went with the Summit and I've been happy ever since. A mount that came with the bumper allows me to fold up my license plate, though I wish it had more articulation.
