Question Bumpers?

I’m having a hell of a time trying to pick a bumper for the trx4 bronco. I think I’m mostly going to run it with the bronco body so I want something that won’t look entirely goofy on there. Will the factory mounts work with scx10ii purposed bumpers?

What are you all running or have used and had positive experiences? Not planning on running a winch, looking for better approach angles and less hang up.

Eyeballing this... SSD RC SCX10 II Rock Shield Wide Front Bumper SSD00147



Or this werty made...

I run the one from SSD but with the Cherokee hardbody. It works great and you get a much better approach angle and it fits perfect.

It is a bit narrower than the bronco body, but let me know if you want some photos of it.

Great info, thank you. If you could post some pics I’d appreciate it.

If you like the SSD one which i know i do but it is too narrow, Scaler Fab is can make it any size you want. "Custom Bumper Width (in mm)"

Nice! Just placed an order for 220mm total length. Hopefully their shipping time is quicker than estimated but seems like it will be worth the wait.

How do you feel about your approach with it? Any pics?

I hate giving ETA's as we will probably be late for some reason. Around 3-4 weeks...

Thanks Sabre8! That’s actually not as bad as I thought it’d be. It looks like it’s still protecting the lexan fenders too.
