LoD Off-Road is a new player in the development of aftermarket parts and accessories for the new age 2021-2022 Ford Bronco. It is an exciting time for new and returning fans of this off-road masterpiece with all of the great upgrades coming out. LoD has developed a new line of front winch bumpers and supplemental accessories that are sure to transform the look and function of this vehicle. You will be stepping into the future of what the new off-road vehicles are capable of while showcasing a tried and true model vehicle that is sure to spark nostalgia for those who grew up with the original. With any of LoD's new Black Ops Front Winch Bumpers, you will get the benefits of a high clearance bumper built for any terrain with the opportunity to add Lighting Upgrades, Towing Upgrades, Skid Plates, or Recovery Gear. Check out what Stage 3 Motorsports has available in the LoD Black Ops line of front winch bumpers and accessories.

2021-2022 Bronco LoD Front Winch Bumpers

For the bumper to end all bumpers, LoD has two versions of their new Black Ops Front Winch Bumper that will change your 2021-2022 Ford Bronco forever. They are the LoD Black Ops Full Width Winch Front Bumper and the LoD Black Ops Shorty Winch Front Bumper. Both are compatible with most 12K winches currently on the market according to LoD. The difference between these two are how far they extend outward towards the fender flares. The "full" version extends out over the fender flares while the "shorty" version does not extend out over them. Having the extension over your fender flares offers more protection, but may appear too bulky for some. Depending on what you value from an aftermarket front bumper, LoD has you covered. With both front winch bumper options, you have the opportunity to upgrade to a larger wheel and tire combination. There is no interference with any of the existing features of your 2021-2022 Ford Bronco with these bumpers. For retention of the adaptive cruise control technology, a bracket is included to relocate the module bringing it back to factory functioning. The construction and design of these front winch bumpers is really second to none. Each bumper is steel constructed and finished with a super durable 2 stage corrosion resistant powder coat. The high and tight design gives these front bumpers the extra clearance needed to avoid obstacles while also increasing the airflow to the intercooler. Not only will your engine and the rest of your front end be protected, but it will be able to function at a higher level off-road for the most superior performance of any aftermarket front bumper.

2021-2022 Bronco LoD Front Bumper Towing Options

What is an aftermarket front winch bumper without some towing ability. LoD has a few different towing accessories designed to allow for better towing capability and versatility. The LoD Roadmaster Tow Bar Adaptor Kit and LoD Blue OX Tow Bar Adaptor Kit are towing adapters that connect to most standard Roadmaster or Blue OX tow bar setups. The Roadmaster version works with Falcon All-Terrain, Falcon 2, and Falcon 5250 tow bars. If you happen to have the Blackhawk 2, Nighthawk, or Sterling tow bars, then you will need adapter spacer coilovers from Roadmaster. Using the towing capability is a huge bonus of aftermarket front bumpers that you do not want to miss out on. When you are towing, you are going to want some extra strength for peace of mind. To ensure that no towing situation will be too daunting for your 2021-2022 Ford Bronco, you should supplement your towing adapter with the LoD Black Ops Front Bumper Frame Tie-In Brackets. This towing upgrade will add more mounting strength to be used in conjunction with the flat towing capability. These tie-ins give you a place to mount your safety cables and further solidify your towing mount.

2021-2022 Bronco LoD Front Bumper Skid Plates

Despite the superior protection of the LoD Black Ops Front Winch Bumpers, there are some exposed areas below that could be susceptible to damage when trekking through rough off-road terrains. For protecting the area directly under the front winch bumper you should supplement your LoD Black Ops Front Winch Bumper with the LoD Black Ops Front Bumper Skid Plate. This skid plate protects the area underneath your bumper from various trail obstacles you may encounter off-road including rocks, stumps, and sticks. Even with this extra protection, there are still a few vital areas of your underbody that are exposed for possible damage. The differential and a-arms are common areas of damage from off-road driving. For complete underbody coverage, LoD offers the LoD Black Ops Front Differential Skid Plate and LoD Black Ops Front A-Arm Skid Plates to combine with the front bumper skid plate.

2021-2022 Bronco LoD Front Bumper Lighting Options

The most unique feature of the LoD Black Ops Front Winch Bumpers is the lighting capability. You have the option to add upgraded lighting, retain the factory front bumper lighting, or opt out all together. If you have no interest in using the lighting feature, you can simply cover the allotted spaces with the LoD Black Ops Blank Front Light Bezels. This seamlessly covers these spaces with the same material and finish used to craft the front bumper. You will not even realize there was ever lighting feature with this unique accessory. There are few different brands of lighting products that are applicable for this feature, but if you just want to use the same factory lighting that you are used to then you can get the LoD Black Ops Bronco Stock Fog Front Light Bezels. This is a great option, but why miss out on the opportunity to utilize a more premium lighting upgrade. RIGID, Baja Designs, and even LoD themselves have their own lighting upgrades that are compatible with the LoD Black Ops Front Winch Bumpers. If that was not enough, you could even add surface mount lighting. If you end up adding the LoD Black Ops Front Bumper Bull Bar or LoD Black Ops Front Bumper Full Grille Guard, then these are perfect places to add more surface mounted lighting. Some great surface mount lighting brand options to add include KC, RIGID, Baja Designs, and Rough Country all available in our digital catalog at Stage 3 Motorsports.

Supplemental Off-Road Accessories

As off-road enthusiasts know, you are never finished with upgrading your build. Now that you have your LoD Black Ops Front Winch Bumper and your choice of accessories, you are probably looking forward to your next investment. You are definitely going to want a new winch to use with your front bumper. LoD Black Ops Front Winch Bumpers are compatible with most 12K Winches and we have plenty to choose from on our site. Beyond that, you will also want to consider what Stage 3 Motorsports has to offer in other Recovery Gear and premium off-road lighting from top manufacturers like RIGID and Baja Designs.
