I know that there's a china knockoff of ONE of the stock bumpers.. usually available shipped for less than what most people ask for their take-offs. Don't remember if it's the incapable bumper or the mod though.
I would love to buy a Bronco but it would amount to financial infidelity. My wife is married to our little Fiat 5oo. She says it's cute. We get a Ford family discount, too. The Ranger is our bad weather vehicle. We use it for long trips too.

The problem is that here in Minnesota, the roads are like washboards. They don't stay smooth for long. That Fiat just can't take the beating.

Send me your phone number, buddy. I'll call you up and let you try to reason with her.

Our Bronco is my wife's, as I said from the beginning I am already in a committed relationship with a four wheel drive.

Maybe I should have your wife reason with mine.

My credo
Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
No Rust-Oleum!? Heresy! Heresy I say! Lol.

A 2 door bronco is almost exactly the same as a little fiat.. especially if you're squinting real hard..

Id park the fiat under the biggest oldest tree in the yard and hope for the best 🤞🏻 those limbs ain't gonna hang on forever..

I drove past one the other day. The wheel base is very close to the Fiat, which means you can turn around on a dime and get a nickel back. It's got to park easy too: perfect for city driving. Throw in 4WD and truck suspension, and you are ready for ice, snow, and the pot holed roads they bring.

Bigger trucks with longer wheel bases handle better on the highway. They are perfect for big loads and big families, but they have their limits. My wife and I just don't need a big back seat. We seldom take on a third or fourth passenger. We prefer to park anywhere instead, even on crowded streets, and smaller is very easy on gas.

I say all of this because there are very few small Broncos out there. It would be a shame if Ford discontinues that little 2 door.
