[2020+] Ford Transit - Front Bumper Install Backwoods Adventure Mods

[@kr2513]

Never worked on one of these. I appreciate you showing the last few steps. I had all the hardware out. It was those weird locking tabs that were holding me up. God bless and thanks.

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

Glad everything went smooth!

[@mchipman7879]

At 6:51 you mention the electronic louvers. I noticed these are never reinstalled. Have you noticed any issues as a result of this? I had this exact bumper installed on my transit buildout and now have an error code for the active shutters/louver system so I was wondering if you all have experience this or if there is any resolution.

[@VanHaulen]

Thanks for this video. It made installing our backwoods bumper a breeze!

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

Thank you so much for that feedback! Glad to help.

[@soloridertv]

You laugh, but "Jumbo" is actually the model designation for the High Roof, Long Wheelbase, Extended vans at the Kansas City Assembly Plant where the vans are built.

[@davereid-daly2205]

Really cool. Simple and straight forward.

[@christosmaninos1570]

Nice video, the van looks awesome.

[@fantomrides]

Will you be making this for earlier models?

[@tompettus3296]

Why didn’t you keep it in metric?

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

We use standard hardware for all of our products.

[@stahpit1971]

Thanks for the video. Has anyone seen my 10mm socket?

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

Lol

[@javiersaldana5511]

So are you suppose to just leave the electric vents off?

Is this the Abyss color? Thanks!

[@chriscullinan8400]

I didn't see you replace the splash guards. Does the new bumper cover those areas?

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

Yes

[@tobystriegel1378]

Nice bumper, but the hardware should be Metric like everything else in the Automotive Industry has been for decades now. Also, pretty sure those are air directors (important) & not splash shields. How does this bumper affect/change airflow through the A/C Condenser, Turbo Intercooler & Radiator? Again, nice product, but these are questions to be answered before dropping over $3K on it...

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

Appreciate the comment. All of our products have standard hardware. As far as airflow, we've tested this bumper extensively and we've put cutouts in front of the winch for that reason. They add airflow as well as give your hands clearance to access the winch controls and to see your winch line spool up. Thanks for your interest and have a great day!

[@barnabydh]

Yeah, it's weird to throw in SAE bolts in a otherwise metric vehicle--is the Transit all metric? I know the Econolines had mixed, unfortunately.

[@tobystriegel1378]

@@barnabydh The Transit was/is actually designed in England, as it has been in production in Europe since the 1960s. So Yes, they're Totally Metric. I'm pretty sure the E-Series has been All Metric since Ford dropped the old 300 Straight-6/302/351 V8s & started putting the V8/V10 Triton Modular Engines in them.

Hey…. Do you ever offer package deals? That is.. if we bought front, rear, and roof rack… these are sooooo much more expensive than f-150/250 bumpers.

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

Hey! We unfortunately do not offer package deals. These vans are much more complex and require more a intricate build process than truck bumpers. Plus, most truck bumpers are made of steel, which is a cheaper material cost. Aluminum is more expensive for the material, plus you save lots of weight. Comparing these bumpers to f-150/250 bumpers is much different. Hope that helps!

[@bret9741]

@@BackwoodsAdventureMods thanks.

[@spilledpickles]

will this fit a 2019?

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

Unfortunately it will not. The 2019 models are slightly different. 2020+

[@FEARNoMore]

You forgetting to take off a few things & forgetting some of your correct tools gives me pause...however I appreciate & respect you leaving those mistakes in the video. Shows you're one of the more trustworthy mechanics out there. Thanks for the video but next time, lift with your legs not your back. lol ;)

Looks good
