I believe that you need the Mod Bumper for the steel bash plates...they use the mounting points on the bumper for the first row of mounting bolts if I'm not mistaken. I don't have my Bronco yet, but in the build and price, you can't get the steel bash plate without the Mod bumper. Hope this helps...I'm sure other will chime in if I'm wrong.
