Brush Guard design changed to avoid blocking Bronco grille letters

[SkyKing]

If true, this would be an easy 5 minute bolt on. I'm going to wait and see evidence before adding this (back) in to my spec. I already removed it for this very reason! CG, 4D, Wildtrack, V6, MIC. Now if only Ford would add the roof rack onto the official accessory list. That's the one hanging issue on my build. my Day1 order number is 10119XXX. As I understand it that puts me in the first 5,000 orders so hopefully I will still be early - even with many red flag delays on my build.

Me Likey!

Assuming it’s just something like this early version?

That's barely a bruh guard! And definitely wouldn't be worth $300. Will wait till aftermarket to sort this if this is what they come up with!

I never understood brush guards, except maybe those ones you see on commercial vehicles that have expanded metal covering the entire grill. Actual brush has branches that stick out and will pierce right through your radiator/intercooler whether or not you have one little bar going across maybe 10% of the grill.

Protection from deer...

I thought it was more for immobilizing wild animals that jump out so your front doesn't cave in

Radiator/condensor/intercooler vs headlight assembly.

This....

I know which ones I am more concerned about. It takes a very substantial guard to protect the headlights which are basically are destroyed if they get any damage which is difficult to achieve, especially from an OEM.

A grille guard might still get pushed into the grille with a deer strike... if it keeps the critter out of all the tender juicy bits behind the grille so it doesn't mission kill me on the side of the road I am ok with it.

Have hit 3 deer in the last coupla years. 1st one was slow speed 40 or so, cracked the plastic behind the bumper of my Sierra. 2nd one was on the freeway at 70, dented the bumper a little. 3rd one was in my wife's Trax, on the freeway at 70 as well. $8000.00 in damages. Had less than 600 miles on it. Got me home at least, once I tied up the plastic inner fender liner with what was left of the wiring harness to the right headlight assembly. Good times...

@JakeC Do you mean a pre-runner bumper?

 

[JakeC]

@Erock I think they might be called "Stinger Bumpers"..?

edit: Google-foo skill increased.

can't take pictures, someone will get fired.

You remind me of someone else, .....very familiar.

Mine too. Just don’t tell my boss about it.

I'm not counting you then. 🫁

IF IT GOES LOWER, THAT COULD MEAN THEY CHANGED THE LICENSE PLATE MOUNTING POINT

I am sure many more will rejoice about that....

Lies lies. Pics or its not happening. Can't believe the ones out made it past production like that. Double lame. If they fix it. It probably won't be on any of the 2021 Broncos since it's to soon to production.

Hopefully it is something like this, that actually provides some function:

I absolutely love this. I have a family friend who makes roll cages, brush guards, and such for utvs. Bet he could make this. Stealing it for later.

Well hello there

That's slick, kinda adds some meanness like the "brows" I see added to every other jeep around me but actually looks useful and not purely cosmetic.

Either that or the license plate holder is the new brush guard...

Def going to be a motherload of aftermarket bullbars and light bars and fubars.
