Serious question....in what scenario would a hard shackle mounted to this front recovery hole be preferred over a soft shackled mounted in the lower spot or is the hole only there for folks that only have a hard shackle? Basically trying to decide if I should also buy some hard shackles or if...
I just went out to look at the recovery points and they do seem somewhat sharp. I suppose I'll use the soft shackles for the rear bumper recovery points and pick up the SITH or the Gear America shackles for the front. Thanks everyone....Happy New Year's Eve!
I just ordered 2 of these soft shackles:

and this kinetic rope:

Should I also get hard shackles for the front bumper or do the soft shackles...
Agreed...I hope they are 100% frame mounted and can double as a step of sort (even though they are angled a bit) and will help prevent road debris. If so, then these may be the best option for me. I'll wait to see install instructions / better photos etc.
I wish they would show mounting instructions or installed photos under the Bronco as well. They definitely say no drilling or cutting required, but the wording of chassis instead of frame makes me think these are not frame mounted.
I'm debating watermelon Sugar on Lightning Blue or waiting for Black or Lightning Blue SITH's....any idea on ETA for these other color options? Thanks for making such bad ass products!
This is a much better idea! I'm in if you do it this way, but may wait awhile if it involves shipping back and forth in case Ford decides to do something directly. Also, I don't love the risk of losing it in the mail if a replacement can't be ordered.
I didn't find it funny and I was pissed for a solid 5-10 minutes since my Bronco is totally stock and I wasn't anywhere near the sidewalk. I can laugh about it now, but it wasn't my favorite prank...hah.
This was left on my Bronco today. I was pissed at first until I realized it was fake. Be on the lookout and always read the fine print before getting mad :oops:
