Looks nice! How do you like that Rigid light bar mount?

Love it, it is the Rigid / Ford Performance 40 light bar I used the shorter hard top mounts that came with the kit instead of the taller ones for the soft top. It just looked more appealing to me shorter/closer to the roof line. I used the ford wind deflector to offset the wind noise on the soft top.

40" (42" actual) across the top. I don't like the look of the 50"+ brackets that flare out sideways.

I got this (40") one from M&R (@MandRautomotive). It puts out a TON of light fits nicely between the Bumper and grill and was a pretty easy install. They have solutions for Standard and Capable Bumpers.

Looks Great! Do you like the bent metal look? Or do you wish the bracket looked more like a part of the bronco?

Would you ever put that bar on the roof mount points above the windshield?

You like the bent metal look? Or would you like it if the bracket fit more the bronco styling?

I personally feel the mount and bar fit the styling of the bronco well. However I know looks are subjective and what suits some may not suit another. Here’s a front shot of the bar, the curved mounts don’t look so curved from the front view.

This was designed by Rigid and Ford Performance as an accessory designed for the Bronco off of ford accessories site. I do like the looks of other light bar setups as well but I have zero complaints on the performance or overall looks and quality of this setup.

Personally, no. I prefer it low like this. It could be mounted up there with different brackets. It was the unique brackets that led me to get the M&R light bar.

Would you ever consider changing the bracket at a later date or is it not that big a deal?

Is it a look preference or a functionality preference?

Kind of both...

I like how it doesn't reflect off the hood. The light is low and out front, so there's no shadows. I'd heard that roof-mounted light bars make a lot of wind noise - none of that here. It tucks nicely in the gap above the bumper, so it is cleaner. Adding height to the truck also may prevent me from getting into my garage.
