Tailgate Bronco Emblem Placement?

[TooMuchWombat]

I had some paint damage on my tailgate thanks to a careless neighbor and ended up having it resprayed instead of touched up. While my paint looks good, the body shop did a crap job of taking care of my Bronco, including damaging my Bronco Emblem. I made them replace it, which they did, but the placement is definitely wrong--that was my third visit to have them fix things they messed up, so they no longer get to touch my vehicle, and I'll replace it myself out of my pocket.

Since I don't have the OEM placement as a reference on my tailgate anymore, I'm hoping the community here can help me out with some measurements so I can install a fresh emblem in the correct, from the factory, location. Or if there is some sort of template out there (haven't found one) that I can print off, even better.

Thanks, y'all.

I don’t know if this helps, I’m not near the Bronco right now for measurements, but this is the install video I created when I replaced mine. Maybe you can get an idea of placement from it. Good luck!

Yeah, I actually watched that hoping it would help, but without actual measurements, I'm still just eyeballing it. I'd love to get it as close to factory as possible.

Hope these are helpful. I replaced the chrome emblem with a black one a while back. I ran tape under the hooves to make sure I got the right angle. The measured angle may be a little off, 45 degrees exactly makes more sense to me. My driveway may have a slope to it.

Maybe you can double check one at the dealer? Just make sure you use plastic or paper rulers.

I can make some other measurements if you need but they'll have to wait until next week. I'm packing to attend Off Roadeo in Las Vegas on Friday. Yeah!

What kind of spare tire mount do you have?

What kind of spare tire mount do you have?

It's the OEM spare tire mount. What you can see is the flagpole mount that I have on the back there. Here's my install video for that too:
