What is the "safari bar" on the First Edition

[chtucker]

Is it that bumper hoop? Looks like it is a bolt on that can be removed easily to mount a winch...

The safari bar has something to do with the roof.

its the brush gaurd on the front, certainly removable, as Im sure its an optional part for everyone else. I think you can mount a winch to it though.

you can see it in my profile picture, that is a first edition photo.

I think this is the correct pic though, since in your avatar the First edition graphics are missing on the side. Ford's website is really inconsistent right now!

Are you thinking it is removable because of the presence of the bolt heads in the pic?

I don't like how the brushguard blocks the Bronco lettering in the front; kind of looks like 'BRO' right now lol

Agreed. I prefer this light bar that doesn't block the lettering.

Agreed, which is why I am hoping it can be removed entirely, or at least removed and replaced with the lower bar.

If it comes with the First edition, it kinda sucks we have to pay for something we will just take off and spend more money on an alternative right away.

The safari bar is to protect your vehicle when driving over brush on over grown trails, I'm not sure why you'd want to remove it just because it blocks the lettering. To each their own I guess.

Not the point, they could've designed it better/taller to not block it.

Yeah, you can probably remove it when your not pushing water buffaloes out of the way.

That is also a pretty high angle to judge from Wonder if the safari bar comes with the winch tray in final setup?

Fair point, but the two guards do look different based on the angles of the vertical part of the hoop.

This light bar would be incompatible with a winch though, right? Or is there a design I'm not thinking of?

I'd guess most winch mechanisms would block the logo to varying extents too.

Yeah, winch would replace it...
