Are there Crash bar plugs for SAS model Broncos?

[LGM]

Those look good. You can also just delete them completely, looks good and gives you more room in your wheel well. Though you do have to do some cutting. Jks makes a kit. https://jksmfg.com/products/ford-bronco-max-tire-clearance-kit
This is the way I plan on going, once the weather gets nicer.

This are crash bars that fit with factory SAS wheel set up.

I can't believe no one has designed an insert for those in place of where the crash bars would go. I guess I'll need to do that - removed my crash bars today for some 35" upgrades and now it's wide open again. I'll try to post here when done but if you don't see it in a while, check on MakerWorld. I'll call them something like "Bronco Crash Bar Delete Inserts"

As already noted, I use the https://elev8offroad.com/products/elev8-bronco-crash-bar-delete-end-caps
I painted them yellow, I like em, and they wont trap water in the bar

yeah, not something I want to spend money on. Just want to cap them.

I'm just going to cut them off...

Works great - re-did it with only one hole to keep bolts in place - only need one for retention - it's snug so you might not even need the bolts. PLA should even work fine for this application without the sun but I might use TPU if it starts to deform.

Now to work on the front - the geometry's a little trickier to make it look nice.

After your make you gonna sell?

No. Posted model and anyone can print.

Just finished the first front one - since they're asymmetric hole patterns I may have to do two version for the front. I'll go out and look again. I'll post models when complete - for the 3d printing modelers here, I tried something new this time I've never done - I made the plug solid but used two bodies - one for the hollow plug and then a separate internal body so I could use two different infill patterns in the slicer and cut the hole through both so that I have a supported through-bore for the bolts instead of a hollow space. Just for fun, really - I'll see how it prints - used 15% rectilinear for the outer shell body and sparse lightning for the inner core just to support the "roof" and through-bore.

I'm not sure why - never used multiple bodies as parts in slicer before - but I had to increase shells from 2 to 3 to get any inner walls at all - with 2 shells, they were only applied to outer walls, so it should be pretty rigid.

the ones I'm posting should be retained by the bolt - I want to put bolts back in so I don't lose them. I'd just put them in the crash bars in the attic but the nut is welded to frame. too Lazy I guess to get another bolt. With the welded nut, they shouldn't rattle.

I don't have a printer which is why I asked

even having a printed plastic bolts would be nice as I'm sure I lost mine
