I had to take mine off too or else it didn’t fit.
Note to others:
I would note the rack will not fit right unless you countersink and would consider that step mandatory, not optional.
Honestly, we passed on the ESP the second time around with Ford. They refused to honor things like having a rental available for service and after reading the fine print almost nothing is covered besides engine.
I hope y’all do a good job powder coating, lots of accessories have been thin and having issues. Although, rain shouldnt be a huge issues.
Do you have pictures of how something like a standard cross bar kayak attachment fits?
Another price for crossbars that make me feel price gouged on the Bronco. Seems you get more for your money than the other option right now at least.
How exactly would kayaks mount to this with the crossbar adapters?
