Anyone know what bush guard this is?

[Milleirish]

Hello,
Today I was looking on Etsy for emblem and I seen this bush guard on a Bronco that has the same bumper as mine. I can not ask the poster of the photo because Etsy only lets you talk with sellers. I also did an image search on google with no results.
I have the Badlands bumper with the tow hitches mounted where the brush guard mounts.
Thank you in advance for your replies.

So does this brush guard mount in the tow hitch area?

I think you mean recovery points, the tow hitch is on the rear of the vehicle? Sure appears to bolt in there.

That Aries model replaces your OEM tow shackles with a brush guard of unknown strength, leaving you with zero front recovery points, and at $560ish, is costing about a half to a third of a legit heavy duty front bumper replacement.

Personally, I'd save that amount of money for a true bumper replacement.

Nah that's for the modular bumper, which I don't have.

The Aries Guard bolts to the bumper mounting brackets for the plastic bumper.
You do have to grind some of the plastic spacer to make it fit.
It is a very sturdy guard.
Much sturdier than any guard that bolts to the top of your bumper. Including the OEM junk.
You have the capable bumper and I don't think it will fit your ride.
I believe the Westin one linked in this thread is for the Modular Steel bumper and won't work on the capable bumper either.
I'm sure with a little fabrication you can make either work.

I modified the Rough Country guard and the Aries guard to make a very sturdy front guard assembly.
I did have to do some fabrication and welding.

OP you have the Capable Bumper, so far all the ones people have posted have been either the plastic bumper, or Modular bumper. Non of which will work with yours unfortunately.

Edit: There were a few options on this page. But at least one of them is no longer available, and I don't like how they wrap under the bumper and kill approach angle.

That yellow fog light wire routing has triggered my OCD this morning . Now I have got to go straighten up the electrical cabinet to get my mind off of it

I wasn't done yet when I took that picture.
All wires are soldered and covered with heat shrink. And I use some 2" Loom to cover the whole front where the fog light mounting brackets are.
Nice catch.

Sorry, forgot Ford changed the Black Diamond and Badlands to capable bumper...
