I like them, they look very utilitarian. What would be some actual, practical and creative uses other than tie downs or brush busters?

I said it before, but I’m sure they’re removable, and a great hard point for mounting cannons, rockets, or other necessary accessories.

You could put fender mounted turn signals there like what were popular in the late 60's.

First thing that comes off the hood.

They did the fishing rod holder which was pretty cool. I can see someone coming up with Hi-Lift mounts.

They're not attached to the hood. Until the aftermarket comes up with something, there will be a gap between the hood and fenders if you remove them.

Man. This is a very polarizing subject. Very little in-between.

That said, I like 'em. Looking forward to utilizing them.

I'm indifferent.

The jury is out for me on these things, they are a bit odd looking. That said in addition to being rack tie downs, they are also supposedly there to assist the driver in knowing where the dimensions are of the front of the vehicle. I need to see them on the bronco up close and personal before I decide whether they stay as is, stay and get painted, or just go.

I like the idea of a high lift mount there. But are the cleats attached to the hood or the fender? I don't want to have to take the high lift off every time I check my oil/fluids etc. hmmm...

I think they’re attached to the fender. I’d be nervous of having whatever’s attached turning into a projectile in a collision. It’s too much of a liability.

I forgot that they cut into the hood leaving a huge gap. Not good. Ford should provide a screw-in filler plate of some sort.

Why does each one need 3 openings?

 

[Sammy7]

Different types of attachments? I’d imagine the circles would be for bolts and the rectangle would be for webbing.

Add one more for the like it group

They're awesome and add purpose to the form, which was present on the 1G

This is from the Bronco IG. This fishing setup is one of the "200" optional accessories that will be available in December to order. I'm sure they will offer plenty of things to mount to these fender cleats.
