Looking For a Real Brush Guard

[Kilgore]

Hello 6G.

Have been lurking for a while but never posted. Have learned so much from this forum, I want to say a big Thank You.

My 2 door Badlands is replacing a very very worn out Wrangler on our farm as a utility rig. If the gods are smiling it is scheduled for production in the 9/19 build. I'm trying to get ahead of the curve by getting some necessary accessories here before the rig arrives.

On the top of the list is the winch which is already here. The Bronco was ordered with the heavy duty bumper to accept it. In our case its not an accessory but a necessity and gets very regular use on the farm. The Warn winch has been going strong for 15+ years with no problems. No hesitation to buy another,

Second on the list is a real brush guard, not the little hoop thing Ford provides. We need a full front guard to protect the grill and lights from getting thrashed by brush and debris. Don't have one on the Wrangler and it has little paint remaining on its nose. Don't want the Bronco to suffer the same fate.

Here is a link to what we installed on two F150 trucks and they works great.

Have had no luck finding anything that provides full front protection so far. So I throw out the question to the Bronco6G community.

Thanks in advance.

I’m considering this because I hit a deer already. I know too late but I need to minimize damage if it ever happens again.

JCR has theirs https://www.jcroffroad.com/product/BR6SB-B.html

LOD has theirs (on that same site): https://realtruck.com/p/lod-offroad-black-ops-grille-guard/lod-afg2105/

And there’s always Maxlider: https://shop.maxliderbros.com/products/2021-2022-ford-bronco-custom-front-modular-bumper

Sounds like you just haven’t googled hard enough or something

Definitely not the same look... And like him, I've also been looking for something like that.

Simple bolt on that can keep existing factory bumper and looks like the police interceptor push bars...

Very surprised this isn't available yet either. Everybody wants to make Jeep-like stuff...

ARB makes the most heavy duty one that is welded to their bumper Summit.

JCR has a Bull Bar and Pre-Runner Bar that bolt onto four points on the modular bumper, but I haven’t seen anything more sturdy looking than that unless you get a new bumper as well.

I’d be afraid that is more a brush guard and less a deer guard….(have hit 3 deer in my life)

I would agree, but at least it would lessen the blow.

I’ve hit 3 also. Luckily have always steered or veered away so as to not have a direct impact

So this is why I'm so impressed with the 6G community. In the time it takes to bbq and consume a steak after posting, I have a bunch of viable solutions!

Thanks for this and any additional leads that may arrive.

I would HIGHLEY suggest replacing all those bolts with better grade ones if you go any bars produced from that country. Just remember it's 4 bolts holding it on with some cheap steel so if you hit that deer fast enough that bar may or may not break off and decapitate you

South Texas Outfitters has a full replacement bumper that is worth looking into. Starts at $1,879 plus options. They will be sensor/ACC compatible.
