Lol, all we saw was people complaining about the old one and now people say nothing was wrong with the old one? There is no pleasing people
I think there is some disappointment among most that this now entirely cosmetic bar actually had a mild level of functionality previously in its position that it no longer has, being pushed right up on the grill. In that position it won't deflect anything. It's a nice attempt by Ford, but it wasn't thoughtful enough.

Doesn’t bother me but I was fine with it blocking the emblem.
It comes with mine tho my guess is there will be aftermarket bolt on options to replace this.

A+ for effort, C- for execution. I guess I'll wait for an after market option which may require a new bumper anyway.

Still not sold on it, but it's an improvement. And a fairly quick turnaround at that.

Im not sure if this is overlooked, but that MIC top is nice! It matches the flares quite better

Not a fan of either old or new, however I would have designed it to come just under the "Bronco" badging. Almost like it's being underlined.

It's always been entirely cosmetic. I don't think the distance from the grille has changed.

Still blocks the letters...new, but no so much improved. Better options will exist on aftermarket. Hard pass on that one.

If I was in charge of developing the brush guard at Ford, I would have created a brush guard that had the letters BRONCO embossed into it, facing outward. But that’s just me.

I liked my brush bar on the '84. Destroyed the original plastic grill in the brush so I replaced it with a metal version and installed the Smittybilt bumper. Worked well. Maybe the proportions of the bars on the new Bronco are just off. I'll fab my own or have them made.

I was fine with the original one. I know it's a Bronco, so it didn't bother me. The height of the new one is OK, but would prefer it to lean forward a little.

All of those who complained just caused me to get an ugly brush guard. I wish I had an option for the old “BO” guard
