OEM Rock Rail fitment on 2022 2 door Wildtrak?

[cgarwood87]

I bought some OEM take offs on FB marketplace, but I'm not understanding how they mount. The bracket upfront lines up correctly, but the rear is floating about 1.5" from the only hole in the same zip code. It came with hardware, but the bolts are too small for the holes on the underside as well, which has me thinking maybe I have the wrong "version" of the part.

Was there any redesign between 2021 and 2022 on mounting points that I failed to account for? Or anything about it being a Wiltrak that would impact fitment? I can upload pics later if it would help.

Actually saw that thread earlier before I posted, but now thst you pointed it out I do see that there are some brackets required that I don't have. I'll see if I can find some, thanks.

Original owners often don't realize that they left part of the rail on their bronco. You may have a hard time finding the brackets, since they aren't sold separately.

Found a possible aftermarket replacement for the brackets I'm missing:

Will circle back and update if they work out.

You’re missing the brackets in your pictures. The brackets have two tabs that slide into holes then you can install the bolts.

I’d honestly message the people you got them from. The brackets don’t really work for much else and with pictures they hopefully won’t have a problem taking them off and sending them to you. Or they are sitting somewhere and they just plum forgot what they went to.

Waiting to hear back, but don't anticipate good news. Bought these from an offroad shop. They took these off a customer vehicle a few weeks ago. No telling whether they would reach out to the customer or not.

Ah probably not then nobody wants to call a customer and be uh he we forgot to take some stuff off your car. But they may be sitting in the shop and hopefully not thrown to the scrap pile yet.

Did you ever figure out if these would work? i just replaced my OEM with zroadz rails that used the OEM brackets. I'm trying to sell the OEM rails but i would like to be able to point the buyer to the brackets they need, so they're not in the same position you're in.

The after market rails i got work with that set, for folks that didn't have the OEM rails. So i'm going to assume they would have worked with the OEM rails, given everything bolted in the exact same holes/points.
