Along the front of the hoods, on both sides, are odd plastic Things sticking up.
Do they have a use?

I have limb risers attached to my "gun sights".

They can be very useful as an anchor point when carrying a canoe or kayak. I personally like the way they look.

Thanks for your response, and no I am not trolling.
I have wondered since the Bronco became interesting to me months ago, and I began looking at them.
The sales woman I spoke with at a Ford dealer, had no idea what they were for.

Fishing rod holders are also available and mounted to the trail sites.

Those are known as clothes lines here. Looks like you'd need to park on an incline to dry your britches.

This.

They're tie down points. I think they're called Trail Sights for the benefit of people who didn't order the roof rack or ordered a soft top. Those people wouldn't be carrying canoes, kayaks, etc on top of their Broncos. The marketing department had to come up with a name. The lawyers probably made them do it.

Broncos don't need "trail sights" because, unlike Jeeps, you can see the corners of your fenders. These won't work any better for tire placement beause of parallax.

 

[RedDawg]

A place to secure your canoe too!

Since they go by many names, maybe it's helpful to know what Ford calls them. This is in the Owners Manual. Resisting reviewing this is pretty common.

Funny, I looked for that. But I didn't know the magic formula "load carrying," I searched for "tie downs." Silly me.
