...Been making a list (reading through all of the posts in this thread); and will check it multiple times; I'm sure.
...so far I have determined that the rear bumper protectors are not, apparently, made for the tow hook bumpers... If all else fails I will purchase some mat and cut my own...
Will post the list and my progress after I finish threading this thread...

Enjoy!

Do you mean they dont have them for the Sasquatch bumpers yet? There isnt a lot of clearance for those protectors, Ive read where people have got them and they rubbed on the back hatch.

I got a viair 88p inflator for my Birthday and its a solid piece of kit also a noco genius1 charger which looks well made. I have ordered a quick connector with a bleed button to attach to the viair inflator I hope it fits the threads. I also bought a plastic tub with a clear lid to keep all my recovery gear in which I will probably never use, my wife just shakes her head when she looks in the back of my sport lol. Its almost full.

I don't know exactly what the bumpers with the folding tow hooks are called (& I'm not able to get a picture right now) but they came on my2025 big bend back diamond BS.
The top of the rear bumper is not flat, there is a small step down from the upper surface to the bracket that is part of the folding tow hook (I'd guess between 1/16 and 1/8 of an inch. but its enough that the sticky tape on the bottom of the protector could have issues adhering.

My plan is to get a raw wide early model bumper protector and cut it to fit.

(will post a pic later).

Enjoy!

Edit the rear bumper that I have, as promised.

Hitch receiver plug

Hitch receiver tow point

and an extendable breaker bar (for lug nuts.)

I also took a chance and ordered a 1/2" drive ratcheting adapter for the breaker bar, not certain if it will stand up to lug nut torque (I typically set them around 80 or 90 ft-lbs)...

Well since getting my Bronquito in December, I've done quite a few things, but the biggest would be the tire upgrade to 235 toyo's and a bit of extra lighting. I also did most of the tuffskinz interior but I don't have any pics...yet

Given the state of crime and vehicle thefts;
I wrapped my unwieldy (stupidly big), PITA, Ford key fob in aluminum foil; Now the bronco does not detect me within 3 feet and automatically unlock the doors (unless I unwrap the fob)...

Hopefully this will help prevent someone from recording and duplicating my electronic key code to steal the bronco sport.
I will be seeking a better, more professional, solution to help maintain vehicle security.

Note; I keep my credit cards in an rf resistant environment to help prevent remote credit card threats...

I also ordered some door threshold protectors to keep the door sills from becoming scuffed by gravel, sand mud, dirt,in the lugs of my hiking boot/shoes.

OOPS! sorry! i think this pic is for the big bronco; if you order be sure to get the Bronco sport version for your Sport; they are different.


Enjoy!

The paranoia is real, people. :crazy:

When you remove you keyfob from the aluminum foil, you can repurpose that foil into a hat.
