Bronco Sport push bar and auxiliary LED lighting installed

[21BRNCO-SPORT]

So I added a push bar on the front and added two sets of led lights one long and two short . Had to modify push bar to fit and still be able to use my adaptive cruise control and lane assist etc . Turned out good I think but was some work for sure . Sorry car is dirty on pics but it was down some two tracks for deer season . I’ll try to add some more pics with lights on in the next few days

Robert the push bar looks great. What did you have to modify to make it fit?. I want to put one on my wife's BS/BB.

The brackets I received from rough country were useless to mount the LED light bar without hitting the grill and it also blocked the lane sensor /adaptive cruise sensor area (center square area of grill ) so decided to drill holes under the lower bar and mount the light bar there . I had to add threads to the holes and loctite threadlocker . Then I realized i didn’t like the way the push bar looked with the holed tabs Where light bar was suppose to go so I bought 2 short bars (shopped around to get taller brackets to push me away from the grill for better clearance ) it was a pain including running the wiring and installing the switches in my dash . Overall I really like the way it looks and I get a lot of compliments . Biggest tip have help and a large amount of patience. Good luck !

Do these push bars mount up solid enough to be used as a tow point or are they strictly for pushing.

Bought it for protection from rear collisions .

I don’t think this could be used for pushing or pulling really . The 4 bolts(2 per side) in slotted holes are strong enough to keep it from moving around much, but it’s more for looks than for utility. That’s of course my opinion from personal observation. Hope they answers your question .

Are the mounting of the LED Lights, you think Are the only problem with blocking of the sensors , would the round light work better?

Rough country is not a tow point, also says that on their page. Ford bronco lifts has one that you can option for recovery points. I haven't seen anything else yet with front recovery.

Yes the lights are the only thing blocking the sensors whe I bought 2 - 12” LED light bars from rough country that combo didn’t block the sensors like the single bar did . It did require me to buy longer brackets but turned out awesome when done .
