its possible but going to be silly expensive if you go with the Ford parts that are on the Sasquatch. The bar alone is back ordered most places and here’s one I found in stock $2500+

I have had my nudge bar now for 4 years with no problems.
It takes a licensed mechanic 4 hours to install on a 2021 Bronco.
The push bar is not very expensive, but paying a mechanic to install it can get very pricy nowadays.
I am a licensed mechanic.👍

Yes, we installed one on my wife's 2021 BS/BB. My wife & I installed it in one afternoon. I had to get a different license plate bracket since the factory bracket was right where the cross bar on the nudge bar is. We installed the Rough Country nudge bar that we got from Amazon in 2022 for $299.00.

I bought one for my daughters sport but realized it was the wrong one, it is from rough country and only works on models with the tow hooks, was $487 delivered to the house, I tried to return it but UPS wanted 250 for shipping so it’s still sitting in my garage, it came with the round LED lights too

It is my understanding the Rough Country nudge bar uses the same placement as your tow hooks which is why it’s not compatible. I can’t recall if I found the post on this forum or on YouTube but, early on in 2022 I came across a video of a BS BL owner that made a custom bracket that allowed the tow hooks and nudge bar at the same time. I know it’s possible but not out the box for rough country. There are a couple other brands as mentioned that add a bar that sits lower than RC.

Apparently the Steelcraft Bull bar with skid plate works with a BS with tow hooks. It’s on eBay and the contact sent images. They also said the rough country tends to rust. It may however block the camera depending on placement.

I was also told about possible rust as well. However, since the majority of my off roading is beach/sand cruising I tend to spray off the Bronco pretty often to help reduce and prolong the eventual rust.
