Does anyone else wish the BS had the trail sights that are on the Bronco?

Don't the raised parts of the hood sort of perform that function?

Agree.

I wonder how they got the name of "trail sights" when they are really tie down points for roof mounted cargo and also can be used for limb riser cables.

In the Bronco reviews they say that they are useful for trail navigation but are also tie-down points (150 lb).

I legit thought you were talking about the tire lines on the front view camera....that would have been nice but get why it was left off

I'd love to have tie down points at the front of the vehicle for canoes and kayaks and the like. I don't like that I'd have to tension straps against the edge of my hood to use the tow hooks.

The clamshell hood is working against you here. Maybe that’s the reason they left them off the Sport?

Yup, a real bummer. But part of the reason I bought a hood deflector was to minimize damage to the hood should I need to tie to the tow hooks.

I have been looking for someone to 3D print them for the Sport. I put the lift kit and 33" tires but would like the touch of the trail sight. Trying to make my little boy look like a big boy

I could easily design some sights that could mimic the Big Broncos, but they would only function as trail sights, and not tie downs. They'd be attached to the hood using foam adhesive, same that you'd use for badges.
