Early Bronco

I have a 2025 Badlands Sasquatch with the factory brush guard mounted to the front recovery points. I’m getting my recovery gear sorted for an upcoming road trip and noticed something worth sharing.

The brush guard mounting bolts extend farther than really necessary. As delivered, the exposed threads can interfere with soft shackles and potentially abrade or cut into them under load. It’s really not ideal.
