Gauging interest in Maverick brush bar

[Hot Runr Guy]

If this is the case, then why has Ford included a front mounted nudge bar on the Bronco Sport? This is mounted to brackets that mount the same as the tow hooks do on the Maverick

$3500 for the BS brush bar and tow hooks,,,,,,,

I sent you a p.m. reguarding your bar and mounting. I know you are going with the Tremor and FX4 first. The underside has 2 bolts on each side of the sub unibody that could be removed to attach a bracket to. Just wanted to be more clear about that. I want one more for looks and light mounting capabilities. For those who don't want to remove or cut the bumper cover. Hybrid and FWD owners.

Hi i appreciate the input on that.
I responded back.Check your p m's

I'm definitely curious on what you come up with. During my time off for the holidays, I was thinking of pulling out the ole' Harbor Freight mig welder and see what I can whittle up myself. I was thinking of tying in a tab to the front skid plate, come up forward along the lower bumper cover, and tabs off the front tow hook mounts coming out inboard of the hooks. Then a simple hoop, being careful not to block the front radar sensor or parking sensors. Photo is an extremely rough idea. I also will share pictures I came across of a Ranger and Maverick for ideas too.

My objective with this is to make it So there is zero modifications that needs to be done to the vehicle just unbolt a couple of preexisting bolts and bolting some bracketry and the bar itself.. Think side steps, no work needs to be done other than possibly some clip nuts and bolt it on

More to come I'll have a prototype soon

I'm definitely interested, however I have a FWD Ecoboost model so mounting options will be weird without tow hooks. I love the look of em not to mention the added protection is great.

As mentioned before the main concern would be the spotlights interfering with CoPilot 360.

Grand Cherokees have always been unibody is anyone scared of a bull bar on a 1st gen Grand Cherokee the ones that regularly drive Moab Utah?

In any case I think a bull bar ahould protect from 90% of crash damage - stripmall parking lots at under 30mph.

I would like a bullbar with basic outline around the headlights enough to stop a $3000 headlight module replacement from scraping a low fence post or something.

Bullbar protecting headlights (& something for taillights) is my #1 priority those proprietary LED modules communicating over canbus cost about as much now as the friggin radiator

I agree with you while it can be a damaged multiplier.In some essence, you must also take into consideration that brush guards have been put on unibody vehicles for quite some time For instance, the police interceptor or dodge chargers those take a massive amount of abuse with little to no damage to the unibody.Now granted, this is two completely different applications and they are intended for two completely different purposes.
If I had the choice of having something like this for the extra amount of added protection for the front of the vehicle in the event of animal collisions or minor bumps i would much rather run the minuscule possibility of slight unibody damage and save $10's of thousands worth of front end damage.
And I mean, let's be real if you hit something hard enough with this to bend the unibody that'll be the least of your issues.

I would welcome a way to protect those headlights and even to keep Joe Coalsmoke from backing up his lifted F250 Powerstroke while parallel parking, and pushing my hood through the inscrutable "entertainment center" screen.

OTOH, getting rid of that dangerous screen seems like a good idea. But not if you have to bust the windshield to do it!

The design like the KC lights picture would interest me greatly.

Hello all Fellow MTC members, i am trying to gauge interest in a prerunner-ish style brush guard for mavericks as there is limited on the market and the ones that are available are trash in my opinion.

These would be all ccustom designed and fabricated by myself. I have eighteen years experience in the fabrication and welding field, as well as fourteen years In the automotive industry in Detroit.

At first, it would be a very limited run, as it will be quite the task to get it up And operational but I figured I would ask to see if there would be any other interest before I would invest the time in it.. The first one will be a designed prototype for my own vehicle With customers coming after kinks are worked out.

The first ones will be for the tremor variant with possibility of them fitting others. But that will come in the future, as I will need a non tremor Maverick for test fitting purposes.

The picture included with this post will not be an exact duplicate of what it is as this is another member's design, And I do not want to encroach on that but it will be the general idea of what it will look like.

I am thinking I'm going to offer the choice between four separate lights or a light bar mount for it Depending on what you choose and powder coated.

If I get enough interest and people are truly serious in wanting One I will move forward with the next step and document the entire process here for all to follow along with.

Once again, picture included with this post is not mine or my design but similar to style.

Ngl if you actually build a solid brush bar for Mavericks that doesn’t look goofy or kill approach angle, people will buy it lol. Most current options either look too tiny or like someone welded playground equipment onto the front bumper.
