I'm sure y'all figured it out if you put one on, but does anyone have any issues with their bull bar when it comes to the front sensors?
Anything I should stay away from? Not looking to winch, or have lights, just reduce any future impacts and add a hint of ruggedness.

Are you speaking the factory FORD one or aftermarket ones. I have the ford one on my modular bumper and have no issues. The camera doenst pick it up at all and its above the parking sensors.

Any, but good to know. I figured it’d been worked out with the Ford bar, but one never can be too sure and I’m exploring other designs and would love feedback!

I have the DV8 bull bar. It's low profile (what I was looking for), built really well, and the finish matches the mod bumper perfectly. Very easy install but did not add/use the light mounts. It does have their emblem in the metal of the mount, but I like how it looks.

Probably what you care about more - it shows up in my front camera but low on the video feed and doesn't obstruct anything unless aligned perfectly (like a parking concrete block). I don't find it annoying. If the light mounts or lights were on it, I would think it would block more of the view.

IAG has a bar too and everything I've gotten from them has been great.

I'll take a look. Currently need to replace the bumper (collision) and the beeping from the damage is annoying. So long as it doesn't make a sound but is more about slight visibility obstruction, there's still the 360º camera to help. Thank you!

I have ordered for my 2 Door Base this one. As you can see I have the non modular bumper as well. Therefore does not help you but it is a bull bar.🤣

I like the way that looks. Guessing that is a stock picture and not your Bronco? Would love to see how it looks on yours! I have a steel non modular bumper, and am trying to decide if I need a winch and bull bar

You are correct. It is a stock pic. I ordered two days ago. Should arrive next week. Will post pics once installed.

I looked, and looked, and looked for a bull bar b/c I didn't like how high the Ford one was. Also, I have the modular bumper and wasn't looking to replace the entire front bumper (yet) with my build. IAG was great. So were a few others. But the style, finish, seamless install, and overall look I was going for was the DV8 - without question. It doesn't block the sensors. However, as stated above, it does "show up" in the front camera view - but just barely. I haven't put any lights on it yet either to determine if there is obstruction there. What I don't like is how DV8 continues to drape their logo on everything. Not so bad on the bull bar (because it blends in with the bumper). But I have 100% bought other products that DV8 sells because of the logo. Sounds cliché but I want people to notice the Bronco, not the parts. Just my 2 cents.

Looks really good! I'll have to look into that one. I really like the accent color on your Bronco. It really adds to that black beauty!

I'm very happy with the Ford Safari Bar. Especially since the gen 2 configuration bar doesn't block out the "BRONCO" grille letters. 😉

Also, I've had no issues whatsoever with sensors or forward camera visibility.

Chris here. I drive a 2-door Velocity Blue 2023 Ford Bronco Badlands with Sasquatch, Lux, a 2.7L V6, and an automatic transmission. It’s fun.
