Front Grill Protector Ideas

Depends a bit on what bumper you have… If you have a modular bumper, Ford has a couple of “bull bars” that would give a small modicum of protection…. If I were in your shoes I would likely consider a new bumper with a heavy duty brush bar/ headlight rings that would really protect the front end…. Most all of these can be had without blocking your letters, although a front-facing camera might have to be re-located…
I’ll try to locate a picture of what I’m thinking

Update… something like this… just google bronco brush guard

Thank you so much! I appreciate your help! I am unsure of what kind of bumper I have- what is a modular bumper? I just have the factory bumper that came with the Badlands Sasquatch 4 door.

You have the modular bumper if you have a 23 Badlands with Sasquatch package… three OEM bumpers for comparison

Hmmm, two identical threads. What one should I post on, well how about both. So, here we go, protection for the Ford grille's are definitely needed. I hit a bird while driving and it badly cracked my grille. A deer would definitely blow it apart, and the rest of your front end.
The only protection I have seen that would help with a deer is the ARB Summit bumper...

I should add that this bumper is a much stronger version of the Redrock bumper, hence it's higher cost.

I’m only going to reply to one of these… I am in the same basket as you and currently shopping. For a BL with Mod bumper, In addition to what’s above,

IAG and Turn Off-road offer economical options:

Bought this one before I got my Bronco for the same reason the OP wants one. Bolted up no fuss no muss. Lucky, have not needed it...
