I have an Eruption Green Badlands with the Sasquatch package. What color shackles would look best. Can’t find any to match the Eruption green. I think Red would make it look like a Christmas Tree lol. If you got any pictures would be greatly appreciated!

If you're using it right, the truck will be covered in mud anyway so it shouldn't matter

I have white to match the B-R-O-N-C-O on the grill. My Bad Beauty is Black but I think they would look great on the EG.

As much as I like the contrasting colors available, the front end of our Broncos are all business and should be adorned in proper “business” attire. Matte black is all you need. 😉

If you MUST have color, consider Archetype Racing's bespoke S.I.T.H. (Sent It Too Hard) Bronco shackles. They're expensive but they're sturdy pieces and made specifically for the Bronco. They come in several colors (including matte black). I do think they have a green one, if you're determined to do the whole “matchy-matchy" thing.

I, too, have an Eruption Green Badlands. I went with the AR SITH shackles (paint to match) and they look great! They have recently added more color options. It might be too much but I'm considering having my grille letters painted to match as well.

I would recommend, US made, Best in Class Factor 55 brand recovery gear. Their stuff is expensive but most capable on market.

This may be a bit of an unpopular opinion, but I dont like to have shackles on the front end of the truck. I dont want a bunch of gook and grime in there to make them hard to unscrew, because it will undoubtably be too cold when I need to use them and my hands wont want to do a bunch of detail work. I keep them in the glove box (with the soft shackles and a pair of good work gloves). I also picked a bright gloss red so that when I drop them in the mud or grass, I have a chance to find them again.

That said, If I where to run them full time, I would probably go with either gloss black or just a steel finish. I think that would look the best with the black from the bumper. Red or orange or anything bright like that might be a little much against the green.

Tinsel strength is more important than color.

If they are just decoration, you could go with the bronze color. The bronze wheels on the EG broncos looks amazing.
But I am with @Mal i will keep my shackles in a bag with my other recovery gear. I will probably get the factor 55 sawtooth kit.
