What are these for 1 is rubbing on the running board and they don’t look finished

That’s a crash bar. To help keep the wheel from encroaching on the passenger compartment if in a wreck. They are removable and supposedly the Sasquatch broncos meet all crash tests and they do not have the crash bars.

Thanks just picked my 2022 Big Bend up on Friday don’t why one is rubbing on the running board.

The running board is out of adjustment.

Actually, based on your pics - it looks like the running board is symmetrical from side to side and the crash bar appears to protrude on the offending side.

Well I can’t tell from those pictures. It is either one or the other. and if it’s not you have bigger problems

get a hack saw/saws-all and whack one inch off , file edges, spray rust preventer, finish off with gloss black paint.
granted you shouldn't need to do this on a 50k vehicle , but what else can one do besides taking it back to dealer .

re-looked at pics , I would just let it rub itself off the plastic and not worry about it , its the bottom corner no big deal ( to me anyway ) if it was on my ride.

Looking at my Bronco yesterday (don’t have crash bars because of Sasquatch package) and I noticed there are 2 bolts that hold the crash bar to the frame. Is it possible that they only used 1 bolt and screwed it in the nearest hole to the bumper but farthest attachment point on the crash bar causing it to stick out?

There two bolt’s on the crash bar, taking it in on Friday to have it checked out

Found that the running board was out of adjustment!!

Anyone know what this is? Under drivers side mirror not on passenger side

Is that part of the 360 camera system on the high package?

That’s funny I don’t have the 360 cameras just the 360 co-pilot

The mirrors are probably the same part on all the broncos, just have accesssory covers on things where you dont have the options.

Its a camera, and I believe the 360 co-pilot uses it to see the lane markers and warn you if you start crossing lanes without the directional on...

I always felt that the crash bars (or the crash bar mounts) should have plastic caps on the ends to finish them off and prevent road debris from entering, which may promote rust. Motor Trend magazine found this surprising as well during their SUV yearly evaluation. It detracted from their overall impression. They suggested that the Bronco wasn't ready for the road, and that it was rushed into production.

If it were a standard size tube steel, I'm sure you could find some aftermarket solution to the problem. However, it looks like a custom size and shape, and has rounded corners, making it difficult to find an off-the-shelf solution. Perhaps an aftermarket company will offer something for it at some point.

Some body on this or the other forum found some nice plastic caps on amazon the fit nicely also I seem to remember a youtube vid.

Temp sensor for the dash thermometer?

I’m pretty sure the IIHS has only crash tested the 2021 4 door base. That’s the only video I’ve seen.

The aluminum body F-150 with and without crash bars showed very different ratings so they definitely make a difference.

I wouldn’t trust the internal manufacturer tests that are required either. Stellantis claimed that Jeeps don’t flip over in the small overlap test and yet they did twice, both on the initial and then the retest, when crash tested by an independent organization.

That’s cool. Guess it was just a matter of time before someone brought this to market. I like it! I’ll look into it.
