I'm helping my dad look for a grill guard for his 24 Ford Bronco Bandlands

We've run either Ranch Hand or Frontier on everything for the past 30 years so we're looking for something of similar style and quality. From what I've found, neither of those brands make anything for Broncos. He's not looking for a full replacement, just a grille guard.

Let me know of any recommendations y'all have or anything we should steer clear of.

First off, which bumper does he have? The Badlands comes with the "capable" bumper standard (has built-in fog lamps) or a heavy duty modular bumper as an option.

I also add that he needs to decide how much protection he wants and if he's willing to give up some of the front camera view. Many of the guards will fully or partially obstruct the front camera which interferes with the 360 view when parking.

Here's a pic he sent me of the front bumper. Not sure which one this would be. And he doesn't have a front camera.

That's the modular bumper. Good, it's much easier to bolt a grill guard on with that one. The attachment points will be the 8 bolts I've circled below.


I don't have any specific recommendations for a bar, but Rough Country and Turn Offroad seem to be popular choices. He'll have plenty of good options.

This one was on ours when it came home with us. I would rather have the short bull bar height, and it does not interfere with the front camera.

Extreme terrain online has several "ranch hand" type brush guards from around $200-$900. Also, check their open-box stuff as it constantly changes. Might get a deal on one with a small scratch, or a return ordered for the wrong bumper. Not sure on their pricing vs the rest of the internet, but I have picked up 2-3 small open box items at great prices.
