2001 Ford Escape XLT 4x4 bumper guard help?

YOU STOLE MY ESCAPE! :stop:

No, wait, it's where I parked it. :worry:

I have not been able to figure out if it can go back any. Mine looks identical. I got used to it sticking out and it doesn't really bother me, it hasn't been a problem. I agree it would look a bit nicer snugged up closer to the front end. If anyone knows if it can be adjusted back I'd be all ears, but I don't see how.

Oh man! we do have the same escape...I dont have lights on mine but once im done with mine they wont look the same. I was thinking about maybe grinding a bit on the holes to slide it back just a bit and I have no idea what to do other than that. Its not a big deal to me if I have to do some cutting because the guy sold me that guard for $30...

Wow, that's a steal. Mine was a lot more than that, but I ordered it new. Had a heck of a time finding it, the brand name ones cost even more that it did, so for the price I got it at I was happy even with it sticking out. My assumption is it's made more to fit the later Escapes, since mine was touted to fit 01-07, maybe they have attach points farther back??

Good luck to you on your customizing. I have a few other things on my Escape so they aren't quite identical, but man when I first seen your pics I had to do a double take.

Hit a cow.

I got a new one of a different design ready to go on once I get my Escape back from the body shop.

What kind of lights are those on your escape?

Here is a LINK. They are made by Westin. I got a new set of those too after the cow busted the mount on one, now I got spare parts off the old set, but really they never have given me any trouble at all to need parts for.
