If it is the same bracket, I suggest removing the cladding entirely to pull out the bracket farther forward enough to re-align the screw holes with the plate. If not, you may need to remove the cladding anyway to get a closer look at this bottom bracket and make the adjustment then. ron
    I can try to figger' it out tomorrow...but anybody else know? I believe he's referring to the vertical black metal bracket with the rubber bumpstop on top of it. Can see in that one shot it does go down pretty far.....will have to check.

    Sue, I think Ron is right about pulling the lower cladding mount out a bit. If you've been to Moab, and I know that you have , you have probably pushed those mounts back a little bit. They are just flimsy pieces of metal used to hold the bottom of the cladding in place. I've bent them around a couple of time just pulling the front cladding off, or tryin to put it back on. You can really just leave the cladding on and give the bracket a good tug toward the front of the VX and it should move with no problem.

    I would have thought my Bull Bar took any impact ....but who knows....plus there's always the "hand-built" aspect we so frequently see.....
