Default Brush guard help !

Hey I’m having a difficult time lining up the brackets for my brush guard. Some people are telling me I do not have the right brackets and others are saying it should bolt right up. I have a picture of the brackets and bar. Any help would be so much appreciated thank you

That doesn't look anything like my brackets.

Well ****. I bought this guard off of a 2000 expedition.
I thought it would have bolted right up

Then your sure the Expedition was a 2000? Those brackets you have actually look more like they'd fit a 97/98.

From my experience the 10th gen F150s have different chassis than the Expeditions, I bought a rear bumper off of an Expedition and a trailer hitch mount, spent like $120, and they didn’t fit at all! I was pissed since I declined a warranty.

you learned the hard way, I saw it when I went to pull one from an expedition and then kept looking around for an f150. When they looked drastically different, I questioned it as well. That’s how I learned

edit:
I actually have a brush guard for an expedition, so I’m interested if anyone has fabbed up a set of adapters.

The front should be the same. The rear is definitely different.
