Your welcome yea for the price point we didn’t expect it to been great lol. But we are very surprised that all the lights and hardware are still perfect no foggy lens or any rust
I'm watching this because I mine is made by longsun, I need front bumper. Lights, I was off roading and submerged bumper, lights aren't water proof, j need to replace. I paid 750.00 for thr front,and 550.00 for the rear. I could use your recommendation for replacement lights
Anychance any of yall have the installation instructions for 09-14 f150 for this front bumper. I left my sitting out side before a storm. Maybe yall could send me pics of the pages.
those aren't the fog lights on the end champ😉 those are driving lights, just like on your factory bumper driving lights 😉 fog lights are the one in the middle that are square
Great review of the bumpers. I was wondering if you happen to have a measurement of how much lower the front bumper sits then the factory. I have a plow frame on my 2500 and want to make sure it wouldn’t interfere
It’s slotted for adjustment….the approach angle is better than stock to us it looks to be really close to stock if not a little higher we can see the cooler lines now hope that helps
So I love it so far my first winch was the 9k old style steel one…(still works today) been in the elements for over 5 years……. The new one is great I like the synthetic rope for safety it pulls the 3500 fine with the brakes on… So if they work once and broke I’m satisfied because I could get 3 before I get a warn (HB one is identical) Excellent value for the $$
@@DIYKAI for the life of me I can’t figure it out. I took them out of the plastic housings, but they just won’t pop into the Vijay bumper parking sensor holes? Maybe you can make a video on that. Your video has helped tremendously so far. Thanks a bunch.
I’m looking to order these myself and notice you said yours were specifically for a dually. I have a 2013 Chevy 3500HD dually but I don’t see anywhere on the site where it mentions special ones needed for the dually. I just see them for 2500 & 3500 but no mention of HD or dually.
That was the issue we ran into they seem to have made it for most truck our dually is the high output model and had the factory heavy duty hitch install at the factory….we ran into clearance issues with the tailgate it rest on the bumper scratching it….we plan to cut some of the bumper away to clear it
@@shelbygrayii1927 yes it will fit and it's not really the tailgates that are going to help.....what the issue is if you have a factory heavy duty hitch specific dodge we don't know about other makes the bumper sit a tad high and with the bolts and straps they use to hold the ends on it just sits on the straps... basically of your bumper has the bumper style hope for a hitch the Vijay bumper don't have the cut out
@@shelbygrayii1927 over all besides that issue the bumpers have been fine and all the lights work one gets very slight condensation but nothing to cry about decent deal for the $$$ they are heavy and hold a 12k winch
Yes we have so the front bottom are spliced into the fog harness. The light bar we have on a Aux switch box we installed as it draws some power and the rest are also on the box
@@matthewesterbrook6119 depinned them and slide them into the plug on the factory side and taped you could use the old plugs or get new ones either way works
Thanks so much for your help. What did u mean about flipping brackets around? Slots on outside vs inside as depicted in instructions?? Or switching sides? Or?
@@DIYKAI thx, no worries, got it installed and see the access for the intercooler. It’s a bitch to line the bumper up evenly! On to the wiring. Thanks for your help!
Hey I just got these for my 2500 do you know the amps of the leds I have a few inline 10 and 15 amp fuses but not sure witch to use also my relay hub has a max of 10 amps so I dont want to burn it out
@@DIYKAI 2016 ram 2500 Cummins. I’m Having trouble removing the 2 bolts for the intercooler support? The 13mm bolts. Any tips or tricks or advice? Thank you.
Thank you for the detailed review. Especially pointing out the weld work. Definitely short in spots.
Your welcome yea for the price point we didn’t expect it to been great lol. But we are very surprised that all the lights and hardware are still perfect no foggy lens or any rust
For the longest time I wanted add or fab4 but these are an awesome deal!
Yes they are and still doing fine
I love this bumper
Yea they are great and have been so far
Thanks so much for all of your help buddy
Your welcome
I just got both of mine in today
Sweet! Have a helping hand and some jacks it makes the job way easier lol
@@DIYKAI I have a lift . I have a 8” lift with 40” so it up in the air . Mine came wrapped up. Good not seen anything wrong with the paint yet .
Looks Good 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I guess mine is slightly different. Mine is a longsun manufacturer

Im looking at this for my truck as far as bumper strength with using a winch how is everything holding up
@@itsjusta2v211 12k winch traveled across the US and used it several times no issues so far
Thanks for this video. I just installed my rear bumper while watching it. Did you fix or configure it the sensors? Mines are not working properly
Just turned them off we think they would have to be moved to the original spots maybe we will do it later on but for now they are off
those aren't the fog lights on the end champ😉 those are driving lights, just like on your factory bumper driving lights 😉 fog lights are the one in the middle that are square
We wired them to be fogs to those lol
Did you buy it on the website of the brand (Vijay)?
No Amazon
Great job, thx. Can u mount winch after bumper install?
No it’s would be almost impossible it’s best to do it all at once
Thanks
Thanks for video, see its been awhile, are you still happy? Dose it seem strong enough to take a deer ? Thanks again
you're welcome and yes still very happy with them. It's thicker than the stock bumpers so probably but we dont want to find out lol
Wow a 2” saw hole would have been a much cleaner look smh
I agree but we have the man’s version of this truck and it has a large plate from the factory under it as well this was a quick clearance.
Great review of the bumpers. I was wondering if you happen to have a measurement of how much lower the front bumper sits then the factory. I have a plow frame on my 2500 and want to make sure it wouldn’t interfere

Did you try this bumper with the snow plow frame yet?
We have not maybe James can chime in
How do u like the winch? Had a smittybilt on my wrangler, worked exceptionally well, no issues
So I love it so far my first winch was the 9k old style steel one…(still works today) been in the elements for over 5 years…….
The new one is great I like the synthetic rope for safety it pulls the 3500 fine with the brakes on…

Having a heck of a time fitting the rear parking sensors in the rear bumper? Any advice? Thanks for the video!
You must remove them from the litter plastic holders we used the little foam that’s around them and shoved them in the holes
@@DIYKAI for the life of me I can’t figure it out. I took them out of the plastic housings, but they just won’t pop into the Vijay bumper parking sensor holes? Maybe you can make a video on that. Your video has helped tremendously so far. Thanks a bunch.
Yes we can make one today for you

Where does the name 'Vijay' come from??
Who knows lol it’s made in China by some guy from India probably lol
Probably Vajayjay, short for Vagina lol
Also wondering about intercooler blockage, may add a scoop to increase airflow
I wondered as well towed over 10k no issues
@@DIYKAI I see it hangs out below the bumper, (good) may add a scoop to help it, don’t want to decrease approach angle
Yes it takes a little getting used too but I don’t park near anyone anyways lol

Have you wired up those LEDs? I'm having a hell of a time finding the size and power needs. Any advice?
Yes we have so the front bottom are spliced into the fog harness.
The light bar we have on a Aux switch box we installed as it draws some power and the rest are also on the box
What plugs did you use to plug in to the harness for the fronnt fog lights
Factory plugs so the factory switch operators them like normal
@DIYKAI so did you cut them off you old bummer or buy new new ones
@@matthewesterbrook6119 depinned them and slide them into the plug on the factory side and taped you could use the old plugs or get new ones either way works
@@DIYKAI okay that makes sense
@@DIYKAI did have to drill and holes for the front bumper sensors
How did you do all the wiring
Fogs are wired directly to the stock plugs…everything else is run off a aux switch set up
Wheres the uploads of the ef lol?
Coming soon lol
Thanks so much for your help. What did u mean about flipping brackets around? Slots on outside vs inside as depicted in instructions?? Or switching sides? Or?
Your welcome! So I believe I swapped sides and flipped them let me check
So the triangle slant on the main bracket that bolts to the frame is on the top side the holes on the flat plate are on the inside
@@DIYKAI thanks, triangle slants on top outside also, yes?
Guess there is no way to send u a picture, you would be amused by all the pieces on my garage floor🤠
I think there is only one way for them to be installed IAW it instructions
Would I have to cut a hole in the rear bumper for a f150 2018 5.0 crew cab? And did you need a wiring harness and if so where did you buy it?
It depends on your set up….this is a ram…..does your f150 have a tow package or bumper mount hitch/hole usually rated 500lbs
The harness/switch system I used was this:
amzn.to/3yyKTUi
I can’t determine what to use the 4 long bolts for? 120 mm
I think I had some left over as well lol
I can check in the morning if u need
@@DIYKAI thx, no worries, got it installed and see the access for the intercooler. It’s a bitch to line the bumper up evenly! On to the wiring. Thanks for your help!
Awesome glad you got it….I wired the long fogs directly to the fog light plugs works great I used an aux beam controller for the rest
Did u take 2 brackets off each side of the frame and not use them?
Factory mounts gone lol
The tow hooks and all came off just used the supplied stuff lock tight everything after final adjustment lol
@@DIYKAI lots of useless metal
You have any issue with the fender liner on the front sticking out to much?
yup we trimmed them
@@DIYKAI you have any suggestions on switches for the lights/bar?
@@russianwolf1 yes this one is what we use and it's amazing.

Hey I just got these for my 2500 do you know the amps of the leds I have a few inline 10 and 15 amp fuses but not sure witch to use also my relay hub has a max of 10 amps so I dont want to burn it out
If your trying to run all the lights off 10a it’s not enough
I have the light bar on a 20a fuse I used aux switch system as they have integrated fuses
What size light bar does it have?
24" and is very bright
Is yours a Cummins? I’m struggling removing the intercooler support bracket? Any tips? Thanks? Appreciate it!
Yes Cummins 6.7 2012
What year is yours?

So mid 12 the intercoolers were changed you have the small half one that sits low?

Did you have to move the raise or move the inter cooler at all?
no what year do you have?

@@nickoalleno we have the large intercooler up top
How do you access the winch clutch handle? Did you clock it to another position from the factory default position?
No there is enough room to reach in
