We're happy to hear you're happy with the bumper, Neo! Good thing is if something happens again (God forbid), I think your bumper will be the one doing most of the damage next time. -Zach
No one has a video on how to remove the cover to reinstall it WITHOUT REPLACING IT. Its easy if you have a new bumper you dont have to worry about braking bv the tabs on the cover.
The license plate light provided with this bumper is absolute crap.. I’m replacing this bumper after one week. Was intended to replace damaged stock bumper which was quoted at 2k from a superficial fender bender. If this bumper facilitated the stock license plate lights then I could live with it. Not bad but not great either.
tazzyrew I doubt it. I’ve been looking at new bumpers too but each one I’ve seen say they don’t work with lane assist/BSM. I think the steel interferes with the sensors.
it is my understanding that the metal will interfer, however, the real question is does someone make a bumper that can be modified to support them. I am very much interested in an aftermarket bumper that gives me some decent recovery points, and a place to mount a spare tire carrier, and more importantly something that will not get cracked up so easily on the trail. so far I am coming up with a lot of "I don't know" from factory reps of various companies.
No hate here, but if you accidentally tap that plastic/aluminum foil factory bumper it will crack and bend so easy. not to mention it wont protect the tailgate from damage either. Man these plastic vehicles nowadays .... they dont makem like they used to.! peace.

Why not just plug into or tap into one of the factory license plate light plugs?
The Fab Fours bumper is very similar but uses the factory license plate lights and trailer plug. Direct swap over no mods required
nice clean fit just wish it had better backup lights
Awesome video! I wish you could have mentioned the back up assist sensors tho! Thanks of the help
When removing the lights and trailer plugs is it easier to do when number installed or once bumper removed. Once plugs disconnected that is of course
please make one that supports bsm that keeps your factory trailer hitch
I ordered one from you. Should be here today.
Awesome, Eric! We hope you enjoy it! -Zach
What did you do with the factory light plugs?
Does the bolts for the back up sensors come in the kit???
Where can I find this circular light? Not sure why they don’t just come with the bumper.
how heavy is the bumper?
question: Why remove the original light fixtures if they will not be re-used?
Don't they just get the heave-ho as part of the original "bumper" ?
Make one with dual license plant light that match oem and add two step cutouts in the bottom corners to make getting into the bed easier. Please
please God!

This bumper mess up departure angle for sure.

Do the lane assist sensors work with this bumper as well?

Sorry, hate me if you want, but the stock bumper looks better.
No hate! Everyone has their own tastes and there's plenty of manufacturers out there. Thanks for watching! 😁 -Zach
