Best bumpers. I told Jerry I will wait for him to develop a rear bumper. That is how much I like them and the thermoplastic powder coating. Mine arrived from the shipping company with the front tow rings scratched down to the metal. Jerry sent me some plastic powder and used a heat gun and it was like new again. Stuff is awesome if it gets scratched or backed into it is a super easy fix. I should have taken a video of the repair that I did. I also used the relocation plate and put the winch controls under the hood and that was pretty easy as well. I need to update the profile pick I got my Warn Prolink via a free rebate last week in the mail and installed it. Looks complete now.

Nice! That's the one I have on order. What light did you go with ?
I used the Diode Dynamics lights. They fit really tight and look good but I wish I had more room. Makes me wonder if I should have went with Baja Designs, if they are smaller, to have a little more room to rotate.

I'm super happy with my BAMF Overland bumper with Baja Designs lights!

So I took a minute and looked up the size difference between Diode Dynamics SS3 (3.3”) and the Baja Designs Squadrons (3.07”). Diodes are a tad tight, probably should go with the Baja Designs for this bumper. They will give you more freedom on light direction. My Diodes have to point more or less straight ahead.

Thanks very much! That is good guidance. I'm also debating between Amber and white for those lights. In general I heard Amber is more for looks and fog like sightings. Put baby I'm out white lights over by the mirrors and keep Amber's at the bottom. Your thoughts?

I think the color is more preference. I would rather have the white everywhere but amber works. If you don't like what you get you can just change the lenses out to a different color or combo, your not stuck with what you buy first.

Very good point. I just ordered the Baja Design in Amber for the bumper fogs. Later, I may get whites for the side mirrors.

I keep hoping to see a bumper installed on an Outer Banks with adaptive cruise relocation. When I emailed BAMF shortly before I started this thread, he had said he hasn't had one installed on an OBX yet so he wasn't sure how the relocation would work... Guess enough time has passed that I need to email them again.

Check out these posts. For the one with the issue, we need to check if they resolved it.
