Thanks!

Likely will need a spring upgrade to compensate for the added weight.

I actually did install the Fabtech 1.5in lift to account for the slightly lower front ride height due to the weight. When someone comes about with a reasonably priced set of springs I plan on going that route.

Thanks for that... I took mine to ol' florida new years and the front end felt super low.... i ordered this kit myself.. (originally was going to just use the 1" leveling kit) and installed it... big difference and feels much better..

I put 11K+ miles on my MY21 Mid BigBend with the Warn Elite Bumper and a Warn Zeon 8s. No issues or noted with drive-ability. The BigBend is a 2.3L.

Warn sent me some Axis X2 fog lights that bolted on and worked just fine. I sent them my Ford factory fog lights from the standard bumper and they R&D an update to the bumper and shipped me one. Its going on my MY22 High-OBX that was just delivered to the dealer and picking up this week. I'll advise how the standard fog lights work in it.

This install, I'll try to take some more pictures and videos. As well will look to trim the plastic splash shield (I left the Big Bend one untouched just without the very front bolts installed. The front factory tow loops were barely usable and not needed, but I did attach my safety chains to them with a little maneuvering when flat towing with the bumper. I did buy the Rock Country D-Ring replacements for the tow loops, but would need some additional fab work and definitely overkill. More to come, as I plan on relocating the Zeon's control pack due to having a front camera now on the MY22-OBX.

As well, I live in OBX - bumper and winch held up great for a year out at the beach!

Who makes the Axis X2 fog lights?A Google search isn't proving fruitful for me.

I still have two empty holes where the fog lights would go. I've been engineering a possible solution to adapt the stock lights to the bumper but it's going to take some welding of some custom brackets and just haven't had the time. Would be great to find a reasonably priced bolt-on option.

Warn mentioned one when I inquired a while back but they were going to run about $500 for the set which is more than I wanted to spend. Thanks

Dont ask me what I was on and just seeing your email. This is what Warn sent me and I had in my Big Bend bumper: https://denalielectronics.com/products/dnl-dr1-050

I also put on the MY22 OBX the re-engineered bumper that they shipped with an adapter to re-use the factory fog lights. Both should work in the current shipping bumpers.

I did it on mine....

Do you have adaptive Cruise? if so does it work? I see the relocated parking sensors. How much of the camera does it block?

I tried to get the rigid lights to fit but they were not even close to center and vibrated. So I have diode dynamics in the bumper now and they are ok.
check out the rear bumper. Warn elite.

Who needs my OEM Modular front bumper (no sensor holes) and OEM winch plate?
Rear OEM steel bumper available too.

Would you ship the OEM winch plate? How much are you looking to get for it?
