What about that camera life....

 

[Paul Gagnon]

Now that's something I would definitely consider!

I wish they would build it to end at the fender, not the flare. As pointed out with the 4WP bumper, with fender deletes, the bumper oddly sticks out. It would help with the approach as well.

At least with the HD factory bumper you can remove the end caps.

Yes, not many folks have mentioned it, but these bumpers are all set at Sasquatch-width. Even if you have flares, but they aren't the wider Sasquatch ones, these bumpers will all stick out oddly.

That being said, you won't get the strength out out at the ends if they had some sort of user-selected width that bolted in.

AWESOME!!! I wonder if it blocks the electronics like the others would do?

 

[Virtual-Chris]

Do they support any of the electronics... parking sensors, adaptive cruise, camera?

IT appears the knockouts are there for the sensors...

Warn's site mentions how to deal with the camera blocking...basically grill guard remove and relocate control box (though they don't say where it is relocated). I would think if the other electronics were supported it would have mentioned it. My guess is no.

Edit: I stand corrected. Installation instructions posted later in thread show they do take the parking sensors. I don't think the avoidance system will work though.

This is the view I always judge a winch by. I can't stand it when they hang out real far. This one pictured is pretty good and tight. I'd like to see a side profile of the Warn.

I've seen them moved under the hood in many cases... I would assume this would be pretty similar

Ah. I was thinking somewhere else on the bumper but that makes sense. @WatchYourSix thanks for the link too.

Wife never let me install a winch on the Wrangler so I am still learning about all the options and such. I do like more of a hidden winch look. I am sure that someone will come out with a bumper that works with the Ford electronics. I can wait.

For $1,700 does it come with the winch?. There will be so many other options that are better priced
