Installed the Westin XTS winch bumper on my Wildtrak yesterday, and a few lights... Front camera relocation kit is on its way. (Would have liked to have done that first, but it has been on backorder for a while now).

Hey - that looks great. I was about to order one and wanted to see if anyone else had one yet. How did the install go? Any surprises. Where did you order? Thank you!

Looks awesome! I have one in my garage all set up just waiting to get my Bronco. Great to see one on your rig.

Are you having any issues with the ACC working correctly? One of the main reasons I chose this bumper. It seemed to have solution for everything. (ACC, sensors, lights, air venting, etc.)

ACC and parking sensors are working perfectly after install. The only problem I encountered, was that the (relocated) ACC sensor is now about 5-6" further forward than the stock location, so, the OEM wiring harness and plug would not reach it. I had to cut the harness and extend it by about 6" (four wires to cut / solder / heat shrink). Not really anything terrible, but it is something that Westin failed to address. I sent an email to them to document the issue and tell them that they need to include an extension harness in their kit, in the future.

The only issue I had was with the ACC wiring harness being too short to reach the relocated sensor - See my other reply. Ordered through Bumper Superstore. They had the lowest pricing on it, by quite a bit. It shipped direct from Westin, and took about 3 weeks for both pieces (bumper and the bull-bar) to arrive.

Great news. I will keep that in mind. I can handle wire extension. I love this bumper. It puts winch where it belongs and has a sort of retro look to me while being modern for Bronco tech. Thanks so much for your reply.

Same here. I ordered from Bumper super store as well. How big of a difference did you see in rake of front end. I am putting a Zone 3" lift which raises front 3" and rear 2". I am also putting an Expedition One rear bumper with tire carrier. I hope the weight is not a problem.

I expected that mine would drop a bit, but It didn't drop at all. I do have an RPG perch collar lift, on mine.

That's great news. So glad to hear it. I was already thinking about trying to find heavier springs if it dropped. I feel really good about my bumper now. So much of this is reading these forums, instillation guides, and You Tube videos. I am filling my garage with stuff as I wait on my Bronco with fingers crossed that it all comes together good. Again, thanks for the help.
