Looks like these are the first aftermarket brush guard to pop-up on the market.

I can't find it on the manufactures website yet. Still waiting for a better option.

The bottom pipe is really close to the front radar. It even looks like it may partially block it, especially in the bottom picture. I wonder if it’ll interfere with radar operations?

The radar is on your windshield above the rear view mirror.

What, you’re kidding! I always thought it was behind the lower rectangular cover in the lower center part of the bumper! I thought I even saw some wires behind there. Thanks!

I’m going to have to look again. If true, I’m sure it is, I’m going to be mounting my front tag in that area! I been delaying it because I didn’t like the prospect of drilling into the nice bumper.

I was actually right! The radar is in the lower center section of the bumper.





This presents an interesting problem. How are you going to install an aftermarket bumper? You'll have to somehow remount the radar or parking assist sensor (if equipped) and correctly calibrate it.

First photo looks like it clears the radar sensor

Don't need the radar. Keep your eyes open haha. Primal outdoors cut it right out to put a winch.

LOL..I would think the radar is important with SCC. I would want to keep that working.

It would look much better powder-coated black.

I disable mine. It's annoying. I live in LA and you have to drive aggressively to get anywhere in LA traffic.

That’s so true, with SCC everyone will be cutting in-front of you where I live too.

It's a good start hoping to see more options soon.
