Front bumper upgrade for Trailhunter?

[tacorancher]

I installed the CBI Convert Super Stock bumper with a HF Apex 12k winch and it didn't affect my front ride height at all.

Nice - what does it weigh

I'm guessing right at 150lbs. I think they quote 80lbs for the winch and 70 or so for the bumper.

Hell yes. That is exactly the bumper I was considering, so this is great news.

Check my post on the install. I'm not unhappy I bought it and once it was installed it's great, but there were some issues...

Yeah, I saw it when I was considering which one. If there were any that looked remotely as good I'd probably go elsewhere because of your issues. I may just have a bunch of questions when the time comes.

Question for you. With this install you lost the circular sensors on the stock bumper right? What are they, parking sensors?

No, the Super Stock Covert is a bit more stealthy design and doesn't replace the plastic the sensors sit in (yes, they're the parking sensors). Regardless which bumper you choose though, almost all claim to keep the sensors functional and as many options as are out there I wouldn't consider buying a bumper that didn't work with the sensors.

Sorry, just to make sure I understand, you had to remove the sensors? But if you had to do it again you'd buy a bumper that kept them?

No, sorry if I'm not being clear. The bumper I chose didn't affect the sensors at all. They're still in the factory location since the plastic where the sensors sit is still being used.

What I was trying to say is that even bumpers that replace the factory plastic where the sensors sit should have holes to allow the sensors to be reused.

No matter what option you go with you shouldn't lose the sensor functionality.
