Looking good, can't wait to see it on the truck, you doing a winch?

Probably not but maybe in the future, but I'll definitely have to look into a skid plate. I'm not sure the OEM one is going to attach.
 
The fact they can't come up with something that is low profile and juuuuuust covers the crash bars is nuts.
 
Initial thoughts: This bumper looks even better in person, and once i get these crash bars flipped up it will look even better. I'm very happy with the gauge of steel that was used. 8ga listed on their website. Let me save you some time reading and some money if youre in the front bumper market: This is a great bumper, on-par with the quality of my last ADD bumper for less than half the cost.

Unfortunately, there was some damage in transit, but i took pictures and customer support was very eager to make me happy. They offered a full replacement, but since the damage was not large, i figured that i could fix it myself if they were willing to give me a credit. They gave me 200 bucks back and a 20% off coupon for my next purchase (maybe the rear bumper is next???).

You will not lose any functionality with OEM sensors if you plan your build correctly. I recommend the ACC relocation bracket from Barricade for around 30 bucks. Don't waste your money on the one from ADD for over $200, that's just insulting. The OEM skid plate works just fine with this bumper, and you don't even have to remove the tow hooks if you dont want to. In fact, i recommend keeping them on so that you have somewhere to rest the bumper while bolting if youre doing this solo like I did. Also, put the wings on first, you will not have room to do it once the bumper is attached. (Trust me, I tried)

Weks prior to this, I pre-installed the fog-light pods to the wings and the rider hoop, or bull bar whatever you want to call it. Being a modular bumper, the hoop (bar) is optional and may be removed at any time.

The most time consuming part for me was moving the OEM sensor harness over to the new bumper. There are no mounting points for the harness itself other than for the proximity sensors, so get some zip ties to tuck and zip with. I used the double fog light harness from Starkey because i could not source the Molex MX150 plugs for cheaper anywhere. I used that to wire up my SS3 and SSC2's to the OEM harness. I had to run an additional cable for DRL power, but that comes with the territory.

As you can see, I did decide to color match with paint from touch-up direct. Since most aftermarket bumpers are black, I wanted to stand out just a little bit. The bumper did not come with the orange shackles, I added those afterward.

All in all, was a great install! If you have questions, I'll be happy to answer them. I'm looking forward to more pictures in the Smokey mountains next week just in time for October TOTM votes ;)

Looks great! What's your forward/360 camera view look like now?

It looks great! Nice work!
 
Really like that bumper, looks awesome.
Hopefully next weekend I can get back on my 2024 Modular bumper project……if I still don’t like the way it fits I may go the same route as you did.

I'm hoping it fits, and that the top valence gap isnt too obvious!

Not as bad as I was expecting. Still pretty usable!
 
Spoke with a rep from attica, they said that the rear bumper will not work with our trucks because of the dual rear exit exhaust. Not sure how they know that, I didn't think the hangers had anything to do with the bumper itself. I could be wrong though, it's been a while since i crawled under that end of it.

@beo_tom I know this is off topic, but what suspension are you running? Nice build, btw!

Thanks, it's getting there! The small tires make it look like a dude with small calves

ADS Suspension. It's adjustable, so i have it pretty much leveled with a very slight rake.
