    Quick reply! Ok, so the faceplate plate bolt holes, to lower just the face plate. Will look at that again. Did you get any feedback from CBI, assuming you contacted them.

    Yes on the faceplate. No reply from CBI whatsoever. I have a $1200 bumper that is better protected by Rustoleum than the powdercoat it came with.

    1:46 mark, CBI guy states doesn’t interfere with radar sensor or fog lights lol. Not sure how it couldn’t block some fog light output given it’s directly on the sides of them? I installed diode dynamics 6” light bars as mine came with blanks due to trd 3” lift kit from factory. Building my own trail hunter from a 24 platinum, I emailed CBI to see if possible to order one with trail hunter laser cut in it like the SEMA version, they said no, bummer. Guess I’ll get a plate cut out to cover fare lead wit on it, as I plan to put air horns instead of winch. For off roading that needs a winch I use the CanAm X3 XRS which I did install one on, so no need at this time for my application.

    currently on sale 10% off free shipping and coupon codes for more off. Thank I will order the on with the bar wish me luck, lol.

    Not sure what you mean about the fogs being blocked, maybe these images will help

    I meant on the Baja one with bar the side brackets for bar could block some side output of light, I don’t know about factory ones my tundra didn’t come with them but my DD 6” bars throughout allot of light to the sides the are as bright as the headlights wide angle beams.

    Oh the Pug Bar, some reason that’s what it always reminded me of. I just switched out my bumper for more protection than the Covert style. Good luck!

    Nice but over kill for my use, I baby this thing except for towing the toy hauler to the trails for the SxS. And some dirt roads farm land with roadway cutouts and rough country roads. No heavy duty off roading I reserve that to the CanAm X3. Looks nice though, awesome truck, love the silver kind of wish I had waited till I found one in that color as the gray is everywhere top 3 colors (white, black, gray).hardly ever see anything else but maybe lunar rock, rare to see red, silver, or the green or brown where I’m at in NC.

    @Tundra17944Ever. Do you have any pics of the front view camera on your 14” display now that the bar bumper is on it. I’m curious if it is visible at all or blocks any of the camera’s front view. sorry I just keep going back and forth on which to get with or without bar, I was hoping the bar was a bolt on but clearly isn’t. Getting the DECKED draw system now till I can make up my mind on this bumper I kind of want the bar but then again like the clean front side profile look at some angles.

    LOL…. Like my wife can’t make up my mind but unlike Amazon buys I can’t buy both and return the one I decide not to use. Thanks for your time in advance.

    It’s doesn’t bother me but I’m not parking close to anything in front unless I’m at Walmart. I still don’t fully trust the camera when parking with cement barriers in front. The parking sensors do a good job but the bar sticks out further.
