    I have no info on that specific install, but I feel your pain on lack of install instructions. When installing my Victory 4x4 bumper, I had to bug the hell out of them for basic information like torque specs. I didn’t even bother to ask for clarification on using or not using the side brackets, since I figured I’d get non-answers. Though I did get mine installed for the most part on my own, it still could’ve been easier/less aggravating with some install info.

    Installed a CBI Baja a few days ago. Did it myself. Had my 10 y/o girl help removing stock bumper because one side was stuck.

    Previous owner had removed bumper before because i found rusted bolts, a broken bolt, and at least one other bolt was missing of the stock stuff.

    The CBI went on smooth after that.
    My OEM led fog lights fit fine with the brackets from the cbi hardware bag but i didnt like how they sat so got some DD SS3 ordered. OEM fog lenses are angled while CBI bumper opening is straight across so it loses some width from light pattern shining inside bumper. The SS3 are flat face so should fit in nicely.
    Stock suspension only sagged about 1/8 inch.
    It is a well made bumper. Good welds. Plenty of strength.

    I put the SS3s in mine, I had to get some washers and plastic spacers to jack them up into the opening but they fit really nice and are bright AF

    Oh, and you should post pics

    Any issues with your TSS sensor? Assuming your still have your sensor behind the toyota emblem. Literally the only thing stopping me from buying it.

    All sensors fine on my 18 Limited with CBI.

    Is sensor behind emblem or is it near top of grill? I saw an access panel at top of grill but don't remember what was under it.

    It’s behind that shiny big Toyota emblem.

    I have this bumper on a 2020, no issues

    You will need a 1/2" spacer if mounting SS3 fogs

    Do you have pictures of your rig? Specifically the front showcasing the bumper. And spacers to sit flush with the foglight holes, right?
