Yeah the 40ā spare tire looks ridiculous and honestly too heavy to even be functional. Iāll throw a rotopax gas can on there for long trips but keep a lot of the necessities in there for every day use. The lights give great output even behind the grille honestly. Similar to a fog light in the...
Itās a full brush guard for the modular steel bumper. You can remove center grate for better camera view if needed. There are sensor relocation brackets available for it if you need them
Added a couple new mods to my OBX build
MP Concepts Fender Flares from Extreme Terrain (identical size to Sasquatch flares with a more aesthetic appearance. Mix between a bolt on look and oem but without the bolts. Pretty happy with the fit and they use the oem fasteners and levers)

No you donāt need the cutout. Just need to attach the brackets from Colorado canyon enthusiasts directly to where the side pieces of the rack screw to the front of the wind deflector. Itās a perfect match
This is the link to what I purchased. Itās crazy how cheap it is for the quality, fit, strength

I have not had any issues but I also have never been fully flexed. There is approximately 3.5ā between UCA and first point of contact being the reservoir hose fitting. Based on the arc needed to make contact it would put my tire beyond its travel capacity anyway. But perhaps someone else has...
Yeah I agree that would be ideal. Oddly enough though I donāt notice any gear shift issues at speed and stepping on it. Itās the funnest thing Iāve ever driven. Much better than my 250 diesel
I live in Tampa FL though. I built this for more practical application in my area. Dirt roads but mostly flats to camp sites and a ton of highway driving. If I lived in a different part of the country I agree would basically be useless unless I upgraded the rear axle etc.
Yeah I was actually running the pre runner prior and I couldnāt get passed the fact that the way it mounted to the bumper seemed more aesthetic and not functional. Looks great though
Oh for sure. When the time comes all of those items will need to be upgraded. Iām not under the illusion they will hold up for an extended period of time although I donāt go really hard fortunately.
