ADD Rock Fighter questions

[BuaidhNoBas]

I’ve tried searching both of these questions and haven’t come up with anything, so apologies if these have been covered already.

I’m shopping for a bumper - my wish list is winch-compatible (preferably with winch tucked in/not very high), “stealthy” or stock-ish look that complements Bronco design, minimal added length, preserves parking sensors/ACC, doesn’t impede front camera (will relocate if necessary but would be great if I didn’t need to), and space in bumper for lights (want to run some road-legal fog upgrades). I actually love the Lobo WNC, but it doesn’t have any room for fogs in the bumper and it’s a little more exposed that I would like. So, I’m looking at the ADD Rock Fighter and I have a couple questions:

1. does anyone have any pictures from the front camera with a winch that has had its control pack relocated? I’m wondering if I could avoid a camera relocate If I relocated the winch control pack.

2. has anyone punched out the little insert where the “RF” logo is and added some inconspicuous road fogs there? I might add another set up top on the side as off-road lights but I don’t want to run those on-road as I figure I would get hassled for them. See picture for the area I’m talking about.
Thanks for the feedback.

I’m also looking at the DV8 off-road Spec bumper but I know I’d have to do a camera relocate on that one and it doesn’t seem quite as beefy as the ADD. I also like that the ADD is made in USA

I am not sure what fogs you had in mind but looking at the ADD site I would say it could be modified to work but would possibly require welding some sort of mount inside the bumper. Looking at all the other designs and how lights are mounted I am pretty sure they have welded in mounts and do not have the light attached to the insert. I would give them a call and I am sure they will be able to help out, they are pretty cool cats.

The RF logo spot is a bolted on plate. There is no light mount made for that spot, you have to make your own custom bracket.

I have the ADD Rock Fighter Bumper and I had the same concerns about the camera being blocked by the winch so I'm going to buy this: https://a.co/d/duohjUQ. Seems to fit the bill and works with all ADD winch bumpers. Looks very easy to do as well.

As for the "RF logo" it is not welded on like some have said. It's just bolted on. See pic (pic is from inside of the bumper). However, I don't see any viable way to mount cube lights in that space. Really nothing there to mount to. Just an empty space.

It's a great bumper. Beefy and quality finish. Can't go wrong with buying it.

Thanks for the info and the picture - that helps. Let us know how the camera mount works out, I was worried the bar is so low profile it would be tough to get a camera relocate wedged in there but hopefully since DV8 and ADD are the same company they’ve thought ahead and it’s compatibLe.

As for lights in the logo space, I was thinking of using an L bracket and screwing it into the top set of screw holes, and drilling out a channel for the lights to screw in. Looks like there’s not too much room above the opening so the hardware might hit.

We have a Badlands SAS with OEM skid plates. Does anyone know if the OEM skid plates work with this bumper. I compared ADD vs DV8 and leaned to ADD given made in the USA (DV8 is much cheaper)
