    Having a little off-road fun a few weeks back I completely ripped off the factory drivers side bumper skin / underneath mount on my rear bumper. I've done a dive online / and TW and haven't found any 3rd gen era bumpers that accomodate both blind-spot-monitoring and backup sensors...This community is usually really good at knowing a lot about everything...so, anyone have any experience or know of a 3rd gen aftermarket bumper that checks the technology bumper box? Thanks

    Can you post a photo of exactly what you damaged? I have replaced a rear bumper cover and I have BSM and Parking sensors on my '21.

    There’s only 3 that claim to support BSM
    Apogee offroad, 4wp, fishbone offroad and buckstop
    Their caveats are: Apogee is expensive, spotty bsm functionality reviews, and the other two have effectively no reviews at all.
    Pick your poison
    Edit: 4wp has been discontinued, but fishbone is a new contender and there’s a video below

    If you decide to repair with OEM parts, post #22 has a good write-up. Post #5 has an exploded view of parts.

    I feel your pain. I did mine in my driveway after a weekend of snow wheeling. :annoyed:

    I think I'm going to give up on the bsm and find a high clearance that works with the backup sensors at least. I scraped and creased my bedside too so a HC will hide it a little better.
