    Just installed my new Pelfreybilt over the weekend. Not the easiest solo install, but made it work. Waiting on my lights to arrive, need to raise the exhaust to match new bumper height and done.

    ^ dude I feel ya. Spent Sunday installing The bumper by myself. Little tricky, but a jack came in handy. Trailer wiring was a tight fit, luckily I didn't have to extend it.
    CBI T3 with Baja S2's. Love it!

    I totally would but just missed the pelfreybilt moving sale. Need to wait for another GB or sale to justify this purchase. Lol

    Man..I really want to do a high-clearance bumper but just don’t want to lose out on having the blind spot monitoring...

    Bro, that looks great! Did you relocate your spare tire and reroute the exhaust?

    Crazy idea...
    BSM's can go through plastic.. not metal.
    There is ample room behind the tail lights, and the light housings are plastic...
    Hmmm

    Can't tell if you're legitimately trying to help or being a smart ass.
    Based on my research, I'm aware that the BSM does not work through the metal bumpers. Although I have not looked into this, you may be on to something with mounting the sensors behind the taillamps. I'll take a peek this evening to check it out. Thanks for the idea.

    I'm serious (for once). New F150's have them mounted INSIDE the tail light. Mounted behind should work the same.
    This is a legitimate theory. The BSM wires would prob need to be extended. I don't have the Technology package so no way for me to test

    All this talk on HC and nobody mention bruteforce yet? I think they have the best looking HC and also cheaper than most.

    I'll test this theory out to see what we can make happen. I'll post my findings this weekend.

    It's clean, but I like the Lines of the CBI better. the sides taper down for a cleaner look IMO

    I just prefer the higher ones for added protection and hoops. To each their own :thumbsup:
