    Blocks some of the light horizontally on the outer two lenses. I changed the lenses so the middle 3 sections are "spot", and the outer two lenses are "flood". The flood lenses still gets light around the metal tube.

    Hey guys I am going to be getting this bumper soon. Hoping for a 15% off sale and may have to wait until Black Friday, but oh well.
    A few questions for those of you that have this bumper installed:
    1. How close does it fit to the original bumper plastic around the perimeter edges? Is there a 1/8 gap or does it touch, etc?
    2. I really like the hoop option but I have a Pro with TSS and the website is specifically disclaiming any verification that it will or that it won't interfere with TSS. I believe their "shop truck" didn't have any issue and it looks like there's a posting here that was also ok. Is there any verified instance of incompatibility? I'd rather not roll the $1000 dice on a hoop or no hoop!
    3. Any advice on install, etc?

    Thanks!

    1) It's close, 1/8" to 1/4", they recommend using edging to protect the bumper cover from coming in contact.
    2) No idea, don't have TSS.
    3) Follow the directions and their video. Very easy.

    1) The only cut line is on the very bottom of the bumper cover and is quite obvious.
    2) I made the license mount. I couldn't fine anything I liked, so I drew up a plan and researched some hinges. Works like a champ, when I remember to flip it up! (Only happened once :facepalm:) It flips more than 180* and gets the plate so far out of the way, you almost couldn't hit it with the winch line.

    1. ok cool - in the video the cut looks to be at a slight angle, so I was hoping it would be obvious and follow a contour line, etc.
    2. Nice work on the license plate mount!

    I have a 2020 Pro, the hoop does not affect the TSS, adaptive cruise control or front camera visibility. If you go back to page one (post #16), you can see pictures of this bumper on my truck.

    I used 3M clear vinyl along the paint matched plastic because of how close it is. Probably a 1/8" gap, but likely will contact the bumper while driving or flexing while off-roading.

    I installed the bumper by myself, it is straightforward. I was also able to squeeze a Warn VR-10 winch without moving the control pack, as well as a dual row light bar.

    Thanks - this is very helpful. I like that hoop but was concerned about TSS, CC, and camera.
    Are you still on the stock Pro/Fox suspension?
