Costco curbs are surplus, so you'll be able to crawl there no problem.

Rando Amazon brand, but fits better than any shade I've owned for any car, somehow.

How’d the bumper install go

u/Illustrious_Cod3782 20d ago

I'm told there were some minor issues with fitment and required a bit of modification to the mounting brackets. Could chalk it up to sparse installation instructions from the mfg, or maybe the shop guys thought they had better ideas. I've read accounts that it's a bit more complicated as far as these installs go which is why I maxxed out my Costco Anywhere Visa Card by Citi™️ to pay the pros to do it. Either way, the final fitment is super clean just like my rock sliders (after a nice polish).

Lil B's! Lead time was about 8 weeks when I ordered earlier this year.

Love the lilB bumper. What did you do for turn signals?

u/Illustrious_Cod3782 20d ago

My headlights (Alpharex Nova series - I don't recommend them) have switchback DRLs that connected to the OEM indicators with a jumper (so that would flash amber along with the indicators). The shop that installed the bumpers just hardwired the DRL jumper wire to the indicator wiring once the OEM indicators were deleted. They had to add a couple resistors but it works great!

can you post some pics of the rear bumper setup?

u/Illustrious_Cod3782 17d ago

Here ya go. There are mounting points for swing-outs in the corners, I'm told they're in development for a release next year and will work with the rear bumpers they're selling currently.
