Installed on a '16 Renegade Dawn of Justice. Some front-end modifications were required. For the non-trailhawk versions the radiator needs to be moved into a higher position and replaced with a trailhawk support bracket (supplied by avid). This move requires some trimming in order to ensure that the radiator hoses clear the bracket. In addition, the skirt on the radiator had to be removed. The bumper itself is completely bolt-on, there is no drilling required. The bumper completely replaces the aluminum crash bar and utilizes the supplied bolts.
Can we get a shot of underneath? I’d like to see what it leaves exposed since they don’t offer a front skid for it yet. Also seems like there is a gap between the wheel trim and the bumper on the drivers side that isn’t there on the pasengers... is that just the way the photos look?
Thats awesome!!!! I have a 1.4L so i am waiting on them to finish the design for that. How long did it take for them to ship it to you?
Here you go. For reference, I've got the 18-inch rims. I like the stance that the new bumper gives the car. Personally, I never really liked the look of the standard bumper cover. The bottom of the radiator bracket is exposed, I'll likely be looking into skid plate options in the coming weeks to give it a more "finished" look. Now that I've driven it around going up to about 60 mph I can say that there was no discernable wind noise or difference in acceleration or handling of the vehicle, but your mileage may vary. I drive on the highway to get to work so ill post an update once I get it up to higher speeds. Shipping took about a week once I ordered it (Texas -> NJ) and cost about $50. As far as the install, it wasn't anything too difficult. I don't consider myself a mechanic but I'm definitely handy. That being said there were for sure a couple cringe-worthy moments where I realized I'm ripping off the perfectly good front-end of a brand new car, take that for what you will.
Hi, For the Avid Contour bumper, can you fit a full size winch or does only a smaller winch like a atv/utv winch will fit only to this bumper?
That's very nice but how would you use it, plug in controller, unlock to freewheel etc.... Copied this from Avid Website .... Winch Mount with compatibility for most compact winches rated between 4,500-6,500 lbs,
Man all their stuff looks so good! I ordered the radius bumper and areo snorkel. I could have gone with either bumper and either snorkel, they are all just nice pieces of work. They just shipped yesterday, so I super excited!! Do you know of any links to help me take my stock bumper off? Im considering the install myself but want to know how detailed it will be. Any idea on how long and what tools I will need? Also Burntoast, what are those amber lights you have on your grill there?
