    Saw this at the Jeep dealership yesterday. Ended up talking to the dealer technician that installed it all for about 30 minutes. Its the 7th one that he's done so far and they are hot sellers. Waiting on a quote from the dealer to do the modifications to my 2016 Toaster latitude 4x4 the same that has been done on this one minus the aftermarket rims. I'm sure its going to be a good chuck of change. The pictures really don't do it justice. They wanted to put a Daystar Bull Bumper on it but apparently if you do that then it renders your cruise control if installed useless. Daystar is working on a fix for this. I didn't pay attention to the aftermarket 16" rims, what brand they were, etc. I will be keeping my stock rims when I do my modifications, they look pretty good as is. There is only a very very slight bit up rubbing in the wheel well when the tires a turned View attachment 2855 View attachment 2856 View attachment 2857 View attachment 2858 FULLY to the left and right. For MOST normal driving unless you turn your wheels full there won't be any rubbing at all.

    I am curious about the cruise cntrl problem with the Daystar bull bar. Isn't the bull bar just a bolt on?

    Having the bull bar in front could mess with the adaptive cruise making the sensors think there is some thing in front of you. IMO I think they should take that adaptive cruise off vehicles. It just gives you one more reason to not have to focus on driving.

    That's correct, or at least what the tech. told me. As he explained it and showed me, on the front bumper on the drivers side there is a sensor that is part of the cruise control. It's a square maybe 4" x 4". When mounting a bull bar on the front it covers up that sensor making the cruise control non-operable. Seems legit. He said he called Daystar and they told him that it is something that their engineers are working on resolving. This guy knows his stuff. Older fella. He's the guy that 4 Wheel Parts Wholesaler and other local 4x4 shops call when they need help or have a question.

    Adaptive cruise on the limiteds only, not an issue elsewhere.

    OK, thanks for that. Makes sense now.
