C4 Lo-Pro front bumper and C4 rear bumper, feedback?

[JohnSadler]

Hello! I am planning a build and am curious on if anyone has any experience or feedback about the C4 Lo-Pro front bumper and the overland rear bumper! I’m just a bit concerned about the transferring of sensors and the calibration. I’d rather not have to take it to the dealership immediately after install.
I have not quite bought my truck yet but am just a month or two away… I’ve been saving for quite some time. I’m looking at buying the TRD Off Road in Mudbath.

No experience with the C4 but if you’re wanting something to compare it to I did a writeup here on the CBI Stealth. Learn from my mistakes and make sure you don’t have any of these problems with the C4. https://4gtaco.com/threads/one-year...-winch-fitment-issues-install-resources.1597/

Thanks for the response! I remember reading through your post when you first posted it. I’m curious if there will be similar issues whenever my offroad shop installs the c4. I’m definitely going to show them what happened in your situation.

I have the C4 Lo-Pro on mine. The only issue I had was the winch. I have a Warn XD9 with the 9.5XP 6hp motor. It didn't fit the cradle. Installing the original XD9 motor did fit. I used a relocation cable from Warn ($$$) to move the winch controller plug to the front of the bumper. Last, I clocked the clutch handle to make it easier to access.

Install was very easy.

On your fog lights in the bumper, how did you wire those? Did they go to an OEM switch or how does that work? Thanks for your info! Also, did adding this bumper and winch tank your mpg? I know it’s smiles per gallon but I’m still curious. Thanks!

Fog lights. They are wired through one of the dash aux switches. It was stupid easy, at least for me.

MPG. This was installed as part of a larger build. Heavy rear bumper, a canopy camper, and a little lift. So ya, my MPG tanked, but I doubt the front bumper had anything to do with it.

Nice. Thanks! I’m adding the C4 rear bumper, front skid, rock sliders, and Lo-Pro. Also going to go with 285/70/17 C load wildpeak At4w. I’m estimating I’ll probably get around 18mpg but we shall see.

I get 16-17mpg, but I'm heavier. Same tire. 6MT.
