AEV front bumper installed!

Looks good! Grill and headlights from a night edition would definitely look clean.

Nice looking bumper, though the gap between the bumper and the body would drive me crazy.
Is there much adjustment in the mounts?
 
That's really a nice looking bumper... I suppose it is much heavier than OEM.
 
Which Warn winch did you go with?

What rubber stripping did you use to close the gap between the bumper corners and the trim under the lights? I'm installing my bumper, and the gap is HUGE on my truck! Also, anyone got tips on how to route the engine block heater? Between the late hour and AEV's meh pics, I'm stumped

Did anyone else have trouble getting the center park distance sensors installed? Granted it was freezing cold when I was installing the bumper. Do the 90° wire harness plugs really route straight down into the plate metal of the bumper? Seems like a terrible design. Or were my hands too cold to get the sensors to plug in the opposite orientation?

For what it's worth; I called AEV's tech support Friday, and they never got back to me

I had to lengthen the 2 center sensors wires and it was a PITA to get them installed. but it is doable.
 
Sorry for the poor lighting in the pictures, but I found that the 90° cable relief portion of the sensor plugs is removable from the rest of the plug housing. They "clam shell" around the wires/plug, and can be easily pryed off without breaking them if you're gentle. Removing the 90° gives just enough extra length that it is no longer a stretch to mount the sensors, and it is much easier to get the aligned in the bumper. Hopefully I stop getting the "wipe sensors" error

Now you tell us, LOL. I’m going to remove mine now just to relieve any pressure on them. Never got any errors the way they are now, but want a less stressed mount.
