What’s the amber mount on top of the windshield?
+1 on this questionWhat’s the amber mount on top of the windshield?
You mean like this?!! https://bodyguardbumpers.com/2021-2022-ram-1500-trx-freedom-series-base-front-bumper-non-winchLooks awesome!! Wish they had the Baja without the winch as an option.
That doesn’t have the bar up in the front. I saw that but doesn’t seem to be the same as the Baja one.
Does anyone know how "legit" or "secure" those up front tow-hooks are? I saw some posts a while back discussing how most aftermarket bumpers these days have "superficial" tow-hooks that aren't attached to the frame in any meaningful way and therefore shouldn't be trusted in recovery situations. Any idea on how that may apply to this specific bumper? I actually really like the look of this one, but would want the tow-hooks to be legit.
are you talking about the recovery loops integrated into the BG bumper? They are like 7/8" steel loops so w/e the breaking point is on that or on multiple 3/8" grade 8 bolts (i personally upgraded to 1/2" grade 8 since the fit was perfect but the kit comes with 3/8")Does anyone know how "legit" or "secure" those up front tow-hooks are?

Do you think the bull bar would impede air flow? Not sure.Winch-mount ready + tons of light options + parking sensor happy + very low profile. These bad boys are gunna be on my bday or Xmas list as long as they have quick access for oil changes. Anyone try them yet??

Not at all. It follows the solid (non-mesh) part of the grillDo you think the bull bar would impede air flow? Not sure.
Ah, didn't realize they were called recovery loops, yes, those on the front of the bumper. Sounds like upgrading to 1/2" is a mitigating step to the issue.
