Openroad Panther 3S? I have the same one and am planning to install it with the CBI bumper as well, good to see they're compatible! How much cutting was required for the install? Can you share the install instructions, maybe in a PDF? I'm waiting for black friday to save some $$ on the bumper haha.

Is that a eco flow wave 2 you have there? And did you make that tube system?

Its actually the Wave 3 and Delta 2 Max. I ordered 25ft of semi insulated 4in duct from Amazon and used a rubber plumbing flange that fit the duct and the adapter perfectly then added a few velcro insulated sleeves also from Amazon. Kept me nice and cool all night.

I'm a tech idiot so I will try and post the PDF that CBI sent me unless you want to give me your email and I'll just send it directly. There was a decent amount of trimming of the lower grill section but pretty straight forward. Let's put it this way, the winch and CBI bumper install took about 35 minutes. The removal, cutting, and replacing the factory bumper took about 2hrs lol

Sounds like a fun Saturday project for me. Feel free to DM me the PDF, attachments are allowed there! Just wanna get a head start on planning.

I'm interested in the CBI bumper too can you attach the installation PDF? You can just reply and hit "Attach files" at the bottom of the post editor. Thanks!

How much did your front suspension drop with the additional weight of the bumper and winch? I’ve had the same bumper sitting in my garage for 3 months now waiting for Eibach to release their TRD Pro springs

 

[Cory39744]

If you don’t know, could you measure from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender? That will give me a good idea of the droop since I know the factory height.
thanks man!

I love my CBI supper stock bumper. It looks really good and not a bad price.

Looks like a nice journey! Thanks for sharing!

My stealth bumper is en route. Do you have the video mentioned in the PDF?

I installed the same rack as you, how do you end up mounting the tent with how lo-pro the rack is? I was thinking ill need the westcott rtt mounting brackets so I can atleast get in there to tighten the bolts.
