Dissent OffRoad Low Pro Front Bumper issues.

[Archer]

Anyone install the Dissent Offroad Low Pro Bumper? Do you have pics of the Baja Design light mounts? I believe they may have sent me the wrong mounts.

Started prepping the bumper for install and when I got to installing the lights I found they don't fit the openings in the bumper. Lights are suppose to be flush with the face of the bumper but as you can see in the pics it hits the top of the bumper and will have the lights pointing down way too far.

Hopefully they sent the wrong mounts because if the bumper was made wrong to the point that the lights they sell for that specific bumper don't fit what else is wrong and there is no way I'm going to trust to cut the bottom of a 75K vehicles bumper off only to find the Dissent bumper doesn't fit the opening.

Can't really see it being the case as any different as any other low pro bumper they make as these are formed and have to fit together to be welded up. If something was off it should have been caught when trying to put it together.

I sent them a message Friday but haven't gotten a response yet. Anyone with pics of the Baja Design light mounts for this bumper would be great.

BTW, this bumper is beef and I really like it and hope it's a simple fix.

Just learned there may be a second set of mounts that Dissent makes for these lights, hopefully that's true and they just forgot to pack them because this put the whole project on a standstill.

Is this the one you are mounting?

Yes, maybe, found another issue.

I’ve been looking at that one. The behind the grill pod light mounts were interesting features to me but I noted from their online pics that the TRD models weren’t shown with the behind the grill lights. I messaged back and forth with Dissent and they told me because of the light bar you can only do the two outside behind the grill lights. Let me know if you go that route and if it works.

Just went to mount the Warn fairlead and the bolt holes are either too small or the powder coating is really thick. Either way I'm gonna mess up the powder coating mounting the fairlead.

With the first two things I try mounting and neither being able to do so has me really worried about cutting into the frontend. Once it's cut, it's toast if this bumper has more issues and doesn't fit.

Waiting to hear back from Dissent.

They are correct, you don't need the center light if you have the Rigid center in your Pro, therefore I only got the 2 side lights which are the issue.

I obviously didn't mount it yet since I'm having issues with it just fitting the supplied lights and fairlead into the bumper. No way I cutup my frontend until these issues are resolved.

That's what it looks like in a PRO.

Great news, Dissent has taken the time to respond to me over the weekend, seems there are 2 sets of brackets for the sidelights, one from Baja Design, one from Dissent.

Dissent will be sending me the right brackets. Shout out to Customer Service.

Dissent claims you can still mount the behind the grill lights on the TRD PRO but only the two outside ones.

Love to see it once you have it set up.
