RPG Pre Runner Bumper Install and Review

[Fred]

Question for you Bud. Va requires a front plate. How and where would you suggest mounting a front license plate?

Great looking bumper...love the powder coat and the Vision light...

I know you said it sticks out a bit from the body. Would you say it sticks out any further than the original bumper. I am seriously considering this bumper after this write up but I still want my truck to fit in the garage. I have currently have 4" of space so its a tight squeeze...thats what she said.

Hummmm... you could always strap it onto the sides of it? or maybe instead of the lightbar slot just mount it on the upper skid? Id ask the guys at RPG for some mounting solutions. My best advise.... move.

All in all it probably sticks out about 2 inches more than the farthest part of the stock bumper aka those two black blocks. It definitely sticks out but I am not sure if it will fit in your garage. should but I am not positive.

This is how far it sticks out:

The solution is to get the back bumper as well!! Most of the back bumpers are slimmer than the factory, so you can lose a little in the back, and gain a little in the front.

Zip ties Fred. I believe I have seen the license plate installed on that bumper with that method somewhere before.

true but when the wifey drives the truck, I want those sensors to be there when she parks. sometimes the backup camera just doesnt get the attention like that loud ass beeping noise. Trust me I have definietly thought about it. She even admits that Railyn needs new bumpers front and back, the stockers are not aggressive enough.

RPG has fit the stock sensors into their bumper. Ask JB about it. Makes the rear flat but its doable and still looks good.
