The OEM steel bumper works just fine...have a winch and lights mounted...none of which block the camera.

I think anything that puts the winch between the frame rails(like the OEM steel bumper) is fine with the front camera. I have the Rugged Ridge Arcus with a winch and dont have any issues with the front camera.

And you can add a low rise brush bar and led strip and still have no blockage.

I will say that this brush bar is not as effective as the taller ones when in heavy brush.

Im pretty sure the op was talking about aftermarket bumpers. This is something im pretty interested in as well. Will some guys with aftermarket bumpers and the front camera post up some pics of their setups for us. And possibly a pic of what the camera sees if the front bumper is in the view at all to see how obtrusive it actually is.

Yes I have the plastic bumper, was looking to replace it with something aftermarket. Can’t bring myself to drop 1000 on the steel oem bumper.

Im in the same boat with ya. And i really like some of the bumpers i have seen. But that front camera was not a cheap option. Lol
