RedRock Bed Sliders.... with Backup Sensors...

[johnh442]

Anyone use these: https://www.extremeterrain.com/redrock-4x4-jeep-gladiator-bed-side-rock-rails-jg2317.html
With the backup sensors?

I have them, went to install, but the bumper bracket they want to replace holds the backup sensors... and no provision on them for it.

As mentioned on FB..... These came stock from the factory (I have backup sensors) on my 24.

Could you drill holes into the bracket or ty-wrap the wiring to it? I haven't looked under there much to see where the wires go.

Yeah these aren't the stockers..stockers probably have a provision (hole or something) for sensors. Its not so much the wiring, there's enough there, but the stock bracket has a hole that holds the back up sensor...

The real issue is I can't test fit them to see if I could drill a whole or something in the new bracket without cutting the bumper first.... I'd hate to cut the bumper then find out it won't work. ;-(

I mounted these two years ago. No issue with the sensors. I did have to remove those corner brackets and trim the bumper a little. It has been a great foot step to help with loading gear on top of the bed cap

Ah so Slojo you had the sensors? I'll look to try to take the stock bumper bracket off this weekend and see.

Ok Update:
1. They do work. You need to remove the steel bracket and the plastic bracket inside the bumper.
2. You need to relocate the sensor wire--my original concern with sensor housing is fine, its just a spot where the wire it routed/tied down, you can move it and stuff it in the bumper behind the bars. Why Jeep routed it like that I idk, its silly routing, but no matter you can work with.
3. Yes you need to cut it isn't bad at all and they fit fine.

Some helpful tips:
- Wash the underside and get all the loose crap out of there before you mess with it.
