I'm struggling with trying to decide on this right now. Really great information. I'm trying to decide if the Warn hoop has enough clearance for my Baja LP6 Pros under it, or go with the Mopar grille guard and mount them on top. Looks vs retention of trail cam useability.

So here's a question, has anyone tried something like the higher Warn hoop, lights under it, and relocating the trail cam to just under the hoop itself? or out front somewhere? The wheel markers probably won't be in alignment anymore but the camera would be much more useful. I don't know how often I'll use the trail cam so I may just cover it up. Shame to pay for it and not use it.
I have the medium Warn grille guard and lights mounted coming out underneath it. Still gives me a little room in between my lights and my winch.

Can you show pics? I'm guessing you--as others have stated--lose quick access to factory hooks?

Here are pics when I test fit my KC Hilites PRO6 LED lights on the OEM steel bumper with the Warn Low Grille Guard installed.

They fit perfectly using the existing mounting holes. I was a bit nervous if they would actually fit with the grille guard installed fit when I ordered the lights. I even started looking into making a custom mounting bracket for the lights.

BTW - the lights look blue because I had not yet removed the Blue protective film. I also ordered a set of White Lettering on Black decals from Pixel Decals for the light covers. I didn't think the yellow letters would look right.

I added a set of Amber Covers for the KC Hilites Gravity LED PRO6 lights on the front bumper.

Yes, all of these are the upgraded 3 piece steel bumper with removable wings in front of the wheels.

The Mopar is really a winch guard more than anything else (regardless what they may call it.

That's what I bought, because that is what I wanted/needed, but I will say that $200 for what should be a $69 part hurts a little
Any chance you can provide a measurement between the bolt hole centers left to right on the Mopar bar?

I may as well update on my post for this thread. I did get the warn hoop and I really like it even though it's just about made my front hooks unusable. I may still be able to get a tow strap in there. I haven't tried it yet.

Some updated pictures after the install. I does cover up the front camera quite a bit more than I would have liked. The lights are the Baja LP6's.
