    Hey all,

    I've been continuing to add pieces to my new 2020 Venture: RSG angled sliders, LED fog lights, Kenda R/T tires (pics below if interested).

    One of the next items I'm looking at (within the next year or so) is adding either a winch bumper with a bull bar, or another low profile bumper that fits into the middle molding on the stock bumper. I've seen that most options on the market today will prevent the sonar on the 2020 from working.

    Anyone know of some well known companies making high quality bumpers that adhere to the sonar on the 2020 4R?

    I just found this while searching for info on Kenda tires.

    How are you liking those Kendas a few months later? Are those the stock size? They're on my short list for tires for mine (stock height).

    It looks like they only come in load range E though, so I'm concerned the extra weight will negatively impact performance and mileage. Do you have any observations to share in those areas?

    Thanks!

    Also, great choice of sliders, I'm running those same ones on mine.

    Most small bumpers without bull bar work with TSS. I saw one (don’t remember which one) where the “large hoop” worked with it as well. It was one of the well known brands, so if you’re not on a phone, like I am right now, it should be easy enough to find. It’s not Hefty or Victory4x4 - these only work without hoops.

    Hefty offers a TSS relocation kit. I ordered their prerunner bars with it.

    I love the look of my Kenda's, but they definitely hit hard on the gas mileage. I'm in the city mostly and rocking 15.5. Bet i've gotten on the highway is 18 when the wind is behind me and I'm below 70

    Me personally would buy a winch bumper without bull bar if I got TSS.

    Truthfully I really want a full bumper, none of the low pro ones.

    I wonder how soon we'll be able to get TSS compatible full bumpers, or if we'll have to settle for relocating it with kit.

    My dream is getting a full bumper that requires no factory bumper cutting that's TSS compatible. I'm scared as hell to cut that thing myself!
