European front Rubicon 3 piece Metal Mopar Bumper

[Zippy 10]

Hello

Please after some help . Has anybody fitted this bumper and added the parking sensors . I have looked at Tarams great post and had a chat with him , but he did this before any copy bumpers came out with the location of the sensors on those , so wondered if anybody has copied this and how did it go .

There aren't any parking sensors on the front bumper. At least not in North America anyway.

Yup, there are front parking sensor on certain of the export models. Read the thread heading “European front Rubicon 3 piece Metal Mopar Bumper”.

My JLR have front parking sensors.

That's cool- I have a US spec JLUR in Europe, and with the tight parking spaces, I wonder if they can be retrofitted onto a US spec Jeep.

I did it in the US Rubicon PLASTIC bumper that I mounted in my EU spec JLUR; so I am guessing that as long as you are able to make the 6 holes needed in the METAL bumper and use the correct brackets for your sensors, it should be fine...

what harness do you need because there is a knockoff on eBay with the holes ready to go..

The front parking sensors harness in the EU spec Wrangler comes integrated with the LED fog lights.
Here is a picture of the harness in my JLUR (I think it has different connectors than the US harness)

It is possible, but man, those holes are damn hard to Drill. Friend of mine did this Work some days ago..He used a 80$ drill Insert with multiple positions 28mm ist needed. It took him 7 hours to measure drill and repaint.

before drilling your perfectly good OEM steel bumper, did you ever look into these knockoffs sold on eBay or Aliexpress - https://www.aliexpress.com/i/33060631404.html

Like with the rear parking sensors, the front also has specific brackets that goes in each hole that holds the sensors in the correct angle.

Yes, he used the sensors, and holders which came in his OEM EU bumper.
