Front facing off-road cam bumper interference?

[ChromeToaster]

Have a JLR on order with the optional off-road cam and was just wondering if an aftermarket bumper with a small hoop will be in the way or if the cam will still be useable.

here's a bumper for reference with the short stinger style hoop.

It depends on how wide the angle is on the camera. Mine is aftermarket but I think it's mounted in the same location as the OEM camera. The bumper bar is right in the middle but doesn't block much. See my post here:

thanks a ton, that pic helps a lot. I'm gonna see if I can find out how wide the angle is on the Mopar cam.

Here's the view from a 21 OEM forward facing camera. Hope it helps you.

Sweet thanks look like it won't block too much with a small hoop/stinger.

How did it come out? I'm in the same boat and would like to see.

I think anything other than the small Mopar hoop on the steel bumper is going to block some of the view. Here's an older thread on the Gladiator forum that shows a couple views from the inside. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/grille-guard-front-camera-clearance.20045/

I installed the Warn mid height hoop and two KC Gravity 6" lights on a Maximus bracket and my front camera is all but useless now! It looks cool though. I'll try and get a picture tonight.

This is the view with the Mopar grille/winch guard:

I ended up getting a full stinger front bumper with the large hoop and it works fine with the camera as you look through the hoop vs it being in the middle of the screen. It blocks only a small area and its not an issue on the rocks. I mainly use the front cam when climbing stuff thats steep enough to not be able to see tire placement and it works just fine with the stinger bumper

Do you have a winch also? Trying to decide whether I should order my JLR with the Steeler Bumper and aftermarket winch mounting plate or get an after market bumper with a winch mount.

Yes I have a WARN ZEON 10s and got the LOD bumper that fits the winch inside vs ontop so I get to maintain as much camera view as possible.
