Where you able to get your backup sensors working properly with the LOD bumper? I’m considering buying one but want to retain proper use of back up sensors.I just finished my install, highly recommend it if you are on the fence. It took me about a week to install:
- Ordered more tools
- Waiting on more parts
- Warmer weather
Everything installed as expected and all notches are where they should be (swing arm notch). I do need to play around with the positioning of the sensors as the outer sensors are triggering immediately. The sensors are sitting loosely but plan on putting in a rubber spacer to tighten up the fit.
I haven't. The sensor is too close to the spare tire. The center ones always go off in reverse.Where you able to get your backup sensors working properly with the LOD bumper? I’m considering buying one but want to retain proper use of back up sensors.
That is disappointing. @lodoffroad has this been fixed in revisions of the bumpers?I haven't. The sensor is too close to the spare tire. The center ones always go off in reverse.
I had the same problem with my Warn Elite bumper. First that's piss poor engineering for a company of that size and stature. The fix they said was to rotate the in-board sensors until they don't trigger off the spare tire. It worked ... although I'll think twice about purchasing anything else from them.I haven't.

Hello Joe,Bumper Review
I purchased the full enchilada LOD rear bumper system and wanted to provided feedback for anyone else considering this as an option.
I had my hesitations with some of the other feedback, but given this Jeep is an overland build and I have a power top, I did not want a full roof rack and a partial roof rack is not an option with that top
Nice that you replied but this is just wrong. Your design with regards to the sensors is just faulty unless you have changed it since I got mine. You guys flat out did not do your homework on this and it is my biggest gripe as I have not been able to use mine since I mounted your bumper in 18.Unfortunately we cannot guarantee the sensors will work correctly with every setup, many factors come into play as your probably know.
The issue is with larger than stock tires. The middle sensors sense the tire and sets them off.My parking sensors have functioned the same as stock since installing - no complaints from me.
That’s absolute BS. The lack of this feature is why I didn’t buy it for my JK. I have one on order and if LOD does this on mine it is a deal breaker. I had a similar setup by a different company on my JK and often had the swing gate open without the door because of things mounted between the 2.LOD said they would not reimburse me for having it fixed or replaced the tire carrier since they deem the swing stop a "minor feature" that does not inhibit the ability to use the tire carrier.
So basically I'm stuck with taking the swing stop off and either never separating the tailgate and tire carrier, or if I do being very careful to not let the tire carrier swing open and slam into the car.
drtrdr85, I'm reviving a buried post for this question, but what hardware did you buy for that bolt w/ hole / hand knob combo you used to mount the maxtrax using the handles?Mine had no issues with the swing stop. I got mine around a month ago. Added the maxtrax to the rear today. So far so good.
I installed the rear bumper last weekend, waiting on a part before I can complete the tire carrier installation.
My parking sensors have functioned the same as stock since installing - no complaints from me.
Also, I'm not entirely sure about the gripe regarding accessories? I've purchased the rotopax mounts, license plate relocation, hi-lift and the trail rack. They're all solidly built - did we get the same accessories?
