so I installed the CBI Covert Front Bumper and WTF?

[mrblah]

the pic with my fingers through was taken with the window closed and held by 4 bolts.. if you undo those 4 bolts the whole window comes out and you can put two hands in there and mess around with the winch

Please enlighten us.

How does that hole that you call an winch access hole, allow you to operate what controls on your winch?

 

[Saker]

first let me show you how they advertised it in the pics.. nice and tight fit at the edges / corner

expectation

reality

now the bar fit pretty good inside ..

but then im confused what are these two hook looking things at the bottom doing there ? i didnt see them in other peoples pics

//
online it had these pics and i didnt see any of that under
example:

mine is a 2021 venture
these are the parts that had to come off in order for it fit

does anyone know if I can get some skid plate to go over that area to hide them ?

this guy trying to give me advice on what to do lol
shows how clueless you are.. i got my answer on my own before i even made this thread,,, i made a thread to let others know that the OEM skidplate wont fit with the covert bumper .. then people try to tell me that it does i never came here to ask what to do but to let others know this thread only dragged this long because fools trying to convince me otherwise without being at the shop seeing that it doesnt fit.. then having to show you clowns pictures just to prove that it doesnt fit LOL

The bold red type in your first post clearly indicates what you stated.
In bold dark red is an untrue statement because you were clearly asking for help trying to find a skid that would cover!

Calling people clowns when they try to help is immature at the very least on a forum where you obviously requested help. Maybe you dont think so, but it sure comes across like that.

I hope you get your answers next time when asked in a more civil tone!

You have a nice day now!

 

[mrblah]

cant be srs i mean why am i surprised from a guy whos username is blah

instead of demanding pictures maybe dont open your mouth without having first hand experience on the subject

do you have this bumper ? no then stfu simple as that why are giving me advice,, i said from the start it doesnt fit not bold right on at least

i did contact CBI directly i mentioned this from the start they even confirmed LOL

in one video it shows they have the skid plate on but NO bumper

in a diff video (the instagram one) theres a bumper but no skid plate

2+2 ?

what a fkn clown

Pretty much all your posts and statements have been untrue.

When we finally gave you the answers to solve your problem, you pretend you didn't have a problem in the first place, and that you had the solution all along. You don't even have a winch installed, and now you are claiming, what works and what doesnt work on your bumper, just make up stuff to support your argument.

The irony of all your posts is they are so ridiculous, i don't even have to defend myself from your insults. Usually, I would be tempted to troll you, but you aren't even a challenge. It would be a waste of my time. At this point, I just feel truly sorry for you.

Cheers, and welcome to my ignore/block list.

We're just tryna help man.

there is another entrance when u unbolt the cover for the ''radiator air flow.. there is a big opening above .. its just another access to the winch space if needed

as you can see the plate is currencty closed and i have my fingers through it but if i had the cover unbolted then you can it the whole hand in there

Why do people buy winch bumpers and not mount winches in them. Is it for show?

So, just what are you going to access on that winch?

Come on man, you can admit you are pulling at straws…..

It’s for cooling and decoration O N L Y !

its a hole that lets you touch the winch made its loose and you need to move it i dunno its still a winch access. if you can touch = access
nbut sure funny enough picking this out and not the fact a few goofs on here tried telling me a bumper that they dont have or never seen before in person fits and my OEM skid plate will bolt right up now that they are totally wrong you pick on me for me calling a big ass hole in the middle of my bumper behind a cover plate directly under where a winch would be and me calling it a ''one of the winch access holes is somehow not kosher but arguing for 4 pages telling me a skid plate bolts right up and when i gotta show goofs pics that it doesnt all the sudden '' oh u gotta do some fabrication work to make it fit lol wow so useful.. obv i know that already lol

Are the many aftermarket bumpers that don't have a winch mount?
I prefer the added protection of a metal vs plastic bumper. Having bull bars adds even more protection for me, from animal strikes. Open range cattle where I live plus wild burros are common.
I probably wouldn't need a winch myself. Tough decision for me justifying the purchase plus ongoing cost in weight for something likely won't use.

All this talk about "access holes" is getting me turned on....I'm gonna call my lady friend.

OP's posts and threads remind of of this quote. It suits him very well.

You guys have a lot of patience for someone that can barely formulate a sentence much less comprehend one.

Homeboy, go buy the CBI skid. I'm safely assuming it will bolt right up.

 

[z32-z33]

I have this bumper and I had to bend the front edge of the oem skid plate and use washers for it to fit.

The removable CBI decorative plate allows you access to the 4 mounting holes to install a winch. I have a Warn vr evo 10s installed on mine.

Holy moly what an adventure. 10/10 would read again. Was like binge watching a new netflix series…

I haven’t posted in a million years and my non-KDSS venture edition has changed quite a bit since last year. I’ll just leave this recent picture of it right here :lol:

IMO if you’re really off-roading your 4runner.. a front bumper should be on the low priority of things to get. Sliders > skids > rear bumper armor wise. Our ass gets a beating way more than the front (that’s what she said!) my Nguyenworks rear bumper will be ready next Friday.. WOOHHHHHH!!!!

Recovery points.

seems overkill....I find these simple recovery tips to be helpful.

well that was fun. What I've learned from this thread:

1) everyone on this forum (aside from our Canadian friend) are either:
a. goofs
b. fools
c. clowns
d. some combination of the above

2) if you can touch it, it's an access hole

 

[rhadam]

Treaty Oak Offroad recovery points would be cheaper. But I guess that doesn't get the Instagram likes.

Sure. Apex Overland sells a version as well. Both are cost-effective alternatives. Nevertheless, the question was why do people buy them without a winch, and there are several possibilities. A desire to make the other vehicle serve as the crumple zone. Solid recovery points. And of course, looks.
