Dissent offroad 80 series modular bumper interest

[MickeyB]

Can anyone confirm is these are still coming LTL? Looks like they could ship UPS in a couple boxes and save some $$

Way to many parts that are to heavy. Would
Take 10 boxes at least.

The dissent bumpers I've put together could easily have been 3 boxes. If it's a rear with all of the addons, I totally agree. But a base bumper, with no bullbar or no swingouts... I bet 3-4 boxes easy.

I've had multiple sets of sliders delivered UPS

Just received confirmation my install is correct.
Photos on their site are of the proto.


It looks like on their install photos the inside braces (2 running from next to trailer hitch at 45* to the inside of the frame) mount with 4x bolts on each side to a plate that goes between the wing and the frame. How I installed:

How the dissent site shows:

Thanks for posting this update. Hit the same roadblock and Dissent still has the prototype instructions on their site. It looks like they updated the combo light mounting as well for anyone interested.

Anyone have suggestions on where to locate/tap the brake, turn, reverse lighting from the factory system for the 3-way combo lights? Trying to avoid tapping directly off of each tail light and would prefer grabbing wiring from somewhere inside the cabin, just haven't had much luck (or spent a ton of time hunting yet).

I went through the install docs available online but generally don't cover the combo lights (at least the PDF's I downloaded...).

Thanks!

There is a junction plug under the back tailgate where people plug in trailer wiring harnesses where the wires and the plugs are already outside where you will need them to wire the lights for your bumper.

Here it is. I used a trailer wiring harness to splice in using plugs in place of vampire clips.

Appreciate the response, going to drop you a PM in hopes of not entirely hi-jacking this thread.

Nothing special I just wanted the color code wiring. I had one left over from another wiring job so it wasn't really wasteful for me. I didn't use anything else from it. Also it's only a couple feet that you use so you could just find 4 wires in any bundle you want. However these wires actually have the function written on each one along with the color so you can eyeball it later without tracing wires if you have an issue.

If you are talking about the plug-in Tail Light Converter: Combines brake and turn signals for trailer compatibility... that is probably hopkins or something from etrailer but you just want to find one that is plug-in and has the converter.

How to wire a 4 or 7 pin trailer connector and backup camera without splicing/cutting factory harness.

I thought I'd share how I wired my trailer connector and backup camera because I haven't seen anyone else use the factory plugs to their fullest potential. I did this on my HDJ81 but this will work for any 80 series. What you'll need for a flat 4 connector w/ backup camera: (1) Tekonsha wiring...
