C4 Overland Rear Bumper on 2025 TRD Pro - 90% Installed

[zekesview]

After a few months of working with C4 on version 2 of their rear bumper, I finally got it installed.

This is a direct OEM bolt on but if you have a TRD Pro trim, there are a few tweaks that you'll need to work through. Specifically the parking sensors along with the key fob sensor.

Open items include...

1. Finishing mounting my Diode Dynamic C2R lights into the flush mount section - currently bolted to the frame
2. Replacing the ARB Tow Hooks with C4 (which sit higher)
3. Finding my rivnut tool so I can apply the step plates

The ARB Bumper along with the ARB Tow Hooks will be posted for sale shortly once I figure out a price. I also pulled off the TRD Exhaust and added a dump pipe just before the rear axle.

I also have C4 Rock Sliders and C4 Low Pro Front Bumper.

Overall I'm very happy with how this looks. The lines are clean and the build quality is top.

Out of curiosity, is there any reason you mounted those lights below the high lift jack point instead of directly on the bumper? Or is that a future update?

I don't have or use a high-lift jack so that spot was safe for now. With the new C4 Bumper, Im going to flush mount them into the bumper (just waiting on the flush kit)

Ironically - Im getting a high lift soon so the timing is appropriate.

Makes sense. I kept asking myself why would he have those holes in the high clearance bumper and have those lights mounted lower

That ARB tow hook you have in the trailer hitch tube is awesome.
1. Where did ya get it and how much ?
2. Are you using the trailer hitch pin that came in our Gove box or is that a regular AutoZone pin ?

That’s from Agency6 (think they’re right about $100) and I’m using a lock bought from Amazon.

There are a ton of options, cheaper and more expensive, for hitch mounted recovery hooks. Personally I prefer this style:

Reason being the shackle allows for loop style recovery ropes without a secondary soft shackles. Just a little more versatile and cheaper. Could get a red shackle if you want it to match



Also really dig that bumper. Are the little pockets on the corner for more lighting as well or do they serve an alternate purpose?

The pockets on the corners are for the BSM Sensors (BlindSpotMonitor)
