    I just bought myself a 2022 ORP with Multi-Terrain Monitor (MTM) and want to start upgrading. One of my first upgrades was going to be a bumper and I like the bull bar bumpers. I know bull bars have caused problems with the TSS in the past and manufacturers have modified accordingly, but now with the new MTM on 2022 models, they’ve relocated it. Anyone know any bumpers that’ll work with both MTM and TSS without sacrificing either technology?

    Welcome from Wisconsin! I've seen the C4 bumper with bull-bar on here. Do a search for them on the upper right hand corner, the pics. should pop up. Just don't get a 'stand alone' bull bar, for instance, a deer hit may cause the bull bar to hit body parts and do more damage than if you didn't have a bar at all.

    The SSO Bumper will clear the 2021 style TSS sensor. So I imagine it will clear the new 2022 positioned ones.

    Thanks! Really curious about the MTM... It's hard to tell from photos if the bar would block the camera or not. Im not TOO worried about the TSS since it's actually lower on the 2022, so I assume it has more clearance. I'm pretty pumped up for the bird's eye view cam with MTM, so I don't want to risk a bull bar getting in the way... I may need to wait for more trial and error by others before pulling the trigger. @Toy4X4, I saw that c4 explicitly mentions it, so I know they're aware, but they havent tested/confirmed it yet from what I'm reading.

    well here is a front end shot. Where is the camera located on yours?

    The camera is already lower than the height of the sensor from the 2021 model. You should be fine.

    Yep, same location (at least I assume it is between the Pro and the ORP - I don't physically have mine yet to double check). The cam primarily points down, so Im thinking you're likely correct.

    Agreed that the camera is pointing down so the SSO should be easily safe. Other Bull Bars that sit lower might still be a problem.
