Default Anyone running the RR XHD Bumper on 12 or 13?
I just bought it and am wondering if I will have to do the vacuum relocate with this bumper. I'm assuming so...

I have one on my 12. If you have the winch mount bumper you do have to relocate. I bought the teraflex kit to relocate but the XHDs ship with their own "kit" now.

I installed it on my 13 and its a simple install. The vac kit def comes with it. Make sure you have some black paint available and something to cut the bracket with.

I swapped mine over from my 08 so I had to get the relo kit. Went with OR Fabs.

OR Fab was cheaper than TF I think (?), but I went that way anyway. Can't remember why now. I do know that I thought the RR one that leaves it behind the bumper would make getting to the nuts for the winch and the back of the fog light a bit hard.

One of the relocation kits? I can take a pic of my TeraFlex, but I think their online instructions show it well. There is an install video on YouTube too. Let me know if you want a pic of mine, I'll take one in the morning.
