Do you know of any company that still makes aftermarket bumpers for he renegade? It looks like avid and motorcity aftermarket are out of stock on all jeep renegade parts.
Thats awesome! Keep us updated on how the additional weight affects the front end sagging. Also real mpg numbers on your current setup. Love how avid has changed the game with all their BU products
Will do and so far my front is .25” sorter than the rear. MPG well has stayed the same for my set up at about 17.8. Always been like that for me though.
Hey what's, I like your mods on your renegade. By any chance do you know if I can get any of those accessories for a 2018 jeep compass trailhawk? Thanks keep up the great work.
After watching this video, I bought one. Wondering though, did it come with the license plate bracket? Your videos are extremely helpful and encouraging. Thanks
Hey! Is that front skid plate the original on the TH? I'm in Colombia and getting the AVID's here is a pain in the wallet so I went with custom made one but I ripped the plastic skid plate that came with the car. I'm thinking about having one custom made as well.
Any idea what the total net weight gain was after the install. Avid has the bumpers weight on their website, but not how much weight it actually adds to the renegade.
@@ChimichangaTv Damn. I was really hoping the 150 pounds on the website was the gross weight of the parts, not the net weight gain. Not sure I feel comfortable adding that much weight to my Renegade.
@@ChimichangaTv Your response regarding the Net Weight Gain is patently absurd, considering you literally made a video in which you removed the factory-installed front bumper in order to install the Avid Pre-Runner Front Bumper. Although made of plastic and other lighter materials than the Avid piece, I am certain that the factory bumper does in fact have mass, and therefore weight. So, the Net Weight Gain is 150 lbs MINUS the weight of factory bumper. In the future, simply admitting that you failed to weigh the factory bumper would be preferable to spreading disinformation. Thank you.
Have you had any problems with that radiator fan? Gone out? Any of your other friends as well? Just wondering. And how is the reliability on your renegade so far?
My radiator fan also went out at 44k miles on it. This also blew the 50amp fuse. I replaced it with same OEM fan. Now Jeep Renegade limited 2016 is fine. Its apparently a known issue.
I love your channel and mods to your Renegade. I plan on putting some 225/70r16s on my sport. I am stock height for now but plan to get either the daystar 1.5 or the AVID 2.5 lift. What size spacers did you use on yours?
I used 2”. But you’ll have to do the pinch seam mod if you go spacers with a tire that big for rubbing issues. It’s my newest video released go have a look. It will help a lot to get you spacer ready.
Hi I recently bought a jeep renegade with those bumper guards attached. Just curious how much do they cost and any idea what kind of metal it's made of?
Hey the opt7 headlight you had installed, how did you manage to keep your stock DRL ro light while the opt7 DRL lighted up at the same time. I thought only the opt7 x will light up since they replace the stock drl.
It honestly ranges. I personally charge $300 but I’ve seen shops go all the way up too $600 or more. Shop around is all I can recommend and find a good shop
Good stuff but that will make the Renegade very heavy. That will not make more than 15mpg. And with 11 gallons, you won't get far. I can't go more than 220 miles on my Trailhawk.
Wheels are the factory 17” and the tires are 225/65r17 it’s the size I recommend most but you can go up too a 265/70r17 with heavy modifications. Such as a big lift, and 2” wheel spacers. But your suspension will start to fail sooner than intended if you go that route.
Unfortunately I don’t but I have one over the Valkyrie light brackets. Which is basically the same. I’d personally go with the Valkyrie ones being the light options are endless with that bracket
awesome video! i did the Avid Radius bumper and took me about the same amount of time...i never did figure out what some of those parts were for either...i also have the same licence plate bracket...makes things so much easier!
I ran 225/65r17 personally with a 1.5” lift. But you can run 235/65r17 but there might be a slight rub. I did what’s called a pinch seam mod where you remove the inner fender and you’ll see the pinch seam and I cut that out which helped eliminate the rub.
That's how a renegade should look. Someone needs to show this to Jeep.
Do you know of any company that still makes aftermarket bumpers for he renegade? It looks like avid and motorcity aftermarket are out of stock on all jeep renegade parts.
Was looking to get one of them bumpers for my jeep, now I can all out of stock and no idea why
Do you by any chance know if this is compatible with a 2018 Jeep renegade latitude?
Hello, anyone know how I can buy this avid front bumper for a 2018 jeep renegade sport 1.8!? Pleaseeee
Digging your lift height / wheel set up. What lift kit did you go with and what brand tires are those? Thanks!
I’m running daystar 1.5” lift with bf Goodrich KO2 225/65r17.
Those Europeans didn't design this jeep to be hill billy'd up. Lol
Lol I didn’t Hill billy it. Everything has a practical usage lol.

I know for sure the Valkyrie skid plates will work on your compass
Hey mate, I know it's been long time ago, but can I ask you for the small red thing on the wheel, how to get a one like yours?
Cheers.
After watching this video, I bought one. Wondering though, did it come with the license plate bracket? Your videos are extremely helpful and encouraging. Thanks
No it’s did not. I grabbed that off quadratec. I’m glad they are helpful
@@ChimichangaTv what bracket did you get off of quadratic???

No the front isn’t but the one under it is the oil pan one
At the beginning there were a few parts that you didn’t know what they were for. Did you ever figure out what those parts were for?
They are involved in the winch install. I’ll be doing a video over that soon
Is that an insert on the wheel or did you just paint it? Oh and can I get specifics on brand or where to buy. Thanks
Actually just painted them. I just got painters tape and masked it off
@@ChimichangaTv Thanks

The weight of the product will be the weight it adds in the end

Can you post the link to the website for this bumper? I can’t find one
Have you had any problems with that radiator fan? Gone out? Any of your other friends as well? Just wondering. And how is the reliability on your renegade so far?
Yes it was an issue 2015 to some 2016 had. But overall it’s rock solid I’d say.
My radiator fan also went out at 44k miles on it. This also blew the 50amp fuse. I replaced it with same OEM fan. Now Jeep Renegade limited 2016 is fine. Its apparently a known issue.
Mine went out also at 30k miles a little stick broke it so watch what you run over in the road !
or store grill guard jeep renegade at Quebec /? ....
Does the Limited version have a crash bar as well?

Can you help me out and let me know if the X bull 13000 winch will fit?
That winch is way overkill for the renegade. I believe the bumper can only hold up too 12,000lb

Hey the opt7 headlight you had installed, how did you manage to keep your stock DRL ro light while the opt7 DRL lighted up at the same time. I thought only the opt7 x will light up since they replace the stock drl.
It’s a special wire harness they send with the lights
Out of curiosity where did you get the brackets mounted between your hood and fender? I need some to tye off my kayaks.
There from Valkyrie.com
You have the Trailhawk right?
Did you have a coupon code for avid by chance was fixing to order front and rear with tire carrier
Sadly I do not anymore with them
How much would you estimate I shop would charge to install this? Sadly I am not car savvy.
It honestly ranges. I personally charge $300 but I’ve seen shops go all the way up too $600 or more. Shop around is all I can recommend and find a good shop
@@ChimichangaTv Thanks for the recommendation dude!
what the size of this tires?
Can you use a high lift Jack on this bumper to change a tire?
Yes according to there website you can
What size of lift and what size of tires you have on this renegade man?
It’s just an 1.5” lift and 225/65r17 wheels
Will the avid products fit the newer 2019 models?
Not sure. Since the trail hawk looks similar to the older design I’d think it should but I can’t say for certain
What tires are those ? Will they fit without a lift ?
There bf Goodrich ko2 tires. There 225/65r17. Should fit with no lift
would a dremel work for cutting the fender and bumper? I dont have a die grinder. but got a dremel!
Yes that will work fine
@@ChimichangaTv heck yeah!
A jigsaw with a really fine blade will give you a better end result.
Good stuff but that will make the Renegade very heavy. That will not make more than 15mpg. And with 11 gallons, you won't get far. I can't go more than 220 miles on my Trailhawk.
Some boltsook like eyes
what size are your tire and wheels
Wheels are the factory 17” and the tires are 225/65r17 it’s the size I recommend most but you can go up too a 265/70r17 with heavy modifications. Such as a big lift, and 2” wheel spacers. But your suspension will start to fail sooner than intended if you go that route.
Can I put one on my 2016 renegade sport
Yes go to avid.red and pick one up
can you share link with those led head lights
www.opt-7.com/outlaw-x-drl-led-jeep-renegade-replacement-headlights/
Have you installed the winch yet?
Yes working to release a video of that very soon
Do you have an install video for the opt7 headlights? Also would you recomend them?
Unfortunately I don’t but I have one over the Valkyrie light brackets. Which is basically the same. I’d personally go with the Valkyrie ones being the light options are endless with that bracket
@@ChimichangaTv did you ever have any issues with the opt7 lights. Did the ever stop working or were they pretty reliable?
awesome video! i did the Avid Radius bumper and took me about the same amount of time...i never did figure out what some of those parts were for either...i also have the same licence plate bracket...makes things so much easier!
One is a winch relocation bracket I’ll be doing when I install my winch again
rxmclaren7 what license plate is this? May I have the link for it? I'm trying to find correct one.
Where did you get your plate brackets?
Where you have buy the front h4 led light?
Opt7.com
Did this install put the radiator support on before taking off the crash bar then you avoid it moving on you.
I liked your tires, where can I get them? Or the size and specifications please.
Does the PreRunner work on the 1.4t?
I believe they have one on there website
What are the specs on your wheels and tires
225/65r17
Did you upgrade your headlights?
Yes I did I was running the Opt7 ones. But Valkyrie Offroad has an adapter to install any wrangler headlight. I have a video on the channel.
What brand and size tires do you have? I love the tread pattern and just lifted my jeep!
Looks like I know what im spending stimulus check #2 on lol

Size of tires ?
What's the story behind the two red inserts on jeeps
Mopar Morphin Time Generally they are just for cosmetic appearance, but some, like my Renny, have it to symbolize the ToasterJeep online forum
Headlights?
07:11 Is it cracking up there?
hey, what's this rim and tires?
Rims are the factory trail hawk ones and the tires are the bfgoodrich ko2. 225/65r17
