The new Owl Pismo bumper is a beautiful evolution of the Sprinter bumper. Compact, clean, and sleek while retaining an aggressive but factory look.
Manufactured of rugged steel, this bumper allows the mounting of a 12,000 lbs winch and adds dual recovery points and a hitch mount.
Designed in partnership with one of the industry's largest bumper manufacturers means you can rest assured the quality and longevity are up to the toughest challenges. This bumper is bulletproof and you know Owl has put it to the test (breaking gear is our pastime!)
Can we also talk about how good it looks? Blending effortlessly into the lines of the Sprinter while adding just the right amount of toughness with a 1.875" bull bar. The Pismo protrudes only a few inches from the factory plastic bumper which gives it a more subtle look.
Sensors:
The Pismo relocates both the radar sensor and the parking sensors and both should function like factory. Importantly, the radar sensor is mounted within, not above, the bumper as it is on other bumpers. The lower mounting keeps the sensor much closer to the factory height to ensure proper function.
Recovery:
For those wanting to take their van off the beaten path, it is critical you have solid recovery points and a winch. As they say, prepare to self-rescue. Whether it is pulling yourself out of a sticky situation, or helping a stranded vehicle, once you have a winch, you won't know how you managed without one.

**Important - Bumper release of liability
Installation of an aftermarket bumper requires relocating the factory radar sensor which is used as part of the safety system on the vehicle. OWL does not complete any safety testing on the effect of relocating this equipment and cannot predict how this will affect the functioning of the vehicle’s safety system.
Additionally, a bumper can play an important role in the crashworthiness of the vehicle involved in a collision. OWL does not complete any safety testing on the effect of a new bumper on the crashworthiness of a vehicle involved in a collision.
The original designer and manufacturer have assured Owl of the bumper that it is safe, and after recalibration, the system SHOULD function as intended. Owl CANNOT independently verify this claim. All functional and safety claims are solely those of the designer and manufacturer.
The buyer assumes all liability for making these changes to their vehicle. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to inform all occupants of the vehicle of the changes made to the safety system. The purchaser also assumes all liability for any other vehicles or occupants involved in a collision or incident with the modified vehicle.
Purchaser agrees to indemnify Owl against any claim in the event the safety systems are adversely affected or do not function as intended. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to comply with all local and national laws regarding making changes to the safety equipment of the vehicle.

Canceled Orders
We want all customers to be happy with their purchases but in the event of a canceled order, we cannot recoup the fees charged to us by the credit card companies. When an order is placed, the credit card company takes a percentage of the sale, typically 5%-6% This is money that DOES NOT go to us and we do not get this charge given back to us when we refund an order. Therefore, if someone buys a suspension and then cancels, we pay the credit card company several hundreds of dollars that we cannot get back. Although you may not have noticed, it is industry standard for larger dollar items to have a "restocking fee" of 15% or more. We do our best to charge exactly what we get charged by the credit card company when you cancel an order. In the event of a canceled order, the 5%-6% that the credit card company charges us cannot be refunded. Please make note of this before you order.
• All canceled orders over $1000 paid with a "Credit Card" will have a 5% credit card processing fee that cannot be returned.
• All canceled orders over $1000 paid with a "Shop Pay Installments" will have a 6% credit card processing fee that cannot be returned.
