Howdy Mark,

I have a 2015 Overlander and made enquiries about fitting a bull bar at a reputable aftermarket 4X4 equipment supplier in Perth W.A. approximately 15 months ago.
I was advised there were no bars manufactured which would not foul the A.C.C.

I also made enquiries with the John Hughes Chrysler/Jeep service manager Murray Hynes. Murray told me point blank that Jeep did not recommend fitting either a genuine or after market bar to an Overland model as the A.C.C. would constantly sense the bar and would trigger the auto braking function.

The only option to fit a bar is to remove the front parktronic module and deactivate the A.C.C. which then defeats the purpose of having an Overlander.

End result, I have not pursued fitting a bar any further as depreciaton is already a killer without disabling the factory features.

Cheers.
