SAS w/ ARB Modifications
I'm looking for those of you out there that have an ARB winch bumper and have also done a SAS.
More specifically I'm looking to see how you modified your bumpers to work with the swap?
I've been acquiring parts and planning to do the swap, but not quite sure what to do about my bumper?

Everybody told me that I was crazy for keeping the ARB when I did my swap, but I really liked it, so we put some extra work into it. Basically we finished the swap, then held the brackets up against what was there and cut them to fit. Because so many of the stock mount holes are now not available, I chose to finish it off by tack welding the brackets/crush cans to the truck for extra stability. Now, to remove the bumper I reach up into it and remove the three bolts on each side, leaving the crush cans attached to the rig. If I ever have to replace those, I will have to unbolt them then cut the tack welds.

I like mine also and have been looking for ways to retain it after the swap.
