ARB installed-Finally

Finally got my ARB back from the painter. Still need some fogs lights and some trim pieces for the bumper, but it's on and sweet

That's sweet! That's the exact bumper I want. If on;y I had the money. Do you have any far away shots so we can see the whole deal?

Oh no! I'll tell you what, if you give me your bumper, you can buy another one and start over.

Very sharp!

Did you install it yourself, and if so, was it difficult?

i put it on myself in about 4 hours. I had to modify the end caps so the new bumper brackets would fit. Other than that the installation is a breeze.

That looks outstanding. I really like the integrated look with the matching paint.

190 from the stealer. That inluded the light inserts and the brackets(which don't need paint)
note: there is a winch plate in the very bottom of one of the 5 boxes. I forgot to get it painted

Just a tip. If you wheel it as the frame flexes the bumper will come into contact with the flares. I have a 1/2" gap and it still flexes into the flares.
