Cool Custom ARB bumper install

I picked up a brand new never used ARB for a jeep liberty for $150. It measures about 70" out to out so I figured I could make it work... I cut up the frame mount to make it fit the front of my yota. Here are a few pics. The one with it on the truck it isn't bolted yet so its tilted a little. with it bolted there is a 1/4" gap all the way around the grill. What do you all think?

I got the bumper from a guy who bought it new and he said it didn't come with the bolts to put it on and he didn't feel like going to the store over and over to find the right ones... I was thinking to myself... Someone's smoking something...

Thanks for the complements

Yeah, they are supposed to come with hardware, but it was missing some of the bolts. It even had the instructions in the box still when I got it. He just didn't want to mess with it.

I like this style too, its different than the Toyota but I think I like it more.

I need to get the fog lights and blinkers to fill the holes now. and a winch...

I'll take some more pics this weekend sometime. The bumper is 2 pieces. A frame mount that bolts to the frame, and then the bumper bolts to that. I used the Jeep mount and cut the bottom half off and just welded some angle iron and some supports to it and bolted it on. I think I'll end up welding it to.
