Hey guys im going to be installing an ARB bumper on my rig next weekend. Does anyone have any tips to help me out, make things go smoother?

Im buying the bumper used, so i might not have all the hardware.

Cheers

cant wait to post pics with the new bumper, and 1.5" wheel spacers!

 

have a friend help you, or two... they are heavy and awkword...

 

Here are the install sheets I put up on my site long long ago for my '91 4Runner.
What year of rig are you putting this on?
If your '91, this is in the wrong section.

 

engine hoist and a couple of ratchet straps is how I've always done it.

 

Sizzlechest bought my ARB from me and I watched him install it all by himself in front of my steps.

It can be done by one person if you are determined and eat your Wheaties

But it is best to have two.
When Jim (mytruck) and I took mine off of the old rig, we used a floor jack and me underneath to uninstall it.

 

I installed my tjm by myself pretty much, had one guy help me get the old bumper off and help with mounting the brackets, im not sure how heavy the arb is compared to my 90 pound tjm but the tjm I had a floor jack to push it up where the bolt holes would line up and i would use my feet to kick the wings up to make it straight

thats pics of the new bumper on my truck

 

That sounds really funny!

 

I could not help him at the time, my lower back was killing me.

 

I figured you probably had a good reason, it still sounded funny though.

 

I just saw this or I woulda offered to help. I decided not to sell mine. Looks good though. What part of Cowtown you in?

 

it's very straight forward. remove old bumper, install new one.

 

it only took 2 hours to remove and replace with the new arb bumper.

im up in the nw...valley ridge.

 

baby pig...whats the hella h4 conversion like on your truck?

 

I'm not baby pig, but the H4 conversion ROCKS. I have seen the Hella ones and the IPF ones. I have IPF and think they have a better reflector, still running cheap H4 bulbs but its night and day over sealed beam.
