ARB Installed

My ARB Bull Bar came in Tuesday and got installed this week. I absolutely LOVE it! It's an awesome piece and so well built. I paid a whopping $40 for the install since I am lazy. A new driver door and fender went on this week as well, and most of the body was painted.

Anyway, here it is:










Just in comparison, here's what the truck looked like the day I brought it home back in March:

Looks great!
ARBs are the beefaroni.

Love the flares too, same as mine.

How is the front end, any diving?
I have the Warn XD9000 winch also, and I had to go with the SAW 25 mm T bars to keep the rig from on me when I came to a quick stop.

Sweet looking truck, bryanr.

The bump, flares, louvers and tint all serve to set it off just right.

My dumb*ss lowered the extended cab that I had..., was in a different frame of mind then.

Thanks! I'm certainly very happy with the direction I have taken the truck. I've got a few more tricks left (SR5 bucket seats, rear tube bumper, gears) but I need to stop before the wife gets too angry

Your truck is SICK!

As Corey asked, i'm also curious if your front end feels any different from the added weight?

Very nice truck. What type of suspension lift are you using? Did you get the ARB locally or shipped to you?
Thanks

Superlift 4" Suspension w/rear springs. I had the ARB shipped from http://www.4by4connection.com/ to the shop that does my work.

Thanks! I can't tell any difference with it being on the front. It doesn't sag or droop even under braking any more than normal. I'm very happy with it!

She looks gorgeous! well done bud, I like the rear bar with your lights on it as well. Reminds me of the Hiluxs I used to see in Afghanistan, very wicked.
