Finally did it.. ARB Bumper Install Complete
At last.. after waiting a couple days after it arrived at my house I decided I didn't want to wait any longer for my friends with shops to help put it on. That and I recently discovered my father owns a nice sawzall :D So between the constant back and forth with my good for nothing oh so helpful buddies getting in the way wondering what's going on haha and a break for dinner (mmm, chinese!) it took me little over 3 hours. Which reminds me, the chinese dude that delivered the food asked what the hell I was doing and he gave me a thumbs up on the new bumper. Kinda made me laugh.. ANYWAYS, time includes the cutting, grinding, all the lining up, light wiring, and lower skid extension. Started around 6 ended somewhere after 9. I'm kinda anal when it comes to my own vehicle, I like things to be perfect. It was definitely a learning experience and so far the first extensive cutting and fabrication I've done. Next project will be the sliders I'm having built. I only have a couple crappy cell phone pic for now cus it was dark when I finished and my camera battery died before it was all said and done, go figure. I'll take more pics tomorrow morning and update.. Here ya go

hmm..very interesting about the recall..i've been seeing A LOT of them on trucks around here...and i know they're cheap lol.
it's between the Federal 285/75's and some treadwright (MTR look alike) in the same size lol thanks for the insight dude!!! have you kept up on the balance and rotation really good? of course 30K miles out of a set of M/T's is pretty good lol |
Oh and keep your clear corners and just get the clear ARB lenses. |

This picture had me so messed up, look at the winch plate, it looks like there is some weird bracket there or something. BTW, nice install man. I'm so jealous of those wheels.

Yeah, it just made me do a quadruple take, lol. BTW, I get first dibs!!
|
That ARB looks really sharp except its missing a winch (hint hint). If you do put in a winch don't forget to do the end cap frame mod.

Haha, thanks! I'm in the middle of deciding on a winch (see link in sig) and yes, I will reinforce the end cap when I add one.

Holy nice house behind you lol.
Bumper looks good too lol |
