my custom bumpers..

Well I decided to sell the ARB and go the custom route.











My goal was as high clearance as possible but still be stout. I think I achieved that. The sides are so much higher than the old ARB. The turn signals will be mounted today and where the winch fairlead goes will be cut out today as well. I absolutely loved the way it came out. These guys do awesome work, top notch. Im very impressed so far and cant wait to get the rear completely done. Here is a little preview of the rear!!!!!

I would hate to have those things hit my truck! Makes you wonder why ARB doesn't make their bumpers less boat like. Great product you have there

Thanks for the compliments everyone! A shop built them for me. Fabthatinc.com is their website. The bomb was cool as hell lol. I was like wtf. The main guy who built my bumpers was actually straddling it while they put it up there! He is a crazy mofo.

I also picked up an m8000 today for the front!
