Pics of ARB Bumpers

I jsut put mine on a few weeks ago, the only trimming I did was to the front part of the fender well. Other than that, install is really easy. Look at my build:

Also, High-gear has one too. I went with ARB based on the abuse I've seen them take in Afghanistan on some non standard tactical trucks. (anything driven by SOF guys has to be tough.) plus, I know I can nose first down a wash, wadi, or small drop and be ok. Best of luck to you.

You'll need some 886 coils or other type suspension setup to handle the weight. I drove with stock OR coild for about a month with my bumper on and didnt notice a huge difference, but it probably wasnt good for my girl.

 

Yep, definitely a solid bumper. I watched him bang in to the tree first hand at which point I was sold. My All Pro bumper probably would have folded one of the corners. The All Pro one is good for clearance but not really to good with hitting things. It's too thin. The ARB one I have seen in person and it would be my second choice after Relentless Fab. With Eric's or ARB's bumper I wouldn't be worried about hitting a deer on the highway.

I've posted these before but eh.

 

The box is the controls for the winch. I did not mount mine there because i did not want it to get wet all the time. Mine is mounted under the hood, with in cab controls from 12v guy.

 

Know its not my thread, but thanks for the responses guys... I'm going to consider RFab one more time but I think I'm going to go with the ARB. My main concerns:

1. Deer protection (I hit 2 last fall and came way too close way too many times)
2. airbag compatible
3. Off road capabilities
4. Looking bad ass

 

Thats the solenoid(?) for the winch.

 

I didnt trim any bodywork but I did have to trim the bumper to clear my 33s. the bumper was starting to groove the tire and was kissing it a lot on even mild whoops!
Pretrim

Posttrim

 

^Nice! My tires have been nicely sliced from the ARB with the wheels being fully stuffed in the well. I like what you've done with that. Very clean.
