ARB winch combo question

Hey everyone I have a 2010 tacoma w/ the new ARB bumper and I was going to mount the VR Warn winch on it but the fairlead holes dont match up..... is it ok to drill new holes in the fairlead . . . . Is anyone else having this problem or know of another solution

 

ARB's instructions tell you that with most fairleads you will need to.

 

Ok cool that's what I figured thanks

 

Does your fairlead tuck into the bumper because I'm having a problem putting the snap ring back on the top because its in the bumper.. . .. and you cant bolt it down unless the side rollers are off

 

Did you have to buy any extra parts to install the VR into the ARB bumper? I'm going to install mine later this week.

 

OP was last seen 3 years ago... suggest starting new thread or looking in Armor section?

 

I know.. was hopeful.

If your winch has a synthetic line then you will need an offset hawse fairlead. CustomSplice has ARB-specific ones:
