    I found a good deal on a 2012-2015 ARB bumper but my cousin's truck is a 2011.
    Do you know if it fits?

    Thanks guys!

    not totally true. there are lots of people that have made these bumpers work for the non-intended years of the trucks. iirc the 2012-15 crowd has found the 2.0 arb bumper fits closer to the body which a lot of folks like.

    For 500 I think it's worth modifying it, thanks!

    yea. it seems the 2.5 version sticks out further but i don't see why it couldn't fit.

    So it will probably be the truck if anything needs to be modified.

    I had to modify my truck to fit the 2.0 ARB on my 2015

    Thanks!

    Bumping to see how this worked out, and/or if anyone else had any pictures of a 2.5 gen bumper on a 2nd gen. I may have found myself in the same scenario with a 12-15 bumper on my 06
