    The engineer in me resulted in weighing mine. I carefully weighed everything I took off and put on. On my '13, the net weigh addition over stock is 131lbs. That includes all of the nuts and bolts, ARB fog lights, and removed parts subtracted. This weight is without a winch.

    Not included in the weight are Led round lights (ARB knock offs) that I got off of Amazon. Bright as heck and about $100 for the pair. Look just like the real thing except the have an LED label instead of a ARB at the bottom of the lens.

    You like them? I want the ARB ones but $500 a light is hard to swallow.

    They're in the mail, so I couldn't tell you just yet. I'm still deciding what fogs I want. I like the SAE/DOT Compliant fog lights a lot.

    I'm about to pull the trigger on an ARB for my 03.

    Does anyone have/heard of the Integrit option on the bumper? Any ideas on it? I live in hawaii so was hopeful it might help with the rust.

    Anyone have any write-ups, pictures, or ideas on how much extra work it takes to mount up an 05-11 ARB to a 12-15 truck? I'm a big fan of the ARB's, just not really liking the aesthetics of the 9 inches on the later gen. I especially think it would look funky on my AC.

    It adds 131lbs to the truck without a winch. I weighed everything I took off and put on when I installed mine on my '13.
