ARB Bumper Installed

Install went well. Also installed a lightbar made by Hanma.

 

did you do the end cap mod? (Plan on getting a winch?)

I will be boxing in the front of my frame and beefing up the end caps tomorrow, hopefully get my bumper mounted this weekend

 

How is the front suspension handling the weight?

 

I really like the bumper but I agree, I want to know the affects on the suspension

 

You'll be satisfied with that bumper.
I've had mine for 10 years.
I lived for years in Northern Maine before moving to Belize and living near the sea.
My rear bumper, from a different manufacturer having similar powder coating, is rusting out, paint flaking... but until now no rust to be found on my ARB front bumper!

 

The bumper alone only weighs around 80lbs, pretty much any aftermarket coil can had that added weight. The stock bumper weighs around 25lbs, you you're only adding 55lbs or so.

I put an ARB on my truck with OME 881 and the sag was very very minimal.

Now, throw a winch into the mix and it's a different story.

 

Looking good...How hard is the install? I priced one today and the place I called said 4 hours worth of labor and about $400 extra.

 

Bolts on. Did it with a friend.

 

they are easy. i've done both of mine. one on my 1st gen and one on my 2nd gen. also check out the NC thread.

 

I thought the bumper weighed more then that.. its a little expensive but its worth the money if it lasts and you can drive though a house with it..
