    I had it done at an ARB authorized shop. Even they had a hell of a time putting it on from what they said.

    If you don't mind saying, what did they charge, or better yet how many hours? Thanks in advance.

    I do like that! I have the same color offroad. I wonder how much cutting had to be done? What are your suspension and tire details/setup? I read on ARB's site it weighs 170 lbs.

    I had a fender bender with my old ARB. No damage at all to the bumper. Completely accordioned a honda civic trunk who merged into my lane with no blinker and slammed on the brake. It literally buffed out.

    Wow that looks great I'm an arb fanboy I had one on my 07 for 8yrs before I sold the truck, seeing these pics reminds me of how badass they are. I hit three deer in those years, not a scratch, the deer were pushed under the truck and got run over .... the bumper literally paid for itself with no deductables and time wasted dealing with a chewed up front end...good call @sylntgrn1981 ..looks sharp , think I have another in my future...

    That redesign is killer, the 3423130 was replaced with a sh@t model for 2011-2015,with too tall hoops with less bend on the wings. That 2016 model.is really really good lookin'!!! Wonder if it could be wrangled onto a 2015..hmmm
