    I installed the 05-11 bumper on my 2012 and didn't need to cut anything.

    Install was fine considering the shitty instructions ARB sent with the bumper. Lol

    That’s good to know. There is an installation thread installing a 05-11 bumper on a 2012-2015 and they show having to cut the back of the uprights. Good to know this isn’t the case.

    There doesn't seem to be anything better than DIY plate weld front bumper, from coastal off road
    extreme clearance

    because it gives you extreme clearance

    besides that, with an ARB (such as my 05-11), well, it not extreme clearance.
    And yet still needed cutting and welding to clear non baby tires.
