    I'd rather not post the accident picture of my truck. I might post a picture of my truck with the new ARB bumper though. How's that?

    Give me a couple of days and I'll take some pictures to share with everyone. I'm pretty happy with my new ARB bumper that I bought after the accident and had the body shop install it for me instead of the OEM bumper that the insurance wanted to give me as part of my insurance work. I'm grateful that they helped me out though my rates are going to go up as a result.

    Ok gentlemen, I need some assistance on this damn install. I have installed a ARB deluxe bumper on this truck before so idk what the hell is going on. My bumper is not lining up left and right. The passenger side of the bumper is sticking out past my funder about 1/8 inch. While the driver side is about 1/8 under the driver fender. I have took everything off and tried to get the mounting bracket moved over but I cant. I tried to hammer it over but its not moving at all. Has anyone else had this problem

    Had this same problem happened to my bro n law truck. Mines went smoothly while his did not line up. You line up one side and the other side is off. His truck was purchased used and we thought maybe it’s been in a front collision before. But all his lights and bumper lined up nicely, so we thought maybe they dropped the bumper during shipping. My guess is it was made on a Friday. see if you can return it order another bumper. Says made in Taiwan on my box so you know it’s not coming straight from arb these days.

    Seems like there is a good showing of the ARB population in here. I've been searching around for those of you that have mounted a light bar to the top hoop of a Deluxe or Summit bumper but haven't found real definitive answers to the question on how you are mounting using the existing tabs.

    The best I've found are folks using angle mounts and smaller light bars.

    Ideally I'd like to utilize the largest single row light bar and the existing tabs.

    If this search is fruitless I'll likely just go the route of a round clamp style:

    Pie is so good. Trivia fact. If you ever eat at a Perkins Restaurant you'll know they have good pies. If you ever see Marie Callender's Pies in the frozen food section, they are owned by Perkins....Boom, you heard it here. (having said that they have split up...dammit)

    I highly recommend using the 2005-2011 version vs the 2012+ version. The fit is awesome.
