ARB Bumper + Warn M8000 Installation - LOTS of pictures

[chichid65]

Is the extra weight on the front end going to add or contribute to the bulges/rips that some people are experiencing in there engine bay? I would also like to add one of these to my FJ but am somewhat apprehensive at this point. what are your thoughts on this subject?

AFAIK there has been no definitive answer yet to what causes them. Some people have the rips and have the stock bumper. Some people have the rips and have an after-market bumper. Some have no rips and have stock or after-market bumpers.

FWIW, I found a pretty good deal on the ARB. $916.61 with free shipping. Performance Products 1-800-752-6268. Ask for Travis.

Truck Parts & Truck Accessories from Performance Products for Trucks & SUVs

Mine should be here by the end of the week!

Cheers,

[Paul K]

I have an ARB but no winch. To cover the holes, I had a piece of aluminum diamond plate cut. Pictures:









Looks great, and very functional.

I can post dimensions if needed.

HELP!!!

Just received my ARB today and was taking inventory, low and behold, the Nut Cage M12x1.75 (two) are missing.

Too late to call ARB, can I find this at Home Depot (Home center?)

or suggestions on where I can Find this tonight? if not, will have to call ARB in the morning. or perhaps and alternative?

Thanks

Call ARB in the morning, they will send them right out.

I wonder if you can purchase just those re-enforcing brackets and use them on other bumpers? Those brackets are a huge part in making that bumper so strong.

Update: Called ARB USA this morning. They will not help me directly. They say I have to go through my dealer.
