Re: ARB Bumper + Warn M8000 Installation - LOTS of pictures

Completed installation pictures (you asked for multiple angles, here you go):










Notable items that came up during the installation (in no particular order):

- Cutting the fender wells. I tried zip-tying them and eventually ended up cutting them off. We need an aftermarket sheet metal/plastic product to clean up the wheel wells.

- Installing a Hawse fairlead may not be possible. The ARB is designed for a roller fairlead. I will be attempting to install my hawse fairlead in the next couple of days.

- Unspool your winch cable before installing the winch + bumper on the FJ. It's much lighter...

- Installing the turn signals is a PITA. Have someone with tiny finger come help you with this step.

- The gap between the top of the bumper and the from of the FJ is about 1/2" to 3/4" and doesn't look that great. We need ARB to ship us a piece of molding to clean it up.

- The skid plate needs to be thrown in the recycle bin. Don't bother installing it.
